So what does this all mean? yes, finally some tracks of mine will be
released :-)
Hello you,
Tnx for checking out the ‘site’ and showing your interest in whats happening
@ Benny’s ;)
This time i will be posting more the production side of moi (as that is what
i also do next to the dj-ing and talking ;-)
I’ve been producing lots of music the last couple of years, still most
people know me for dj-ing wich i’m pretty proud of as i hopefully showed the
peepz i’m not a typical example of ‘good producer makes bad dj’ kinda thing
;-)
I did some music with some close likeminded friends such as Darko Esser,
Warren Fellow and Quince, some got released (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Benny+Rodrigues),
others didn’t (sorry larby but i still love you! ;-)....
I’ve also produced some serious music on my own wich most of it will be
released soon (what is soon with me huh? haha) in a very special way....keep
ya posted!
Next do that this year i also did some music with afrojack/kapuchon (same
guy, different flow) and it did quite well i must say....why? see below! :)
AFROJACK & BENNY RODRIGUES -
DINGES EP (WHITE NOISE RECORDINGS 003)
Heavenly inspired by techno-legend dave clarke (but also the oldskool
chicago booty/tech such as green velvet, dancemania, dj rush etc etc) we
created ‘Dinges’ and ‘Something (In English)’, we decided to a Dave Clarke
inspired track (without sounding as Dave Clarke!) and so what’s best after
that? send it to mr Dave Clarke himself right?
www.daveclarke.com
well, he F##$%^&* (my family is reading too ya know ;-)LOVED it! and that we
found out....DAMN!

heritage touched by upcoming Dutch techno stars of the future."

FEEDBACK
Ben Sims: will def play this one, crazy old green velvet style on the a
and technasia-ish jacker on the b, best white noise for me so far.
Ken Ishii: Both tracks are great. Driving!
Rolando: both tracks are slammin!!! will play for sure - got my full support
Len Faki: "dinges" is amazing! will kill the floor!
The Advent: Very nice, 'dinges' reminds me of early techno.. like Dan bell &
some joey beltram..when techno had balls... good release & production!
Ade Fenton: Proper Chicago influenced techno. Really liking both tracks, the
dancefloor reaction to both is phenomenal.
Cari Lekebusch: ima flaunt both trax asap -- my faves the A on this one, but
i really like both. Got a weakness for chicago styled jack vibes since way
back
Darko Esser: a killertune wich has been ripping up clubs when I play it! The
B-side is a monster as well, proper techno baby!! Charted at no 2 this month
Frank Kusserow: Dinges is my favourite tune, big jackin` techno vibes from
the past, brought into the next century!
DJ Hyperactive: Good stuff here ! I'll support it here in Los Angeles. The
folks still love harder techno in Cali!!!!
iDJ mag review:
AFROJACK & BENNY RODRIGUES - DINGES EP - WHITE NOISE (uk) 003
After a couple of fine releases courtesy of Frank Kusserow and Woody McBride,
it's time for Dutch producers Afrojack and Benny Rodriguez to show what
their made of on Dave Clarkes new White Noise label.
Kicking off with the awesomely original 'Dinges' which is pounding with lead
f/x which twist and turn all over the place, making it stand out head and
shoulders above a lot of the competition.
Next up 'Something (in English)' continues right where they left off, but
replacing the f/x with more old school pads and is another fine example of
what these guys are all about... Check it! K1 **** RECOMMENDED |
If you like the stuff i play out at ‘latin lovers’ then please DON’T check
this one out! lol hahahaha...., i guess (especially ‘Dinges’) is a release
you either love or hate (even if you like your techno pumped up)....no
middle of the road here hehe....;)

KAPUCHON & BENNY RODRIGUES- THE FINGER
EP (SPINCLUB RECORDINGS 004)
Sometimes i don’t do shit for months/years, other times i’ll have 2 releases
in 1 month! i know that my releaseplanning could be a bit better but ah well,
better 2 then zero right? :)
‘The Finger’ is a deep but still prime-time banger with a huuuuge siren, we
produced this track with a certain kinda sarcastic idea in the back of our
heads wich i won’t bother you with but for those who know....know ;-)
Spinclub Recordings is the new label from the one and only technohero Chris
Liebing and you might know spinclub from the great parties Chris and his CLR
team throws here, there and ibizaaaa (and guess what....i’m a resident at
these really fun parties! :-).
Chris, Speedy J, Josh Wink, Radioslave and Michel De Hey have been banging
out both Fingers hard this summer and now it’s up for you to check....hope
you like?

KAPUCHON & BENNY RODRIGUES- THE FINGER EP (SPINCLUB RECRODINGS 004)
INFO:
It might seem ironic that one of the possibly most chilled out and relaxed
Techno tracks in history comes from no other city than Rotterdam, originally
best known for a slightly harder sound. It took one of the veterans and one
of the most talented rookies of this city to make this happen. We are
actually at least as delighted as we are surprised! The story goes that a
few years ago, two like-minded souls met in the clubs of Rotterdam. Benny
Rodrigues the veteran and Kapuchon the rookie. They knew right away that
they had some collective work to do. “The Finger EP” is one of the
remarkable results of this co-operation. Right from the start you can feel
these guys have something to say. There is this certain elegance in the
choice of the beat sounds, which makes “The Finger” exceptional and pleasant
from the start. For a whole minute the beat just runs with a latent promise
of something big to happen. Then the first synthesizer sounds appear in a
seriously dubbed out way, flying on loads of delay, spread out and expanding.
Every single one of them develops with clarity, substance and depth. Every
effect has a destination. Sometimes the track seems to end, just to start
again in the most stripped down and enjoyable way. When Chris Liebing first
heard “The Finger”, he signed it for Spinclub Recordings before the track
was actually over. Since then he has played it all over the world and tested
it wherever he went. With its brilliant combination of Techno and Dub it has
proven to be a reliable dance floor filler. The additional track “The Other
Finger” is an independent and notable alternative with a House vibe and
spoken vocals. We are very exited to welcome our Spinclub/Ibiza resident
Benny Rodrigues and his partner in crime Kapuchon on our emerging label. We
cannot help it but feel pleased and blessed by this outstanding release,
hoping it will receive the attention it deserves.
KEY-FEEDBACK:
