Legendary Grammy Award-winning producer/DJ, Benny Benassi is taking the stage at Marquee NY on December 7 Saturday night. The Italian DJ doesn’t need much of an introduction being one of the first pioneers to bridge together house and electro. Tickets are still available here.
Benassi’s rise to stardom began with the global smash ‘Satisfaction.’ This electro-house masterpiece, crafted with his cousin Alle Benassi, wasn’t just a hit – it was a game-changer. With its iconic car horn sample and electrifying energy, the track rocketed to #1 in France and the Top 3 in the UK and Germany, launching Benny into the spotlight. Even to this date, the song is played out by many DJ’s both in festival and club circuit. His debut album, Hypnotica, quickly followed, solidifying his position as a dance music powerhouse. Benny’s sound signature – a potent blend of house and electro – continued to evolve, captivating audiences worldwide. Coachella, EDC, Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland – these are just a few of the major festivals where Benny has dominated the stage.
In 2008, Benny’s groundbreaking remix of Public Enemy’s ‘Bring The Noise’ earned him a prestigious Grammy Award, further solidifying his name in the music world. Then in his 2011 album, Electroman, featured collaborations with A-list artists like T-Pain, Kelis, and Chris Brown. The chart-topping single ‘Cinema’ (featuring Gary Go) became a global phenomenon, receiving another Grammy and staying on the iTunes dance chart for more. Benny’s relentless pursuit of fresh sounds led to ‘Danceaholic,’ a 2016 album brimming with new tracks and reimagined classics. The summer anthem ‘Paradise’ (again with Chris Brown) took the world by storm, solidifying his crossover appeal.
Recent years have seen Benny exploring new avenues, collaborating with artists of all different genres. He continues to redefine the boundaries of dance music, showcasing his versatility as a producer, and this is evident in his live sets. From classics to more modern hits, he has dozens of tracks to use in his arsenal.
