**Riccardo Benigno – Sonic Architect & International Performer**

Riccardo Benigno is a genre-blending DJ, producer, and live performer whose immersive sets traverse the worlds of Afro house, electronica, deep house, breaks, and techno. Born in Johannesburg and based globally, Riccardo has spent over a decade sculpting soundscapes that fuse pulsating percussive grooves, filthy synth basslines, and hypnotic vocal textures.

A graduate of SAE Institute with a BA in Sound Production, Riccardo’s skillset extends far beyond the decks—he’s also a vocalist, synthesist, drummer, and label owner. As the creative force behind multiple aliases (including Themba, SearchingSilence, BeeziR, Bobby Be, efault, B.o.B and Goof) and co-founder of the progressive label and trio *SOUNDLANGUAGE*, his sonic identity is defined by innovation, authenticity, and raw musical energy.

Riccardo’s explosive performances have lit up stages from *Afrikaburn* to *Elrow Barcelona*, *Jungle Experience Thailand*, *VH1 Supersonic India*, and festivals across Colombia, Germany, Norway, Mozambique, and South Africa. He’s supported acts like *Four Tet*, *Stimming*, and *Boris Brejcha*, and has released music through renowned imprints including *Katermukke*, *Kalushi Recordings*, *Nomadiq Music*, and his own *Soundlanguage Records*.

Whether fronting bands like *Terrarium* and *Goof*, collaborating with global artists, or curating transformative DJ sets, Riccardo brings unmatched live energy and spontaneity. Expect a magnetic blend of live vocals, deep rhythmic layers, and technical finesse—every show a unique journey through sound.
