The mood is deep melodic techno, with echoes of soulful voices on the chorus shortly brushing up against the pounding bassline arpeggio and shimmering hi-hats. A distorted, minimalist trance theme rises neatly from the breakdown, delivering a powerful yet subtle crescendo—which is how you might sum up this superb piece in its entirety.
About Benny Benassi
Benny Benassi is one of the most successful and influential record producers and DJs of all time, with a career spanning more than two decades. Satisfaction, his major crossover song released in 2002, was his rocket to success. This famous, ground-breaking, genre-defining piece opened the way for his debut album, Hypnotica, which gained him the title of European Border Breaker Award, for the largest record sales by an Italian artist outside Italy, among numerous other distinctions.
His next album, Rock N Rave, was released in 2008, he went on to win a Grammy for his remix of Public Enemy’s Bring The Noise, one of the first recordings to combine European electro-house beats with American hiphop vocals, solidifying his status as a trailblazing pioneer of the commercial electronic music scene. In 2011, he released Electroman, his critically praised third album.
Benny created history once more when he discovered a young and undiscovered artist named Skrillex, whom he engaged to remix Cinema and effectively bring dubstep into the public. The remix received another Grammy Award and lasted on the Top 40 rankings for four years in a row.
This artist has since headlined some of the world’s largest festivals. As his reputation rose, he collaborated with Madonna to produce the hit Girl Gone Wild, as well as other tunes on the MDNA album. There is also a lengthy, rich list of other A-list musicians with whom Benny has cooperated to appear on his songs.
