Jeff Bennett
In 1994 he and a partner founded a record store called Cosmic One Records that became the first electronic record store in
Malmoe. With the opening of the record store the DJ career got a boost and he started playing on various venues.
A year after the store was opened Jeff & his record store partner Jim Groovy started making their own one-off parties and clubs in
various sizes. His longest residency was in a house club called Thank God It's Friday were he played almost every Friday for over a
year. He has played at clubs & parties like: Fabric (London), Otto zutz (The edge, Barcelona), Fusion festival 2002 (Germany),
Ostgut (Berlin), Terry’s cafe (Frankfurt), PolarTV (Berlin), Barracca (Spain), The Loft (Spain) + many more.....
In 1996 Jeff & Jim started their first label Azurite records. Jeff started his own label Maskros Music in 1998. And the year 2000 two
new labels called Phunctional & Kung fu dub we're started by Jeff. The only label that is still alive from that era is Kung Fu dub,
which has recently been frozen up from its 3year sleep with some nice upcoming releases and remixes.
After moving on from the record store Jeff decided to move to Oslo/Norway for new inspirations. After 6months of Norway the path
towards Malmoe/Sweden was once again the choice and this is the base of Jeff’s whereabouts until further.
Jeff is currently finishing the recording of his third album under the Alias “Eddie Silverton” (Lounge/lofi/downbeat) it will be released
on Deeplaymusic from Sweden and has already been licensed to many compilations.
During 2009 Jeff will be recording his third album as Jeff Bennett, it should be finished after the summer.
And of course being a DJ as well brings a lot of inspiration & impressions to ones music from all the different places he visits
creating new vibes and sounds.....
