Composer: Alessandro Benassi.Audio Mixer: Alessandro Benassi.Arranger: Alessandro Benassi.The cousin of famed Italian DJ Benny Benassi, Alle Benassi is an equally adept producer and mixer who specializes in house music. ROCK THE DOG presents 12 of Benassi's electro-fueled jams, each of which is driven by synth squiggles, woozy synth bass, and thumping four-on-the-floor beats. In addition to fitting neatly in the tradition of Italian house and Euro disco, Benassi's infectious grooves shares qualities with the work of house icons like Carl Cox and Bob Sinclair. This one comes recommended to fans of Italian dance and electronica. Minimize

Recording information: Basic Studio, Italy; The Canvas Room; The Record Plant, Los Angeles, CA.Grammy-winning Benny Benassi's superstar DJ status has never really been threatened, but having failed to score a chart hit since 2002's "Satisfaction," it looked as though he'd remain alongside the likes of Spiller and Black Legend on the list of Italian dance one-hit wonders. However, following his high-profile remix of Madonna's "Celebration," his commercial career has witnessed something of a surprising resurgence. Indeed, looking at the list of guest stars on his third solo album, Electroman, it seems as though he could soon be challenging David Guetta as the go-to man when U.S. urban stars want a club-friendly make-over. Unfortunately, there are occasional ventures into the same clichéd, floor-filling territory, such as the title track, a collaboration with T-Pain which sounds like a parody of the heavily Auto-Tuned fun-in-the-club anthems swamping the charts, and "Spaceship," a disappointingly generic club ba Minimize

After the #2 chart success of his seismic speaker rumbling anthem "Satisfaction" Italian dj/producer Benny Benassi is set to surprise some critics with an album that is packed to the brim with more ear shattering, bowel-moving basslines than you'll know what to do with. Benassi hails from Reggio Emilia, a lovely Italian village about 100km south of Milan and produces with cousin Alle, who is a musician and arranger at Off Limits, the production unit run by Larry Pignagnoli. Mr Benassi was a massive fan of the eighties electro scene, inspiration from acts like Kraftwerk and artists such as Giorgio Moroder. "When I began my DJ career," he explains, "I was a massive fan of 80's electronica, and it's great to see that sound becoming so popular again. Clubbing was becoming a bit tired but now the dance floors are full of energy again. Everywhere I play 'Satisfaction' the reaction is crazy and it's great to see such a wide range of other DJs feeling it too." Minimize

About half of the reworkings take the songs in an even more dancefloor-oriented direction; the best of these, such as T. Raumschmiere's mix of "Lovely 2 C U" and the DFA's hyper-percussive take on "Slide In," offer a distinctive spin on the originals without obliterating them c Minimize

Audio Mixer: Killgore.Recording information: 4 Star Studios, Miami Beach, FL; Fly Eye Studio, London; The Canvas Room, London.Editor: Killgore.In this fourth installment of the highly successful dance compilation series, the Ultra label flexes its mighty licensing muscle once again and proves they can collect the tunes other labels can't afford. Besides that, they're keenly aware of what fills the floor, and with Benny Benassi, Deadmau5, Steve Aoki, Calvin Harris, and so many other dance music superstars on the track list, you'd have to fly to Miami during Winter Music Conference to find a bigger lineup. House and electro house reign supreme, and if you haven't run into the infectious "Mr. Saxobeat" before, shame on you. ~ David Jeffries Minimize
