​​ "From the early nineties, Ben Watkins has brought the world a culture clash of sonic textures that defies the world fusion."

Rudy Koppl (Music from the Movies)

Composer, producer, musician, and performer Ben Watkins has spent more than three decades pushing the boundaries of electronic music. As the creative force behind Juno Reactor, Watkins has pioneered a sound that fuses electronica, orchestral arrangements, cinematic scoring, and global influences into something vast, immersive, and unmistakably his own.

​

Juno Reactor’s music has reached millions through both the stage and the screen. Watkins’ work includes acclaimed albums and groundbreaking live shows, as well as contributions to some of the most iconic film soundtracks of the modern era. His music powered key moments in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, and he composed the full orchestral score for the Japanese anime feature Brave Story. Juno Reactor’s tracks continue to be featured across films, television, and games worldwide.

​

While Watkins thrives on recording and live performance, he describes his greatest passion as composing to picture, where his expansive soundscapes and symphonic approach can unfold with cinematic power.

​

Live, Juno Reactor is an experience unlike any other. Over the years, the project has become known for epic, multi-sensory performances that bring together music, dance, and visual storytelling on a global stage. Highlights include appearances at Burning Man (USA), Glastonbury (UK), Roskilde (Denmark), Fuji Rock (Japan), Boom (Portugal), Ozora (Hungary), Summer Sonic (Japan), BoomTown Fair (UK), and countless more.
