Hakka Drums II continues B E N N’s exploration of ritualistic percussion and cultural resonance, weaving samples of Taiwanese temple music, Hakka drumming traditions, and electronic rhythmic structures into a dense, cinematic landscape.

Across three tracks, the EP oscillates between trance-like repetition and sonic disintegration—transforming traditional rhythmic motifs into fractured, breathing organisms. The project channels a primal, almost animistic energy, where each drum hit feels like an invocation, and each silence, a moment of reflection.

The Hakka Drums series serves as an ongoing dialogue between ancestral sound and modern rhythm—reimagining the Hakka cultural identity through contemporary electronic production.
In Hakka Drums II, B E N N deepens this dialogue, using sampled ritual sounds, percussive layering, and spatial manipulations to evoke notions of ceremony, procession, and decay.
Each composition unfolds like a ceremony: immersive, fragmented, yet profoundly physical.
