Having conquered central Europe in recent years, 2007 has seen Benny taking North America by storm.
"I started the year with a tour of Canada on a huge rapper style tour bus.... 25 shows in a month, all sold out."
After that Benny hit the States, and the legendary American festival Coachella really caught his attention.
"That was one of the greatest thrills of my DJ career to date," he smiles. "I really enjoyed following Felix Da Housecat, he's such a laugh."
It's little surprise Benny's been going down well at the festivals, as his current musical penchant is tailor-made for moshing.
"I like rock contaminated with techno... and electro-punk... it's an exciting period, I feel like I'm back in primary school! Digitalism, Soulwax, LCD Soundsystem... all good stuff. Plus I love a lot of the rock bootlegs that appear out of nowhere."

Benny's also been busy working on his new album, which is set to feature a whole host of guests. His very own Pump-kin imprint is starting to take off too. On top of big Beatport hit Mobbing's 'Open Legs', plans are underway to get the label riding the airwaves before long.
