Marco "Benny Benassi" Benassi (born 13 July 1967) is an Italian DJ and record producer. He is best known for his 2002 summer club hit "Satisfaction".
A native of Milan and raised in Reggio Emilia, DJ and producer Benassi, started DJing alongside cousin Alle Benassi in the late 1980 in their hometown, before moving to Larry Pignagnoli's Off Limits production studio in the mid-1990, creating music for various acts, including Whigfield, J.K. and Ally & Jo. In 2001, Benassi, under the name KMC, released his first hit called "I Feel So Fine", with vocals by Dhany. The track first climbed the charts in Benassi's native Italy, and soon became a #1 hit in the UK club charts.
Moving from house to electro, "Satisfaction" took Benassi's success worldwide a year later with high-profile DJs like Carl Cox, Darren Emerson, and Roger Sanchez offering praises. The track reached #2 in the UK Singles Chart after the Ministry of Sound record company replaced the original video (an almost still picture of the band, overlaid with graphics) with a video of models using power tools.
Featuring: Gary Go
I've been trying to breakout of the breakdown
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
I dance dance and pray that some of them do.
(Chorus)
Hey-yeah, lift my emotion
Tonight, my heart is open
Let go, there's no confusion
Control is an illusion.
Control is an illusion.
Woo-ooo-oo-oo.
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 aliiiiive.
Ready to let love back into my soul.
In the beauty, in the music, it's time to lose control of control.
(Chorus 2x)
Control, control.
