A true architect of the global electro-house movement, Benny Benassi returns with commanding force on his latest studio album Feel The Bass, out now via ULTRA Records. Known for shaping the sound of dance music across decades, Benassi doesn’t just revisit his legacy here, he redefines it. The album stands as a bold statement of intent: rooted in club culture, yet unmistakably forward-thinking, blending nostalgic textures with cutting-edge production.
At the heart of the project is the focus track ‘Can I Feel?’ with Rafael Cerato, a radiant, vocal-driven anthem that pairs soulful toplines with rippling electro grooves. It’s a track that captures the emotional core of the album while delivering peak-time energy, a balance Benassi executes effortlessly throughout the record.
The journey begins with ‘Love Is Gonna Save Us’, a powerful collaboration with ARTBAT. Built around a mantra-like vocal, the track evolves into a massive progressive drop that feels both cinematic and club-ready. From there, ‘The Future’ alongside Zamna Soundsystem and Laherte pushes boundaries further, layering delicate vocals over expansive builds that stretch house music into immersive new territory.
Benassi’s versatility shines across the album. ‘DISCOTEKA’ with Tobias Gerard oozes funk-infused swagger, channeling classic disco energy through a modern lens. Meanwhile, ‘Superstar’ with Chris Nasty delivers bold, ballroom-inspired flair, celebrating identity and self-expression with unapologetic attitude.
One of the album’s standout moments arrives with ‘Chicago Baby’, a collaboration with house pioneer Felix Da Housecat. The track bridges generations of dance music, merging the raw spirit of Chicago house with Benassi’s signature electro intensity, resulting in a future classic that pays homage while pushing forward.
Elsewhere, deeper cuts like ‘Just Like That’ with Fideles explore melodic depth, while ‘Shades’ with Glowal and SQU4RE inject darker, more abrasive textures into the mix. The title track, ‘Feel The Bass’, anchors the album with glitch-heavy production, towering builds, and a relentless low-end presence, serving as both a sonic and thematic centerpiece.
Closing the project, collaborations with AXIS ZERO and Constantin ensure the album finishes on a high, maintaining its intensity while showcasing Benassi’s continued evolution.
With Feel The Bass, Benny Benassi proves that longevity in electronic music isn’t about standing still, it’s about adapting, innovating, and leading from the front. This album is not just a celebration of his legacy, but a powerful reminder that his influence on the global dancefloor is far from over.
