Werner Urban is a Dutch composer/producer of contemporary beats and soundtracks.

His musical signature is rooted in the late 80’s and 90’s hip hop and street-art movement. Attracted to the energy of ‘the beat’, Werner developed a style of music, which is strongly based upon rhythm. His interest in street-art culture and visual art in general is at the base of his passion for working cross media. It also triggers his sense for capturing ‘the unheard’: field recordings and dissected recordings of day-to-day sounds are part of his sound-pallet.

Werner studied Musicology, Audio-Engineering, Studio-Sound, Corporate Communication and Music Publishing. He runs Boombox, an alternative hip hop label and Raw, an urban production music label.
