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.

An occupant enhancement specialist is a person that renovates or remodels an industrial area so that it could accommodate a brand-new passenger. The renovation professional facilitates lessee shift, to puts it simply. Commonly the room being altered is part of a shopping center or some kind of shopping center, though it could belong to a company park if the expense of the renovation can be warranted.

The tenant enhancement service provider is normally under substantial time stress. Usually the former resident leaves instantly, perhaps without notice, and also the owners of the space need to rush to find a brand-new passenger. Depending on lease agreements, the proprietors may have to bypass income on the room till improvements are finished.

There is also pressure from the brand-new passenger, who is anxious to set up shop as well as unlock to clients. Decisions normally have to be made quickly, and also their lasting implications could be such that they at some point make or break the success of the enterprise.

Every one of these elements, taken together, suggest that the service provider utilized to do the job has to be responsive to customer needs, needs, and worries. He or she has to be knowledgeable at acknowledging core, often hidden, concerns and guiding the project in a manner to address them. In a feeling, the building specialist has to listen both to the consumer's straight as well as indirect interactions, not only to his speech but additionally to his body language.

The sea was angry that day my friends... The waves crashing in on the shoreline... The blazing hot sun beating down.  All of a sudden in the shallows, a huge seashell crashes into the sand... Another wave rolls in and smashes it against a giant log.  It bursts open... For a few seconds it was as if the world stopped... the anticipation of what could be inside this peculiar vessel, even made the birds flying by hold their breath. Then as the earth seems to start spinning again, like a phoenix from the flames, out of it rises the golden blonde hair of Russ Dawson.. Unsure of what he is, but much like Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1984’s hit Sci-Fi thriller, The Terminator... he knew he had a purpose.  After stealing the clothes off some hippy on the beach, An old guitar floats up to his feet.  He picks it up.  From the moment he strummed the old rusted strings on that ancient excalibur... His destiny was solidified. From that point on... he, nor the world would ever be the same.

Russ was Sonic 102.9's band of the month April 2014 and was nominated for 2 Edmonton music awards.  He has played some big festivals such as Boonstock, New Music West and Opensky Music Festival 2 years in a row.

Russ Dawson is the self proclaimed "Official Summer Time Band Of Edmonton".  At a show you will leave his merch booth with RD Sunglasses, RD Beach Towels and other fantastic summer time merch... not to mention a golden brown tan.

Well as you know we are 2 Unique (Burnz & Tripp) 
We are from Thibodaux Louisiana.We have been brothers since 12 years old.In 2012 we finally came up with the most describing name for us and 2unique was born.We came up with this name because there are two of us and we are unique in our own way.We both have very creative minds and and can put our stories together in the best way we can and thats through music,but we can also do it alone.We make several genres of music including hip-hop,rap,r&b and pop. We decided to start making music because we have our life stories to tell so people can relate and maybe make a change in their life by wisdom we speak.As we evolved lyrically we started to explore new topics and ways to approach music.Instead of talking about the same ole topic's that everyone raps about, our music is unique in the aspect that we can adapt to any genre.We can be real lyrical to the point you have to really think about what we say, to the simple, most- common topics in main stream music.Our music has a more layed back feel but we still like to get the people moving. We have had our music played in several clubs and had good results! We always have meaning in our music and nothing we make is just to say bs. on a beat! We take our time to perfect everything and sometimes we are never happy because everything can always be better.When we get in the studio our energy is one and  so much  to the point we end up writing the same things at times.
We have a big showcase of our music dating back to 04. Our first album was in 06 when we were in a group called "Da K.A.M.P.(kings always maintain power)   & the album was called "Pieces Of The Puzzle" mainly because when Burnz,Tripp and B.K came together we all fit together like pieces in a puzzle. In 08 Tripp and Burnz teamed up with J-Buck to do a mixtape called "3Headed Monstar".There where many hits on the tape but one inpaticular was "blowin 101". In 2011 Tripp and Killah teamed up to make "mixtape fever" all of witch where never really pushed..We have never had a manager or any authority figure so everything in promotion was done on our own locally.Now we have a bigger fan base,loyalties in different states and a in major up and coming website call www.YOMYG.COM that is based out of Staten Island N.Y. We are always meeting new people and making connects and we love to connect with EVERYONE.We have done one live show, but it was rushed so we weren't really happy with it.When we were younger we would rap at parties and in class so we definitely know how to move the crowd, we are just waiting for the right opportunity to light up the stage!
-We have a facebook music page,soundcloud page, a youtube account and of course a datpiff account.We use these to interact with a bigger audience to keep intouch with fans and to let everyone know whats next from 2Unique. (links below)

