From Tarndanya (Adelaide, South Australia), Bennie has spent the better part of the last 25 years digging deep into the sounds that move him - from jungle, dubstep and drum and bass to more soulful, downtempo selections. His mixes are often described as deep, hypnotic and warm - equally suited to heavy sound systems, late-night gatherings, or quiet moments of introspection.

His connection to music started early. After studying music at high school and playing in concert bands both here and in Japan during an exchange, Bennie stumbled upon jungle and drum and bass thanks to mixes his sister brought back from overseas. Back in the '90s, she also introduced him to the Cargo crew - a club known for blending jazz, funk, beats, and spoken word, all tied together by a love for good soul music.

Being part of the Rumble crew at Cargo - a monthly night that brought in fresh interstate and international drum and bass DJs - Bennie got to dive deeper into the scene. Time in Japan with the Delete crew expanded his musical horizons even further. When dubstep was just starting to take shape in 2001, he was there mixing sets and later worked alongside FTDF and Redline Dubstars from around 2007 to 2013, helping grow that movement.

Over 25 years of making music, Bennie's passion has stretched beyond just DJing - into production and visual arts - always pushing to explore new creative paths. Even through lockdown, he kept the music flowing, streaming with the Transmitting Live crew and pitching in at events whenever possible. Recently, he's been involved in collaborations at Ancient World alongside Wickid Lickwid and the Deeptank crew.

He's featured on radio also, making appearances on The Ones & Twos, Rollerz, The BassBin, and more.

This mix, made exclusively for Newy Bass Crew, is a snapshot from his wide-ranging collection - tracks that have stuck with him and that he's been drawn to over the years.

Thierry D has been quietly involved in Eora's (Sydney AU) underground scene for more than two decades now. He started out back in the late '90s when rave culture was really taking hold, and since then, he's been focused on making bass-heavy, broken beat music that speaks for itself. Over the years, he's been fortunate enough to have played a bunch of events that mean a lot to the local community including events hosted by Afterlife, Reload Bass, SHOOK and Deep Space Events as well as Psyfari in 2014 and 2015, Defqon.1 in 2014, and Subtropics Festival in both 2022 and 2023, among others. Back in 2013, he ran a radio show on Bondi Beach Radio, which gave him a platform to share music he believed in and connect with others in the scene.

In 2012, Thierry took a step further by founding The Elements Of Tech & Bass - which has evolved into both a label and an event series. It's been a project close to his heart, aimed at supporting and growing the underground bass community in Australia. Through that, and on other labels like Jungle Cakes, Audio Overload, Jungle Records, Division Bass Digital, Dubstomp 2 Bass, and Music For Change Recordings, Thierry's been able to release music that’s honest and straightforward.

What drives him is a genuine love for the sound itself - tracks that have weight, that hit hard in the chest, and that create real moments for people.
