As a late addition to her family, Elaine Benes had no choice but to fit into the plans of her sisters and parents. Whether it were watching jazz dances to the sounds of Young MC and Janet Jackson, being a silent chip sandwich-eating passenger in a car that only played Queen and Meat Loaf on the way to a mid-life crisis gym workout or witnessing intense therapeutic ironing sessions to the beat of Dionne Warwick and The Doobie Brothers, Elaine slot into the schedule and musical tastes of others. This was of course until California Games could supervise her. With this musical knowledge and SEGA skills at the age of 5, Elaine Benes was the youngest dag Sydney had ever seen.
The varied musical styles remained an important part of Elaine's life. She dabbled with a couple of instruments which included taking guitar lessons on a gold (looking) electric guitar. But once Dammit, Just Ace, Come as You Are and the Beverly Hills 90210 theme had been mastered, Benes didn't see much need to further develop her skills.
It was around this time that Elaine Benes discovered Wild FM CDs, MP3s and CD burners. COOL! Not only could she now create a digital library of Hi-NRG tracks that she loved dancing to in sparkled everything at the local under 18s dance parties, Elaine could burn "best of" CDs of these high-pitched, robotic-voiced, fast-paced, head caving numbers and sell them to her friends for far more than they were worth.
The aggressive forcing of music onto her peers continued in the form of both CDRs and hijacked stereos at parties with the music changing to house then cheese then breaks then hip-hop then disco then electro and any other genres that have been made up or revived in recent times.
Still unsatisfied, Benes put on some expensive headphones, called herself a DJ, learned how to use the relevant equipment and moved onto clubs where she can now be found applying her Master System II skills to mixing tracks selected to fit into the taste of every audience. It makes for quite the party.
