Marco (Benny) Benassi is an Italian disc jockey and producer of eurodance/electronic music born in 1967.

He started to DJ in the 1980s and by the 1990s he was helping to create music for other artists, including Whigfield, in the Off Limits production studio. His first solo project success under the name KMC came with "I Feel So Fine" which featured Dhany on vocals and was a hit in Europe in 2001. He followed this in 2002 with "Satisfaction" which was a great success helped, no doubt, by the accompanying video featuring models using power tools.
In 2003 he released his debut album Hypnotica which proved to sell the most copies of an Italian album outside Italy. After this solo success he formed a group with his brother Alle Benassi called Benassi Bros. and together they produced Pumphonia (2004) and Phobia (2005). Also during 2005 he founded a record label called Pump-Kin Music whose primary purpose was to nurture the talents of unsigned DJs and producers. (Amazon.com)
