Surkin is 26, lives in Paris and makes music for a living for half a decade. Brown hair cut short, creative teeth, smokes, somewhat gourmet, high-technology early adopter. Looks way too young for his age so never goes out without his ID. Has a soft spot for Swiss and Japanese graphic design, early CGI, vintage bullet hell shoot’em ups and Wired magazine iPad application. Government name : Benoît Heitz.

His first taste of dance music came from Detroit ghetto tech, a genre he got so excited about as a teen that he launched a website featuring his own mixed selections. Then came Miami bass, Chicago house and the whole spectrum.

In 2006, he signed with Parisian label Institubes, on which he released six EPs in the following years, including the hits Ghetto Obsession, Radio Fireworks, White Knight Two and Fan Out. With labelmate Bobmo, he also formed High Powered Boys, a duo originally dedicated to the furthering of the ghetto-house cause.

Surkin has played everywhere, from small clubs and warehouses to huge festivals (Fuji Rock, Good Vibrations, Primavera, Coachella– twice! - Stereosonic, SummerSonic…) and toured Australia, North America, Europe, UK and Japan several times. As a DJ, he’s known for his quicksilver, transhistorical mixing style, layering hysterical vocal house, cubist tracky UK bass, French touch sounds and US ghetto cuts. He’s also a noted remixer (Boys Noize, Klaxons, Paul Johnson, Foals, Justice, The Juan Maclean…) and was asked in 2009 to reinterpret the score of one of his favorite games, Bionic Commando (Capcom).