Our present musical goals are to get people to actually start listen to the music,doing more live events and traveling.We are also going to be starting a new album and plan to finish before 2014.Our long term goals or to become big in the underground scene and leave an impact! And  we really wouldn't want to be main stream because we love our creative freedom,we would have to hold back too much in the industry. We want to be that person that writes a lyric that can possible change someones life and help them get threw their hard times. We decide to make this mixtape because we got tired of all that fource fed music that everyone is so drawn to these days so we wanted to take some of that and put our own twist to it and also make full original songs just to do it!We LOVE to get high and make music.
A little more info on seperate members:
-BURNZ was born Nov. 11, 1990 in Thibodaux La.and grew up in the streets of Schiever La. He self ploclaimed his name to be Burnz because the first part of his last name is burn,add a z and it explains that any music he puts his mind too he sets in on fire! He was the oldest of three boy's and also has two sisters. His parents loved music! His dad was into Rock and his mom loved hip-hop,r&b and soul.His mom would always sing to him so he picked it up real quick and started singing everything he heard. When he was about 9 he found out that most of his family was musically gifted witch mad him love music even more! When he was 10 years old his parents devorced and everything changed. He started acking out and getting into trouble. He found out his cousin rapped and he was intreaged by what he heard.He only really sang most of his life so rapping was a whole new exsperience. So in 2002 him,his mom and brothers move to North Thibodaux and things got crazy. His mom was always working and chasing after her boyfriend,she had no time for her kids. So he was always left home with his two brothers to look after. He started getting into drugs and started selling to make exrta money. In the process he me Tripp.they were both into creative thinking in music and art so once he heard Tripp rap he knew he had to step it up. As he would go threw his struggles he would make music to take him out of it. With help from his friends they would use their artistic visions to bring others together from groups such as D.S.G & Da K.A.M.P. As their tallents grew him and Tripp where the only two who kept pushing so they became 2Unique. Now he is 22 with 2 wonderful kids and looking to share his message with the world and use his creative mind to influence other. Solo songs by Burnz below

-TRIPP was born Aug. 1, 1990.Grew up in the streets of Thibodaux La .Came from a broken home,dad ran out mom raised him and his sister.he never did well in school and and got into alot of trouble as a teenager.At age 14 he was arrested on numerous marijuana charges and went to rehab & juvie/jail numerous times.He always had to learn the hard way and started learning his lessons. Being locked up made him miss his music most of all so he  GREW UP and decided to make a change.He started working and investing in his arts. He has drawn since before he can remeber,started writing music at age 9,started making beats at age 14 and started producing at age 15. He never had a brother so when he met Burnz they had similar beliefes in music and they start working together on songs.He self proclaimed his name to be Tripp because he has 3 j's in his full name and because he is a trip with music and his personality.This is the rapping aspect of him..His "alter ego" you can say is Jaez,the producing aspect of him. Once again because of all the j's in his name. This is the more mellow chilled out and creative person. In 05 he was asked to join a group called D.S.G. witch made a few hit singles but one most people remember from back then was a song called "Iced Out" that featured Tripp,Killak Kill and B.K. but differences between the group drove them apart so thats when "Da K.A.M.P." was formed. We also made several hit songs and the songs most people loved was "Back It Up" "Keep Your Head up" "Why My People Gotta Die" "Gutta Girl" and more! He started tattooing at age 19 & it is his current proffession now.In 2010 he moved to Baton Rouge and got a broader view of his surroundings,but didnt do music for a year.Not a lyric,not a beat..nothing was on his mind,but money. When he moved back to Thibodaux in 2011, J-Buck asked him to get on a track and it was the fuel to the fire! Ever since then he has been making music nearly everyday,beats mostly. To be a producer his his life long goal! Later in 2011 he had the opportunity to fly out to N.Y. and it was taken. Hurricane Irene just so happened to follow them there and canceled all the events that they were going to.Instead he sat in the studio during the storm and had some of the best energy with people from 2000 miles away and made some great music and received alot of insight. Later that year he lost all of his new music they had been working on and had to start from scratch.Started getting back on track then then lost it all again! Now they are back in business and they have been making music ever since. "Optimism is key" he always say's. Tripp is working on his first solo album so definitely be on the look out for his own variety of music.The first single from that album is called "Here" (link below)

Their Music:
Is like your favourite 80's horror and spy  B movies, Quentin Tarantino, Elvis, an android, a drunk Mexican, a dose of dark humour, Sci-fi and anti-hero comics, and a bunch of new and vintage audio gear in a sonic blender and hitting the 'SMOOTHIE' button... It's crazy!... but FRESH!

Their attitude:
Is inventive, crazy, thoughtful, fun, electric and analogue. The cool side of the dark side… Original!

Their vision: 
Is to conquer the world and spread cool vibes over the zombies that ´need awakening´ for a musical existence… Basically, play in the world´s hot spots for good crowds that are willing to be introduced to something exciting and different.

Their Randevouz:
They met at a sushi restaurant. They were introduced by their mutual friend Pepito Grillo, who was convinced they had to unite their forces to “create”. He was right! A month and a half later they had accomplished their first EP “Be At Risk” that Wagon Repair received with their arms wide open and that achieved the “Top Tune” status awarded by IDJ magazine. Their collaboration proved to be worthy not only because of their accomplishments but because they share a vision of music and they have the extraordinary skill of being able to have fun whilst they work hard making it.
