BENNY BENASSI This Saturday 24th Jan

January is usually a quiet Month in the year though it seems like people are going out more than ever on a Saturday Night. At Red Rooms anyway that can be put down to the Top Class International DJs that have graced the decks so far in 2009. We Kicked off this year with Micky Slim, then had Bart B More and Last week Radio 1’s Kissy Sell Out which was a storming night and January isn’t over yet. Next week we have D Ramirez but this weekend on Saturday Night Red Rooms welcome Grammy Award winning DJ & Remixer and all round legend SUPERSTAR DJ BENNY BENASSI.


Benny Benassi was born in Milan in 1967 and then grew up in the provincial town of Reggio Emilia, Italy. He started DJ-ing when he was still at school and has been producing with his cousin Alle Benassi for about ten years at Off Limits studios. His first as a producer was with the track "I feel so fine" by KMC feat. Dhany which went to n°1 in the UK club charts in 2001. The following year, working under the BENNY BENASSI presents THE BIZ trademark, Benny and Alle came up with "Satisfaction" and in one fell swoop ravaged the dancefloors and dominated sales charts round the world. Satisfaction is one of the worlds biggest ever Dance Tunes. Just type it into Youtube and there are nearly 2000 results of different versions and remixes. At some point every DJ on the Planet has sampled this tune and deservedly so as its a DANCE FLOOR MONSTER!!!!
The album “Hypnotica" followed. In the meantime Benny and Alle produced more melodic dance music under the Benassi Bros. banner. The charts of half the planet gave them thumbs up.

The Benassis have also remixed artists such as Outkast, David Guetta, Moby, Goldfrapp, Paul Oakenfold, Faithless and Public Enemy, to name but a few.
Benny has won tons of prizes and awards around the world and continues to tour the five continents with his unique style, once described as "electro, sort of house-tec, dirty and cool, sweaty and smooth".
In 2008 Benny and Alle won a Grammy Award for his remix of Public Enemy’s “Bring the noise”.

The new album “Rock n Rave” contains tracks featuring Black Box, Farenheit, Dino Lenny, Mia J, Public Enemy, Channing and Iggy Pop.
His own productions are released through Energy Productions in Italy and Ultra in U.S.A. At the same time, Benny talent scouts for his own brand new label, Pump-kin, designed to create space for young djs and producers of electronic club music.

Benny is currently touring to Promote his New Toolroom Knights Mix album and judging by the interest since his date at Red Rooms has been announced it seems this is going to be another mega night at “The Rooms”. Benny will be supported by DJ Tonisi and Red Rooms residents.
