About

Juno Reactor is a British electronic music project founded in 1990 by Ben Watkins, built around a fluid, ever-changing ensemble of musicians from across the world. The project pioneered the Goa trance sound - Watkins' 1993 debut album Transmissions is widely credited as the first full trance artist album - and went on to forge a signature style that weaves psychedelic trance, tribal percussion, industrial textures and orchestral scoring into something distinctly cinematic. Beyond the dancefloor, Juno Reactor became known to millions through film: Watkins co-wrote key sequences of The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions with composer Don Davis, and contributed music to Mortal Kombat and Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
