Three decades of trance, rave and techno come together in a contemporary blend of high-paced, hypnotizing euphoria. Or, as Benwal puts it: “A 90s vibe with a 20s twist.”
Benwal is steadily becoming a household name in up-tempo dance music. From his home base Groningen (NL), he is currently making waves with a fresh and energetic sound. Winning over crowds with his infectious DJ performance and solid productions, he is rapidly gaining traction across Europe.
Benwal’s obsession with electronic music is deeply rooted in Groningen’s underground. Splendidly capturing the energy of post-pandemic party life, his rave platform Zeven was an overnight success. He also became a resident of KopjeK, one of the city’s longest running and most respected parties. Playing b2b with kindred spirits like Marlon Hoffstadt Malugi and Tjade, he further perfected his musical storytelling. Pretty soon, he performed in clubs like Radion, Gewölbe Cologne, Thuishaven and AMP Münster.
Already supported by the likes of KI/KI, TRYM and DJ Heartstring, Benwal’s productions are the latest focal point on his exciting musical journey. Endless hours in the studio with his production partner Jonathan Kruizenga are finally paying off. Benwal’s new release is set to come out later this year, when “Never The Same” – a sought after gem this past festival summer – will finally see the light of day. As his sound is evolving towards a bit more groove-centered, trance-influenced style, this year promises to be quite the rollercoaster.
