Juno Reactor

About

Juno Reactor, the brainchild of Ben Watkins, isn't just creating electronic music; he's architecting sonic landscapes. For over three decades, Watkins has been a pivotal force in the evolution of psychedelic trance and goa trance, forging a sound that's as cinematic as it is dancefloor-ready. Blending orchestral arrangements, tribal rhythms, and cutting-edge synth design, Juno Reactor's music defies easy categorization. From the early days of the London acid house scene to the breakthrough album *Transmissions* and the international recognition garnered through film soundtracks like *The Matrix* trilogy, Watkins has consistently pushed the boundaries of electronic music. His collaborations range from Amampondo, a South African percussion ensemble, to iconic industrial act Front 242, showcasing a restless creative spirit. More than just a DJ or producer, Juno Reactor is an innovator, seamlessly fusing disparate musical traditions into a cohesive and powerful sonic experience. Recent projects see Watkins continuing to explore the intersection of technology and ancient musical forms, cementing his status as a visionary in the electronic music world.
