HENCE

“Hence is… an embrace of fate and modular thinking”

Hence, a musical collective that transcends the traditional boundaries of a band. Born in the heart of Berlin, Hence is not just about music; it’s a community, a movement, a weaponised declaration of love to the power of coincidence and chance encounters. At the genesis of Hence was a serendipitous meeting between Knuth and Daryl Bamonte. In an unexpected twist of fate, a casual conversation turned into a life-changing proposition: “Create a track, and I’ll release it.” Bamonte said that while lunch was being served in a hotel garden. This moment of happenstance didn’t just birth a song; it birthed Hence.

Central to the band’s philosophy is the concept of artistic freedom. Hence, it is not just a band; it’s a canvas for coincidence. It’s an embrace of fate and modular thinking. They send a current into a machine, turn some knobs and suddenly, sounds emerge. The same goes for the collaborative energy in Hence. New artists join not as mere contributors but as fully-fledged artistic influents, each given the liberty to mould and shape the music. This approach ensures that every Hence creation is imbued with diversity, echoing the myriad voices contributing to its making.

They released their first single ‘Stuck In My Throat’ on their own newly-formed Cosmic Cassettes label, with the follow up ‘I Woke Up In Northampton’, which features a remix by James Chapman aka Maps, being released on 23^rd July 2024.
