2024 was a year marked by significant achievements. Benny proudly signed two records to the iconic Big Speaker Music, helmed by none other than Joe Ventura. Releases on Curious Energy Records further cemented his reputation as a creator of dynamic house tracks. Meanwhile, partnerships with platforms like Houseradio.net showcased his work to a growing global audience.
One of the year’s standout moments was the explosive reception to "Flyboy," a track released on House Radio Records that garnered over 285 Shazams, 83 playlist adds, and 22 pre-saves. “While these numbers might not seem incredible to some, they tell me that staying true to my unique sound resonates with listeners,” Benny reflected.
His radio presence also soared, with the War On House Radio Show expanding its reach. Nearly 60 episodes aired this year, featuring talents like Eddie T, Dec B, and even cameo appearances from Daniel Davies and Kate Meyher. Over 11,000 hours of music were streamed, with 2,700 songs played, making it a cornerstone for house music enthusiasts worldwide.
While not every goal was realized in 2024, each challenge presented an opportunity to grow and innovate. Benny had hoped to release more music and achieve his aspiration of joining Glasgow Underground, but these experiences laid the groundwork for future successes. Early networking strides with the legendary Kevin McKay have set the stage for exciting collaborations in the years to come.
On the technical front, Benny made significant upgrades. Transitioning to a Mac Studio and reinstalling essential apps, he ensured his production and broadcasting capabilities remain cutting-edge. These investments reflect his commitment to delivering high-quality music and seamless experiences for his listeners. By staying ahead of the curve, Benny has set a strong foundation for continued growth in 2025 and beyond.
The year’s releases were a blend of experimentation and mastery, each adding to Benny’s growing discography:
Benny’s remix work continued to shine in 2024, with standout projects including Michael Jackson’s "Man in the Mirror" (both House and Gospel Mixes), U2’s "With or Without You," and Chicane’s "Saltwater" featuring Roland Clark. On SoundCloud, his Nina Simone remix of "Sinnerman" topped the charts, followed closely by a Fred Again-inspired concept and a VIP remix of "Sinnerman" featuring a motivational speech from Rocky Balboa.
Benny’s music continues to captivate audiences worldwide. His top supporting countries in 2024 were the UK, USA, and Germany, with his hometown of Dublin leading as the top city. These insights reflect the universal appeal of his sound and the strength of his international following.
