Back To Mine with STEB

Italian Benny Blanco steps out with his exciting new STEB alias for a new EP on Night Vibez Records that comes with remixes from Memoryman Aka Uovo and Brine. Blanco has been lighting up the scene for over 15 years. He has never been far from the top of the Beatport charts since releasing his standout Staraya EP and always comes with a fresh and inventive style. He took time out from the studio to choose these Back To Mine anthems…

1 Lou Reed – Perfect Day
The perfect record. In any context and at any time, it always makes me happy and puts me in a good mood.

My Mine – Hypnotic Tango
I have always been fascinated by Italo Disco, and my Dj sets are still influenced and contaminated by this sound.
These producers were born in Umbria (Italy) like me, and with this evergreen, they inspired artists like Frankie Knuckles and Carl Craig.

U2 – Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Rock and pop music has always been by my side ever since I started my musical journey, and U2 is one of those bands that I will never get bored of.

Skunk Anansie – Twisted
This group I discovered thanks to a friend, I immediately fell in love with the voice of Skin and the group’s hybrid sound going between funk, blues, punk rock, reggae, and hip hop.

Eminem – Stan Ft. Dido
Released in 2000, every time I listen to it, It reminds me of that very happy period of my life. And thanks to him and this record at that point I discovered the music of 2pac, The Notorious B.I.G, Dr. Dre, Public Enemy, Jay-Z, Grandmaster Flash, Snoop Dogg, and many others.

The Police – Message In A Bottle
Punk, new wave, and reggae that when mixed together with a good bottle of red wine will make your evening unforgettable!

The Sugarhill Gang – Rapper’s Delight
It’s considered to be one of the first rap songs, but with the sample of Chic, Bernard Edwards’s basslines, and Nile Rodgers’ guitar, it’s funky, it’s disco, it’s …. amazing!

The Chemical Brothers – Got To Keep On
Poetry, music, power, and elegance in their purest form …
I have always loved them, in my DJ sets their records are almost never missing, and this is one of them!

Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit
To my ears, it smells of Grunge, freedom, skateboarding, adolescence, and long suburban days with my best friends.

Radiohead – High and Dry
My Brit Pop background starts right here…
