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.
His first big international hit was I Feel So Fine, released as KMC with vocals by Dhany in 2001. After moving from eurohouse to electro, he had another successful hit single "Satisfaction" in 2003 and 2004. This reached Number 2 on the OCC UK Top 75 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 singles have charted high in the United Kingdom and have been played world-wide in clubs. Benassi also remixes the music of his contemporaries, such as DJ Tomcraft and Fischerspooner.
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 known DJ/production talent across the world.
Control
Benny Benassi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping to find a miracle in the meltdown
All the loving chaos that I'm surround
I dance dance to take me off the ground ground
I've been closing my eyes so I can see you
trying to make every other lover be you
Hoping that my fantasies will come true
Hey, yeah, lift my emotion
Tonight, my heart is open
Let go, there's no confusion
Control is an illusion
Control is an illusion
Whoo
Control is an illusion
I can't own ya love
I can't own your love
I gotta let it go in the night sky
When I look above
When I look above
I see it shining, I'll feel so alive
Ready to let love back into my soul
In the beauty, in the music, it's time to lose control of control
Hey, yeah, lift my emotion
Tonight, my heart is open
Let go, there's no confusion
Control is an illusion
Hey, yeah, lift my emotion
Tonight, my heart is open
Let go, there's no confusion
Control is an illusion
Control, control
Control, control
