Banaati is a Swedish progressive house producer, currently located in Gothenburg. He debuted on Monstercat with his Choir Of Angels EP, which was released on February 24, 2021.
Biography[]
With the rise of artists such as Swedish House Mafia, Avicii & Alesso during an epoch of Swedish dominance in the electronic music industry, the musical inspiration within the homeland was undeniably passed on to the upcoming generations. Benjamin Banati found his inner artistic visions as a young teenager in the rainy city of Gothenburg, as composing music under the moniker 'Banaati' became an essential strategy for him to escape the everyday life of long and cold Swedish winters.
Banaati's music is more of an artistic expression resulting from emotions rather than a commercial product. It is more of a musical journey than it is a means to pass time. Certainly, it is an emotional ride to a place far away.
Through his use of immersive atmospheres, euphoric chord progressions, and distinctive melodies, the Swedish producer has surely made a mark on the melodic deep house scene with releases on record labels such as Monstercat, Purified & Soave. Consequently, he has also gained support from some of the biggest acts in the industry with the likes of Tiësto, Armin van Buuren & Martin Garrix.
The passing of Avicii and the recent publication of his biography, affected the artist on a deeper level, evoking a desire, and a sense of duty to experiment with different musical combinations to stand out in the wild jungle of electronic music. Banaati's journey has, therefore, not just begun, but unlike with many other artists, you never know what is waiting around the corner.
