LIVE RECORDING: Bennet @ Body Language 12.08.23 

Bennet made their Body Language debut on 12.08, serving up an all-vinyl masterclass in the Queer and joyful roots of rave! 

Picture this: it’s 5:30 in the morning and you’re on a sexy, sweaty Body Language dancefloor. The crowd is a sea of smiles, and the dancefloor is literally dripping from the heat of the moment as Bennet traverses through oldskool house, early progressive house and trance, breaks, and early rave hymns. 

—
Rooted in Hannover’s local scene, Bennet is part of the DJ-collective soft spot, co-founded the party series Buttercup and holds a residency at Weltspiele.

Bennet started mixing their favorite vinyls during lockdown, seeking for affects and energetic repercussions of the imaginative dance floor. Going all across the board, they always recur to the dancefloor’s utopian notions of togetherness and unity and political dimensions of the body.

Title: 'Eat Those Plates'

About you: 
 131bpm: "Constantly evolving musically, he is making a name for himself as a DJ and producer known for his signature booty boppin’ and back breaking rhythms. Influenced by various electronic music sub-genres like vocal house, Detroit classic electro-breaks, 90s progressive and Latin music, his sets are always sweaty and sexy, scattered with catchy basslines, nasty vocals and bouncy percussions. He became resident at the party Vitamina in Milan in 2018. He recently released his first album on Body Language’s label - party in Berlin where he is also a resident playing regularly since 2022."

A track/record of your choice that means a lot to you and, if you feel like sharing, why: 
131bpm: „It's always hard for me to chose a specific record or artist since I'm constantly digging for new music, but I've recently been playing "I Want You Back" by X-Press 2 a lot. It's such a sexy track, starting very emotionally and mysterious, with very sultry vocals, and progressing more and more into someting tribal and ecstatic.“

Buttercup 008 – 'Eat Those Plates’ / 131bpm b2b Bennet

Live recording of the full three-hour opening set at Job's Strangelove party at ELSE, Berlin, in late August, 2024.

I started on a deeper, dubbier note and slowly but steadily tapped into more energetic selections to build things up with a few classic cuts sprinkled in here and there.

Thanks for having me! <3
