SEVEN’s Distribution & Logistics superstar Ben Reymann was interviewed by our friends at Hinterhaus magazine this week – and it’s a brilliant read.In the feature, titled “I Chose Fun: Ben Reymann is the Nice Guy DJ You Need to Meet”, Ben opens up about his life, music and creative values – and reminds us why we love working with him.
It’s a great interview where he talks about growing up in Berlin, getting into music through curiosity rather than a masterplan, and how he ended up with a modular synth setup that’s as much about play as it is performance. Ben’s warmth and lack of ego really shine through in the conversation – he doesn’t take himself too seriously, but he does take the music seriously. And it shows.
He shares stories about early gigs, why running his own label Rhythm Werk gives him creative freedom, and how he balances DJing, production and working full-time behind the scenes here at SEVEN. There’s a lovely bit where he talks about helping launch other artists, and how he values community over competition – it’s classic Ben.
We also get to hear about his approach to modular synths – how he started experimenting, the thrill of discovering happy accidents, and why he enjoys building complex live sets that feel human and alive. If you’re into gear, you’ll enjoy this part. If you’re not, don’t worry – it’s explained in a way that still feels fun and accessible.
There’s also some insight into his upcoming projects, including new music, more Rhythm Werk releases and live shows in Berlin and beyond. He name-drops a few influences, some SEVEN family, and talks about his love for emotional club music that’s “a little bit melancholic but with energy and groove.”

The article makes it clear: Ben’s not chasing fame or hype – he’s in this because he loves it. And that’s exactly what makes him so good. Whether he’s behind the decks, soldering a new synth module, or helping us at SEVEN plan a new release, Ben always brings kindness, curiosity, and creativity to everything he does.
We’re proud to have him on our roster, and even prouder to see his thoughtful approach to music and community being recognised.
