BENNY BENASSI, ITALY - www.bennybenassi.com

Benny Benassi hails from Reggio Emilia, an Italian village about 100km south of Milan and produces with cousin Alle, who is a musician and arranger at Off Limits with the production studio run by Larry Pignagnoli.

Benny 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 DJ’s feeling it too.”

When Benny isn’t in the studio, he tours the world rocking clubs and events with his unstoppable energy. His DJ style is easy to describe…. it’s kinda electro, sort of house-tec, dirty and cool, sweaty and smooth… Just the way we like our main rooms! Twisted is excited to welcome Benny Benassi to play his first set at an all night show that we couldn’t call anything else but SATISFACTION!

And... electronic music legends:


TECHNOTRONIC
Technotronic was the restless offspring of innovative Belgian producer Jo Bogaert (a.k.a. Thomas De Quincy). He had already made his mark on the "Eurobeat" with various high-profile dance concepts such as "Nux Nemo" and "Acts of Mad-men". The first public face of Technotronic was a "blue lipped" pouting temptress known as Felly, a renowned fashion-model. It wasn't until the second single "Get Up" that the public saw and heard Manuela Kamosi, or Ya Kid K, for the first time. She had already performed the original vocal on "Pump up the Jam" and now finally the world could bear witness to her strutting deliverance of "Get Up". By the end of 1990 "Pump Up The Jam" had reached pole position in the "Billboard 12" singles dance chart. The last significant chart success was in 1992 when "Move That Body" peaked at No.5 in the U.S. Billboard charts. Up until now Technotronic have retailed more than 14 million albums.
