Benfay

  / artists (B)
Real Name:Benjamin Fay
Profile:The Bernese Benjamin Fay grew up in the Swiss town Olten, where he got educated with the Freejazz records his father owned. He decided to study the retort bass at the „College of Music“ in Berne. In 1999 he met Niels Jensen aka Dialogue, who introduced him to the large variety of electronic music. The consequence for Benjamin was clear, unlike with the retort bass it doesn’t need an ensemble to compose melodical music. So in order to concentrate fully on the production of electronic music he started to teach himself the use of sampleeditors and the ABC of mastering.

In record time the admitting autodidact learned how to control the modular software synthesizers such as Reaktor or studio software like Wavelab. His early tight techno tracks reminded many people of the famous Kanzleramt sound. With his increased advancement, Benjamin started to restructure his typical way of composing songs, so that nowadays one is determined to think that his works sound more cleared up and arranged smoothly, however the hidden detailed funk in his songs remain.

Particularly as Liveact Benjamin has got a very good reputation and meanwhile performed at the countries largest clubs, like the „Rohstofflager“ in Zurich or the „Tonimolkerei“ in Zürich.

Playing as Liveact, his sets shine in the minimal light and might remember of Dan Bell as DBX, a minimum of House, making use of the Acidhouse quotation and sweaten the crowd with closed hihats galore.

Benfay also as receives bookings as DJ, however he is one of the few pioneers and Native Instruments beta tester, playing live with the MP3 mixer TRAKTOR almost exclusively THINNER material.
