"The work of Benny Benassi on "Bring the Noise" epitomizes what this remix is all about: Music is music, regardless of branding, labeling or rigid genre descriptions.

The GRAMMY award comes on the eve of a Benny Benassi new project, an artist album that is scheduled to release in May of this year.
