VHS OR BETA

Description

The name VHS OR BETA has always meant dance. The band have been at the forefront of the dance-rock scene for nearly a decade. A natural segue from the stage was to the decks. Starting in the late ‘90s, the band’s Craig Pfunder and Mark Palgy ran a weekly dance party in their hometown of Louisville, KY. Once the band gained international acclaim, they took their beat-matching DJ skills to the masses. In the last few years their mix of electro, house and disco has supplied the party at Lollapalooza, the LA Museum Of Contemporary Art, NYC’s Guggenheim Museum, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bogota, Mexico City, Puerto Rico, Buenos Aires, Kuala Lampur and all over the US and Canada. They’ve also rattled off a series of attention grabbing remixes for The Juan MacLean, Tegan & Sara, My Morning Jacket, Kinki, Tiger City and the Hussle Club.

Who is Beni? One-man-party? Antipodean dance-meister extraordinaire? DJ du jour? All of the above PLUS PLUS PLUS!

Beni’s return to the limelight is imminent, and this time he has a scorching debut album in his pocket set for release in 2011. Swinging from low-slung acid funk to dark club slammers to disco gaytastic, this album is for you, your friend and your friend’s friends. So leave your loved ones at home and bathe in the sunshine. And if you want a bit of history … Previously, in a few short years, Beni has worn many musical guises: erstwhile global follies with vagabond disco pirates the Bang Gang Deejays; creator of two worldwide stonking singles with (now defunct) Riot In Belgium; a stellar array of remixes for Tiga, Digitalism, Fischerspooner, La Roux, Alex Gopher, and a remix for Muscles new single about to drop; and finally his first two solo offerings earlier this year, the acid-drenched disco-funk of "My Love Sees You" and his monster slab of black plastic "Maximus."

"Combines the charged peaktime vibes of his earlier work with punchy bass guitars, highly strung synths and plenty of euphoric vocal samples. The funked-up bass and disco influences sit nicely with Beni’s intense production - and will ensure a whole lot of slamming silliness on the floor." --TheVine.com
