Strother Benson, aka SLOTR is a songwriter/producer living in Oakland, California. He enjoys nothing more than to kick up his pennyloafers and obsessively craft elastic basslines layered with veils of zen simplicity. (Yung) Slotr began playing keyboards from a very early age. After years of extensive classical foundation, he moved in with master jazz organist John Mackay, where he undertook rigorous musical training that solidified his grasp of theory and structure. Reuniting with his old friend and veteran producer Dnae Beats, they began to collaborate on music and ideas for the future. Through a series of experiments and meetings, Strother realized his true calling was to combine his passion for technology, light and sound to create transformative experiences that relentlessly aim to deepen your palette of color and vibration. As a collaborator on many of Dnae’s albums, and commander of self-crafted visuals and 3d animations, Slotr had been invited to share stages with many talented artists including Gift of Gab from Blackalicious, SPL, Silkie, XI, Kastle and many more. Through this musical baptism and perpetual evolution, yung Slotr has once again stepped out of the shadows to deliver wide payloads of bass interlaced with sweeping clusters of harmony.
