Ben Manson

For more than 25 years, Ben Manson has been a driving force in queer nightlife. Born and raised in Paris, the French DJ, producer and promoter has built a career dedicated to creating spaces where music, freedom and community collide. In 2015 he founded LESS DRAMA MORE TECHNO, later expanding his universe with TECHNOSTERONE, SWEAT and the label LDMT Records.

Behind the decks he crafts intense and immersive journeys where deep, hypnotic techno meets raw drums, post-industrial textures, groovy basslines and haunting melodies. His sound is both physical and mental: powerful yet sophisticated, dark yet emotional, always driven by a distinctive sense of rhythm and atmosphere.

He has taken that sound across Europe and beyond – Fuse in Brussels, Grelle Forelle in Vienna, KitKatClub and OST in Berlin, Blitz in Munich – sharing line-ups with Len Faki, Marcel Dettmann, Ellen Allien, Rødhåd, Freddy K and many more. Through his events and his label he continues to champion queer artists and connect people through uncompromising music.
