Dutch electronic producer Colin Benders, best known for his genre‑blurring modular synth work and as the founder of the Kyteman Orchestra, arrives in Dublin this autumn for a one‑night performance at Wigwam Club on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
Born in Utrecht in 1986, Benders first gained recognition in the jazz‑hip hop and orchestral crossover scenes. Under the moniker Kyteman, he spearheaded The Kyteman Orchestra, combining rich brass arrangements with hip hop and electronic elements. In more recent years, he’s established a reputation as a modular synthesizer pioneer, combining melody, rhythmic complexity, and experimental textures into his live sets.
Located at 54 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1, Wigwam is a renowned cultural hub that hosts everything from drag brunches and trivia nights to curated club nights after 10 pm. In early September, it transforms into a hotbed for electronic music with its underground basement space tailored for bass‑heavy, immersive events. The Subject x Research series fits precisely into this ethos – intimate, bold, experimental, and rooted in the city’s growing alternative club scene
This isn’t a DJ set: Benders manipulates hardware in real time, creating one‑of‑a‑kind compositions on stage. Benders’s live sets are notoriously unpredictable and dynamic. Expect a musical journey built from hands‑on modulation of oscillators, rhythms, and effects – a performance that pushes the envelope of what a UK crowd is accustomed to. His sound merges influences from techno, IDM, and avant‑garde electronic music, always guided by his classical and orchestral background.
With a unique style ranging through orchestral jazz‑hip hop to Berlin‑style modular techno, Benders’s Wigwam debut is set to be one of Dublin’s standout electronic nights of 2025. Whether you’re a modular fan or a regular club goer seeking something different, this live performance promises to push boundaries and provide a massive audio‑visual experience.
This is a highly curated, underground event and opportunities to see an artist like this again in the UK are few and far between. Doors open at 11 pm and close in the early hours – perfect for night‑owls and fans of heavy electronic sounds.
Tickets are available via Eventbrite and Resident Advisor.
