Sunset Protocol: Activated.

This is an exclusive set curated for Chasing Sun(Sets) — recorded live in Marbella and crafted by Benchek, a rising force in global Afro House.

Embark on a 1hr 20min sonic journey with Moroccan-born, Marbella-based artist Benchek, inaugurating Season II of Chasing Sun(Sets). This exclusive set, recorded live in Marbella, weaves Afro House rhythms, melodic textures, and ancestral influences into a tapestry of sound.  

Now based in the coastal paradise of Marbella, Spain, Benchek has cultivated a sound that transcends geographical boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in his Moroccan heritage. His artistic evolution has been marked by a deliberate migration across influential musical hubs—from the spiritual energy of Moroccan gatherings to the cosmopolitan nightlife of Paris, the ethereal sunset rituals of Mykonos, and the luxurious innovation of Dubai's scene. Each destination has added new dimensions to his musical vocabulary, creating a truly global perspective that resonates throughout his work.

Global Resonance
Benchek's artistic journey has taken him to prestigious venues across the globe, including the iconic Scorpios in Mykonos, Djoon in Paris, and exclusive events throughout Dubai. These performances have established him as a sought-after talent in underground circles, while collaborations with respected artists like THEMBA have further cemented his reputation among discerning listeners and industry insiders alike.
His releases on esteemed labels such as Scorpios Music and Armada Music showcase his dedication to blending cultural sounds with contemporary production techniques. Rather than flooding platforms with constant output, Benchek has chosen a path of quality over quantity, focusing on meaningful collaborations and releases that reflect his artistic integrity and vision
What makes Benchek's contribution to Chasing Sun(Sets) particularly significant is how it captures the project's core ethos: music as a universal language that transcends borders, ego, and noise. His set doesn't simply showcase technical skill—it demonstrates a profound understanding of music's power to create meaningful connection and collective experience, perfectly embodying the Chasing Sun(Sets) mantra that "togetherness is the frequency, music is the guide."     While he maintains a deliberately curated presence that prioritizes quality over visibility, this partnership represents an organic expansion of his artistic reach, connecting him with a community that shares his values and vision.

For those discovering Benchek through this collaboration, his Sunset Protocol set offers a perfect entry point into his musical world—a world where rhythm and melody serve as vehicles for emotional expression, cultural exchange, and collective transcendence. As both Benchek and Chasing Sun(Sets) continue their parallel journeys, this intersection of their paths creates a powerful resonance that amplifies their shared mission of unifying communities through intentional sound and ritualized experience.

I am Sam Beecroft

a deep house and melodic techno DJ & producer from the UK. My love of electronic music began at the age of 15 playing at any opportunity for friends at house parties.

By the age of 18 I ventured into the club scene with residencies at Gatecrasher, Mission and MiNT playing alongside some of the biggest names in the industry including Eric Prydz, Steve Lawler and Booka Shade. I then moved to London playing regularly at Ministry of Sound and EGG LDN.

More recently, I turned my attention to the studio producing melodic techno with influence from the likes of Adriatique, Solomun, Undercatt and Eric Prydz.

BIO:
Deckster SD fell in love with dance music at a young age. Captivated by the pulse of club culture, he grew up on the iconic sounds of legendary Dutch nightlife, shaped by regular visits to hotspots like Waakzaamheid, IT Amsterdam and the famed Roxy.

Driven by a deep addiction to music, he is constantly chasing fresh sounds and unexplored styles. His wide musical spectrum and relentless hunt for unconventional tracks shape a signature energy that’s unmistakably his own. Today, this passion also comes to life in his role as a resident DJ for Libertas Music Radio, where he showcases the finest in progressive house — and on stage, including returning to Amsterdam Dance Event once again in 2025.

For Deckster, it’s all about the joy of sharing music and creating vibe. His sets are rich in contrast and always evolving, blending progressive house with tech influences, organic grooves and the occasional breakbeat twist — never limited by the unwritten rules of genre. You’ll often hear warm melodic layers, deep basslines and tactile percussion steering the momentum, favoring hypnotic flow over explosive maximalism. His sound invites listeners into a journey: danceable, emotional and full of subtle detail.

At the core of his musical identity are organic and downtempo progressive rhythms, grounded in bold drums, warm basslines and earthy percussion. Expect expressive, hypnotic tunes that flow with warmth, depth and connection — crafted for both the dancefloor and the mind.
