Benny Benassi

The pitch-bender is Benny Benassi's friend. The thirty-something Italian spinster has perfected -- in collaboration with his cousin Alle, of Larry Pignagnoli's internationally successful Off Limits production company -- an irresistible electro-house-music fusion that would not be the same without pitch-bending technology.
