After the #2 chart success of his seismic speaker rumbling anthem "Satisfaction" Italian dj/producer Benny Benassi is set to surprise some critics with an album that is packed to the brim with more ear shattering, bowel-moving basslines than you'll know what to do with. Benassi hails from Reggio Emilia, a lovely Italian village about 100km south of Milan and produces with cousin Alle, who is a musician and arranger at Off Limits, the production unit run by Larry Pignagnoli. Mr Benassi 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 DJs feeling it too."
