Audiomatic
Audiomatic is the German DJ and producer identity of Benjamin Halfmann, who has been producing and DJing since 1999 within the progressive psytrance scene and became the first artist signed to Vaishiyas' label Spintwist Records. His DJ sets have been booked at festivals and parties across the global psytrance circuit, a scene built on long, immersive sets rather than short festival slots, and his production work runs alongside a parallel career operating Audiomatic Mastering, a studio based in Bocholt that services other electronic artists. Halfmann's dual role as both a touring DJ and a working mastering engineer has given him a technical grounding that shows in the polish of his progressive psytrance releases, output that has helped sustain his standing within a genre known for tight-knit international followings. His affiliation with Spintwist Records as its debut signee gave him an early foothold in the psytrance label ecosystem, and he has continued to build on that foundation across parties and festivals over more than two decades of activity. Details of specific festival headline slots are less widely documented than his production and label history, but his continuous presence within the psytrance touring circuit since the late 1990s underpins his standing in the genre.
