Hailing from provincial Italy, world class DJ & producer Benny Benassi is a name needing little introduction but always deserving of wide admiration and acclaim.  Indulging in a career spanning fifteen plus years, Benassi is renown as a humble, authentic and charming character who has grown from club DJ to festival king to multi-million selling record producer taking success in his stride. Trademarking his unique infusion of house and electro with his global smash “Satisfaction” Benny has continued to create music which is a clear evolution of this signature sound but never deviating too far. 

There is no better place to start delving into the rich history of the Benassi career than with his international blockbuster, “Satisfaction” and its game-changing music video became his launch pad into stardom. Created with his cousin and producer, Alle Benassi, and inspired by the car horns outside an open street facing window, this single catapulted into the charts with a #1 in France, #2 in the UK and Germany. Followed by his debut album Hypnotica, which reached top 20 across nearly all parts of Europe within the first month of release. 

The next few years for Benny were a culmination of successes, whether it be the major festivals he went on the play (Coachella, EDC, Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland to name a few) or his next artist album, Rock N Rave in 2008. The same year he won a Grammy Award for his ground breaking remix of Public Enemy “Bring The Noise” further catapulting the Benassi name into stardom. 

In 2011, Benny teamed up with a star-studded album cast for his album Electroman which featured T-Pain, Kelis, Jean-Baptsiste and Apl.de.ap amongst others and most famously Gary Go with his chart-topping single “Cinema”.  The Skrillex remix of “Cinema” not only went Gold in the US and platinum in Australia and Canada but won the Benassi’s another Grammy whilst holding firm in the iTunes top 10 dance chart for over 6 months. 

Still on this exceptional career high, Benny Benassi combined talents with Chris Brown to create one of the biggest cross-over dance records of its time with “Beautiful People”. The following years have been a measure of incredible world tours and releases, most notably his record “Dance The Pain Away” with John Legend, which premiered live on stage at Coachella with John himself. 

2016 saw Benny released his first album in five years Danceaholic, an unexpected, stunning cocktail of already released tracks, two unreleased reworks of older singles and brand new songs, led by the hit summer anthem “Paradise”, once again with Chris Brown. “Paradise” stayed in the Top 50 UK charts for 10 weeks and boasts more than 65 million video views and close to 47 million Spotify streams. 

In recent years, Benny's main releases include “Everybody Needs A Kiss” featured US duo Sofi Tukker racking up over 10 millions streams online and was featured as the sound of gay pride for Musica.ly, "Lonely Nights" featuring Lil Yachty, interspersed with two great house-oriented tracks, "Inside" with Chris Nasty, performing well in clubs and on streaming platforms and "Everybody Hates Monday Mornings" with his own production outfit, BB Team, and featuring the eccentric and charismatic YouTuber, Canguro English.

Beyond his own productions he brought his sound to a wider musical audience with a flurry of high-profile remixes with the likes of Bob Marley & The Wailers, Giorgio Moroder, Madonna, Sean Paul and the Rolling Stones, to name but a few; whilst maintaining a weekly radio show on the US heavy-weight iHeart Radio broadcasting to a staggering quarter of a billion listeners monthly.

Hardly any other producer managed to position himself on top of the world’s DJ Elite in such a short amount of time and no one influenced the global electro- house sound as Klaas. By doing remixes for Dimitri Vegas, Guru Josh, Erick Morillo, Stromae, DJ Antoine, Klaas put himself onto the map. The foundation was laid with “Micha Moors – Space”. Klaas’ remixes became famous all over the world and weren’t just highly successful within the German Dance Charts and Beatport during several weeks, he was also supported by well-known DJs such as Tiesto, David Guetta and Moby.

The 2007 released Klaas single “The Way” was a great opportunity for him to show his diversity in production innovation in the electro house scene. It climbed from 0 to #2 of the German Dance Charts within the first week and stayed in top 10 for several weeks of all relevant dance charts.

Alongside his studio productions Klaas is touring around the world and has been almost everywhere. Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, U.S.A, Canada, Brazil, Russia, France, United Kingdom – the list seems infinite.

In spring of 2008 Klaas did it again. Not only his remixes of “Guru Josh’s- Infinity”, “Horny United – Crazy Paris”, and “G&G’s – My My My” cracked the top ten of the German Dance Charts, but the former also became a runaway hit, holding a top #4 placement on the German Single Charts for over 20 weeks. Producing the single resulted in Gold, Silver and Platinum records not only in Germany, but also in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Norway. The official music video clocks over 65.000.000 views on YouTube, making it one of the most watched videos worldwide.

The ensuing release “Klaas meets Haddaway – What Is Love 2K9” stormed the top 10 of numerous Dance Charts, and even the follow up single “Our Own Way” made it to the top 10 in France.
!In collaboration with the Bodybangers he landed two more hit singles „Freak“ and „I Like“ which made it not just to the top of all Dance Charts, but also to the German and Austrian Single Charts. Furthermore both of the official music videos clocked over 10 million views on YouTube.

After he released series of sensational intrumental EPs like "Wild Beast" he strikes in 2013 again with the hit-singles “Hold This Moment”, “Flight To Paris, "Night To Remember" and "Heartbeat". Klaas also generates buzz with his remix of R.I.O.’s (feat. U-Jean) summer hit “Ready Or Not”. 

With his single “Party Like We’re Animals“, Klaas ties in with his long range of productions in February 2014.

Nearly in the end of 2014, Klaas has teamed up with the Swiss newcomer Mazza and presents us his single "Here We Go". Already in the first week, this track made it in the podcasts and sets of famous DJs: For example Hardwell was playing "Here We go" in his current podcast and Showtek played it at the „Tomorrow World“ festival. 
Additional support comes from DJs like Dimity Vegas & Like Mike, R3hab, Blasterjaxx, W&W, Mike Candys, Fedde Le Grand and David Guetta! So we can look forward to true EDM sound in Klaas´ special style!

After this huge success with Klaas´ new sound, Dimitri Vegas requested him to do the official remix for the world-renowned project "Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike feat. Wolfpack".
A few weeks later his single "Calavera" is reaching the top 4 of the German DJ Playlist and he is finishing his collaboration "Flash" with Mike Candys. 
After Klaas' new tracks such as "Why" and his rework of "Explode"  keep being supported by many big EDM top acts, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike requested again a collaboration. 
The famous "DVLM vs Klaas Edit" of "Cafe Del Mar" was released with a cool video on Smash The House Records.
