Benales started buying records at the age of 14, and then started mixing them at 16. He first found interest in Trance but then turned round to other harder musical styles as Hard Techno, Drum’n Bass and Minimal Techno, this last one will become his predilection style. So he began to play in different Techno parties and Teknivals in France.
In 2001 he formed, with friends, the “le Sous-Marin” association, which has for aim to organize Electro parties in Normandy. So he took part in the organization of several parties in pubs, concert halls, and also organizes the “Tempetes Sonores” festival since 2 years. He also cooperates with “the Pulp” (Paris)and “Dieppe Scene Nationale” in the organization of the “Kill the dj” parties since 2 years in Dieppe.
In 2004 he went to Barcelona and mixed on a radio broadcast(Kremadelik), and then in 2005 he settled in Amsterdam in order to organize and take part into several parties(pubs, clubs, squats…) as Café Tetra or The Force with Dupa crew and Chronic soundz. During this period in Amsterdam he took part in the Twisted Dj Contest and he got successfully selected.
In September 2006 he came back in France, and participated in another Dj contest, The Name Festival Dj Contest, and this time won it in front of a jury composed, among other, of Jennifer Cardini and Jonas Bering(kompakt).
He will be playing as valuable dj for the next edition in 2007… (www.lenamefestival.com).
