Having recieved radio support from Jo Whiley, Dave Pearce (Record of the Week), Colin Murray and Zoe Ball ‘Satisfaction’ is being hailed as this summer’s Zombie Nation.
Benny hails from Reggio Emilia, a lovely Italian village about 100km south of Milan and produces with cousin Alle, who is a musician and arranger at Off Limits, the production unit run by Larry Pignagnoli.
Mr Benassi was a massive fan of the eighties electro scene, inspiration from acts like Kraftwerk and artists such as Giorgio Moroder. “When I began my DJ career,” he explains, “I was a massive fan of 80’s electronica, and it’s great to see that sound becoming so popular again. Clubbing was becoming a bit tired but now the dance floors are full of energy again. Everywhere I play ‘Satisfaction’ the reaction is crazy and it’s great to see such a wide range of other DJs feeling it too.”
