Interview with Ionic Benton

Ionic Benton is a DJ/producer from Luxembourg and is one of the foremost names on the Second Life techno scene.

Ionic caught the wave of electronic music that washed over his native Luxembourg in the mid-eighties and has ridden it ever since. From organising acid house parties and DJing, to developing his own live act and touring Europe, Ionic has stayed right at the crest of that wave. His style of tribal-tinged, atmospheric minimal techno has won him a keen following – for several years he composed the official theme for Luxembourg’s e-Lake festival, and he has worked extensively on remixes for other artists.

Olaf Quintessa caught up with Ionic to talk about music, live performances, Second Life, and techno in the year 2109.
