Guest DJ (first hour) Benito Blanco.


Benito Blanco, a German DJ, has been involved in dance music for almost twenty years, being particularly drawn to electronic sounds since the age of 15 when he was first exposed to breakbeats and jungle music. His life's path was set once he became captivated by electronic music.


Since then, his primary focus has been on creating, performing, sharing, and promoting electronic music. He characterizes his music style as Deep Futuristic Tech Funk House. Benito Blanco is dedicated to propelling his music forward, constantly seeking new concepts and refining his style, and his rhythm will resonate deeply within you.


In addition to DJing at various venues and holding residencies such as the OZON club in Pforzheim, Germany, the "Heimspiel" at Hausbar in Bruchsal, Germany, and the Tropic Beach Bar in Rheinsheim, Germany, he has also travelled extensively. In August 2019, he embarked on a "Colombia tour" and had the chance to perform at various locations.


After Benito's captivating performance at Centrico in Bogota, his talent caught the attention of Christian Bustamente, a prominent figure in the music industry and a key member of the TLS (The Lab Sessions) crew. Impressed by Benito's unique style and musical prowess, Christian extended a special invitation for Benito to become part of the TLS team as an artist and scout for Germany and Europe.

His ability to fuse electronic sounds with indigenous world music rhythms has allowed him to shape the sound of African dance music and work with various South African and international record producers bearing him the name Afro House king. House Music in South Africa is blossoming and Owami Umsindo continues with a refreshed Techy Afro style sound that is fast gaining traction all over the globe. 


Benito Blanco’s set for the first hour of Assemble was a vibrant mix of House music. Featuring tracks from Toman, Ralph Falcon, and Cuartero, the set was filled with groovy beats and infectious rhythms, creating an energetic and engaging listening experience.


Owami Umsindo continued the journey with a deep dive into Afro House. For his guest mix, he is taking you on a journey into the sounds that have an authentic African feel, he aims to bring out the African in everyone with a rich and diverse sound.
