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.
Put Your Hands Up
Benny Benassi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like rolling on my feet
So people listen to the sound
Round round round round round
Put your hands up
Oh, yeah put your hands up
Yeah yeah
My satisfaction is complete
I keep on rolling on my feet
Just put your hands up to the sound
And turn around round round
Put your hands up
One two three four, one two three four
oh, yeah ah ah
yeah yeah
I like shaking all my body
Down to the beat
Relax my mind rolling down
On my feet
People put your hands up
When you hear the sound
People scream scream
Put your hands up
The lyrics to Benny Benassi's song Put Your Hands Up expresses the desire to lose oneself in the music and dance spontaneously, without any inhibitions. The first two lines of the song, "I'm shaking slowly to the beat, I like rolling on my feet" sets the tone of the song. The singer enjoys the music so much so that it makes them tremble and shake, and they cannot help but move their feet to the rhythm of the music. The lyrics "so people listen to the sound, round round round round round, put your hands up" encourage others to join in the fun and lose themselves in the music as well.
The chorus of the song expresses pure joy and the sensation of completeness that the singer feels from being in the moment and enjoying the music. "My satisfaction is complete, I keep on rolling on my feet, just put your hands up to the sound, and turn around round round" urges the listeners to let go of their worries and enjoy the music, just like the singer.
The upbeat music, combined with the carefree lyrics of the song, make it an ideal party anthem, and it encourages people to let their hair down and enjoy the moment.
