'''Marco''' "'''Benny'''" '''Benassi''' ({{IPA|it|ˈmarko ˈbɛnni beˈnassi}}; born 13 July 1967) is an Italian DJ and music producer. He is widely seen as a pioneer of [[electro house]], a genre brought into the mainstream by his 2002 summer club hit "[[Satisfaction (Benny Benassi song)|Satisfaction]]".<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.noiseprn.com/2016/07/11/benny-benassi-new-album/|title=Benny Benassi Announces New Album|work=Noiseporn|access-date=2018-03-01|language=en-US|quote=The chart-topping track paved the way for Benassi's career and for what we know today as electro house.|archive-date=2018-03-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180301104140/http://www.noiseprn.com/2016/07/11/benny-benassi-new-album/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
'''Marco Benassi''', better known as '''Benny Benassi''' (born Marco Benassi Geneser in [[Milan]], on [[July 13th]], [[1967]]) is an Italian [[disc jockey]] and a [[House music|euro house]]/[[electroclash]] artist, who lives in [[Reggio Emilia]], a town in the [[Emilia-Romagna]] region of [[Italy]]. He is of [[Italian]] and [[Denmark|Danish]] parentage, his danish parentage comes from the Geneser family.
 
He started his career as DJ along with his cousin [[Alle Benassi|Alessandro "Alle" Benassi]], forming the electronica duo [[Benassi Bros.]] Although he began to gain popularity with his pseudonym in 1997 by releasing the song "Electric Flying", his first international hit was "I Feel So Fine", launched in 2001 under the nickname KMC.
==Music Career==
He usually works in studio with cousin '''[[Alle Benassi]]'''. The two also produce tracks together under the name '''Benassi Bros'''. The duo started DJing in the late 80s in their hometown, before moving to [[Larry Pignagnoli]]'s Off Limits production studio in the mid 90s, creating music for various acts, including [[Whigfield]], J.K. and Ally & Jo.
 
In 2003, Benassi released his first solo debut album, ''[[Hypnotica (Benny Benassi album)|Hypnotica]]'', to positive reviews. Known as a pioneer album for electro-house, it incorporates electroclash sounds, many elements of house music and MacInTalk voices, and won the [[European Border Breakers Award]]. The following year, the debut album of the Benassi Bros., ''[[Pumphonia]]'', was released. Their track "Illusion" became very popular in the American club scene, finally peaking at number 4 on [[Hot Dance Club Play]]. Following "Hit My Heart" peaked at 15.
His first big international hit was "I Feel So Fine", released as '''KMC''' with vocals by [[Daniela Galli|Dhany]] in [[2001 in music|2001]]. After moving from eurohouse to electro, he had another successful hit single "Satisfaction" in [[2002 in music|2002]] and [[2004 in music|2004]]. This reached Number 2 in the [[UK Singles Chart]] after the [[Ministry of Sound]] record company replaced the original video (an almost still picture of the band overlayed with graphics) with a video of models using power tools. Some of his [[Single (music)|singles]] have charted high in the [[United Kingdom]] and have been played world-wide in [[Nightclub|clubs]]. Benassi also remixes the music of his contemporaries, such as [[DJ Tomcraft]] and [[Fischerspooner]].
 
In 2008, his remix of [[Public Enemy (band)|Public Enemy]]'s "[[Bring the Noise]]" won the [[Grammy Award]] for [[Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical|Best Remixed Recording]] at the [[50th Grammy Awards]]. In 2009, Benassi also entered the Top 100 DJs list from ''[[DJ Mag]]'' at #26,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.djmag.com/top100|title=DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs|work=[[DJ Mag]]|access-date=19 November 2009}}</ref> while in 2011 was rated #7 on DJ Poll Top 100 by ''DJ List'' web site.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.thedjlist.com/djs/ |title=DJ Directory: Rank: 1 to 50 &#124; the DJ List |access-date=2007-02-10 |archive-date=2015-12-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208192901/http://thedjlist.com/djs/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Recently, Benny created a record label known as [[Pump-Kin Music]]. The focus of the label is primarily new and unsigned producers. Through this venture, he hopes to give exposure to some of the lesser know DJ/production talent across the world.
