Description

"The fashionable, fun, and sometimes freaky sound of DJ/producer Benny Benassi first hit the dancefloor in 2001 with the single I Feel So Fine. Released under the name KMC, the track first stormed the charts in Benassi's native Italy, but soon became a number one hit in the U.K. The electro-meets-house "Satisfaction" took Benassi's success worldwide a year later with high-profile DJs like Carl Cox, Darren Emerson, and Roger Sanchez singing its praises. Remixes for OutKast, Goldfrapp, and Felix da Housecat followed, and Benny soon formed the Benassi Bros. with his cousin Alle Benassi." - all music guide

FRENCHY LE FREAK BIOGRAPHY:
Frenchy le Freak’s career behind the turntables has spun over the last 16 years, and took him from his home in sunny French Toulouse to San Francisco. Frenchy’s obsession with music began at an early age when he started spinning at 13, being influenced by rock, reggae and 70s funk. He got his first big break filling in for a drunk DJ at a local club and never looked back. In his younger years being a man with a diverse collection of records in his DJ crates, Frenchy has played a mix of house, hip-hop, reggae and Latin flavored beats – an undoubtable influence from his days in New Caledonia. A few years later, Frenchy has had the opportunity to start an all-house night as a resident of “Le Saint-Barth” in France, which became an instant hit and switching him up to an all-house DJ.
