Biography
Benji Vaughan stands as one of the most innovative forces in psychedelic electronic music, best known for his groundbreaking work under the alias Prometheus. A master of sonic storytelling, Vaughan has consistently pushed the boundaries of psychedelic trance through his distinct production style, characterized by meticulously crafted basslines, intricate thematic development, and an unconventional approach to arrangement.
Throughout his career, Vaughan has been the creative force behind several influential projects. His collaboration with psychedelic pioneer Simon Posford as Younger Brother resulted in genre-defining albums that bridge the gap between electronic and organic soundscapes. His partnership with Raja Ram as The ZAP! explored the more experimental edges of the psychedelic spectrum, while his releases under his own name showcase his versatility as a producer.
As Prometheus, Vaughan crafted a unique sound that sets him apart in the psytrance scene. His compositions often feature sophisticated melodic progressions, deep, resonant bass work, and carefully structured arrangements that take listeners on immersive sonic journeys. The Prometheus project has become synonymous with intelligent, forward-thinking psychedelic music that challenges genre conventions while maintaining dancefloor appeal.
Beyond his solo ventures, Vaughan’s collaborative spirit has led to numerous partnerships with other leading figures in the electronic music scene. His work has been released on prestigious labels such as Twisted Records and has influenced a generation of producers in the psychedelic electronic music community.
Late 2023 marked a significant moment in Vaughan’s career with the release of new material under both his Prometheus alias (a three-track EP) and his second solo album under his own name, further cementing his position as a vital force in contemporary electronic music.
