The first club hit was “I feel so fine” by KMC feat Dhany (N° 1 club charts UK) in 2001. This was followed by the BENNY BENASSI presents THE BIZ project, a ground-breaking mixtured of electro, techno and house dosed with minimalist flair.
The first single SATISFACTION, produced in 2002, made its presence felt in the main charts all over Europe in 2003. Some of the results:

Benny and Alle then produced Benassi Bros, a project designed to shine the spotlight on the two Biz vocalists, Paul French and Violeta and other guest singers.
The track by Benassi Bros. feat. Sandy, “Illusion” and “Hit my heart” featuring Dhany were both monster top 20 sales charts hits in France and the album, PUMPHONIA, went gold in France.

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….

I certainly hope that's the case. That song is to Benny Benassi as Call on Me is to Eric Prydz. |
