Blanck Mass

Blanck Mass is the solo moniker of Benjamin John Power, a pivotal figure in British experimental electronics and a founding member of Fuck Buttons. Since debuting in 2011, the project has evolved from the pastoral, expansive drone of its self-titled debut into a much more aggressive, rhythmic, and maximalist beast.

Power's work is characterized by a 'body horror' aesthetic, particularly on albums like 'Dumb Flesh', where he explores the fallibility of the human form through mangled samples and corrosive synthesis. His sound identity is defined by high-contrast dynamics, where abrasive industrial textures suddenly give way to moments of profound, cinematic euphoria. Culturally, he occupies a unique space between the avant-garde noise scene and the broader electronic world, having toured with artists like Sigur Ros and produced scores for major films. His influence is seen in the 'deconstructed club' movement and modern industrial techno, where his technique of using hyper-processed vocals as melodic leads has become a signature trope. Critical consensus views him as a master of 'beautiful noise', capable of making extreme sonic density feel emotionally accessible and deeply human.
