All the way from Springfield, Illinois USA, and likely on hiatus since 2008, it's Aaron "Obin" Russell, Heather "Nubar" Russell, and Timothy Donavan "Goat" Russell, plus the occasional guest. We were crazy, and indeed we still are.

Benu's journey to DJ'ing began in the late 1980's as a hip hop dancer and early electro, rap, and Miami Bass fan.  In 1990, After being spotted dancing, Benu was invited to join a private rave club in the U.S. that regularly hosted internationally renowned DJ's including Sasha and John Digweed.  This marked the beginning of a lifelong passion for rave culture, club dancing and underground electronic music.  Those early musical influences can be heard in Benu's cross-genre high vibration sets with tracks from Indie dance, melodic house, organic house, minimal techno, progressive house, and tech house, amongst others.  Benu's sets are meant to inspire you to not only move your body, but to feed your soul and inspire an exploration of the innate dualities and tensions that exist within all of us, such as logic vs emotion, human vs machine,  intensity vs calm, destruction vs creation.  Self-actualization and enlightenment exist in the space where synthesis of these dualities takes place.  Benu’s sets aim to inspire and cultivate this synthesis,  for listeners and dancers alike.

LeftCtrl —(also known as PolyGroovers, or DJ Zeel, real name: Konstantin Gredeskoul) started DJ-ing in the Bay Area in 1998, having been inspired and encouraged by @djethan Ethan Miller (FnF, BrassTax) among others. 

Konstantin produces downtempo music as PolyGroovers, (see https://soundcloud.com/polygroovers for more information).

Starting with the underground rave parties where he threw down Detroit Techno on vinyl, LeftCtrl played all over the Bay Area, with additional appearances in the UK, Spain, and Australia. 

He collaborated with @kem, Captain Tinrib, @henry-navarro and many more.

LeftCtrl's DJ sets feature a storyline, harmonic depth, and a smooth and deep, melodic, nearly always syncopated and groovy sound. Konstantin is an obsessively technical mixer, who admits to the most anal-retentive pitch-matching of the mixes, resulting in some of his entire sets played in the same key.

Since about. 2020, LeftCtrl refocused on the composition and production of tracks for the dance floor: house, progressive, and many genre bending tracks. Currently collecting sufficient portfolio for the upcoming releases in yet to be determined label.

I'm a Marvel, a spectacle. Watch me be me and never envy you..
