About Hence
The project formed in 2023 after a meeting in Berlin between Knuth and music publisher/label head Daryl Bamonte. The project began as a “musical collective” built around modular-synth experimentation and rotating collaborators.
The debut single “Stuck In My Throat” appeared in 2024 on the newly formed Cosmic Cassettes label, followed by “I Woke Up In Northampton”, which later received a Maps remix. “Sex Dwarf” (2025) continues the collaborative model with Das Konductor on vocals and a remix by Aesthetic Perfection.
