GROOVE CHRONICLES #15

Since his early years Benny had a close and intimate relation with music: his mother worked at the A&R department of a major record label and his father is an important music reviewer in Portugal. Both of them have always provided an environment at home which led to a profound interest and subsequent knowledge in the field. With the passing of time his interest focused in electronic music in general, and then, more specifically in House and Techno genres, that in the end made him discover a huge passion: deejaying. Since then that passion didn’t stop growing. He made up his mind and realized that was the path he’d like to follow and acquired all the necessary set up in order to start practicing mixing. A short time afterwards that passion produced effects and he was invited to play the warm-up session in a Lisbon After Hours Party. His set goes well and the crowded house reaction was so positive that one of the resident DJs at Alcântara Club (formerly known by the name of Alcântara Mar, a mythical club in Lisbon and European wise) decided to invite him for further performances. Benny started this way being a regular presence in the Lisbon night, catching everyone with his House selection and, at the same time, gaining lots of experience. In 2012 he also starts producing his own original tracks, remixes and collaborations under the name "Groovefella". You can find his tracks on the major digital stores under labels such as  I Bounce Records, Plastik Galaxy, To Be Records, Grey City Records, among several others. Production is here to stay. Specially in the Lisbon scene, he has shared the DJ booth with names such as Phill Kay, Pedro Diaz, Luís Leite, Adriano Magone, The Slum Vagabunds, DJ Nox, Jesus del Campo, Andres Campo, George Morel, Mendo, Pig & Dan, Nathan Barato, Dj Jiggy, Deborah de Luca, Jay Lumen, Christian Sims, Carlos Fauvrelle, Miss Sheila, Aruzda, among others, performing at several clubs and private parties. Groovefella can be heard mainly in Portugal, where he continues to show us his energy and musically powerful DJ sets.
