Would love to know how Zombie Nation came across the Lazy Jones sample for Kernkraft 400 and turned it into a worldwide anthem

Hardwell, about his album rebels never die.
This hit so different in the club back then, it sounded massive like it was stressing the speakers out. It ushered in the 2000s electro-house era with a bang. Suddenly super heavy sidechain and farty bass was everywhere after this track
the sidechain was a game changer
Farty bass is the best description I've heard for it till date. 🤣
Cheesy rubbish.
techno producers had been doing that before this track came out lol
@@funkmachine9094 History will honor them surely. What were their names again?
I can believe Tunisia was the reason for this banger to exist. ❤️🇹🇳 Proud of you Tunisia and your traffic noises
Simply an immortal song.
Yea but doesn’t slap in the club anymore for more than 60 seconds - the remake was necessary
TRACK FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Literally
"maybe it was not the proper way to use a compressor"
Humanity innovates, compromises and experiment in everything.. curiosity is really a good thing..
Oh, modern EDM? How gross and sad.
@@TheSingularitarian ok, boomer, please be sad somewhere else
Same thing happens in medical science all the time
one of the most legendary drops of all time never gets old
Absolutely 💯
I feel like Satisfaction was especially big in Eastern Europe and Russia, a lot of people still listen to Benny Bennasi with big nostalgia. A truly innovative artist who made his own sound and conquered the world with it.
it wasn't big in Eastern Europe, it was massive.
in EE it was like supernova
@@VadimkaMr haha I am also from EE so can confirm!
I remember when Cinema came out!
yes, we had a disco club in our university campus, and this song played at least 2,3,4 times during the night in 2002-2003. I had my first computer back then, and I have downloaded an album of Benassi. I'm still amazed when I hear this song at almost every DJset, its amazing how immortal this song is.
I remember that I watched the video clip for the first time on MTV at my friend's apartment. After the video was over, we looked at each other, and our faces were surprised. Because we had never heard a music like this and seen a video clip like this... it was completely unique and ahead of its time.
In my opinion, it was a real pioneer of electro house genre and shaped the mid-2000s electronic music industry.
After 20 years, I still find the track fresh and unique.
looked kinda like a daft punk video from the mid 90's
Damn. This song got me into electronic music. I can say that as a DJ who has been working on my craft for 15 years, this single song was the reason why I do what I do now
One of those rare songs that is an actual game changer. I remember being at a little underground electroclash club and hearing this for the first time. Within 30 seconds I was at the DJ booth demanding to know what the song was. I was fairly "with it" at the time, but had obviously never heard of Benny Benassi. Within a few weeks, he was on Top of the Pops and EVERYONE knew his name.
Satisfaction - that evergreen song that refuses to be called old 😁
Yesss
I'm 42 years old and SATISFACTION, Sound Of San Fransisco and First Time (offernism Maya) are my best songs about 20 years. I definitely listen to these songs every week because they still make me feel like I'm in my 20s at this age :)
Hearing this song in the mid 2000s was different man idk it’s the fact that technology was just getting more innovative and for me this song sounds futuristic? All I know is that whenever I listen to this song I reminisce like crazy man
the song that introduced me to not only this legend, but a whole genre of music
It’s remarkable the impact the song had. I remember in 2006 the sound was still being obviously emulated, e.g., Oakenfold’s Faster Kill Pussycat. And around the same time, Andy Moor introduced that bass into trance. It changed dance music forever.
history of OSC 303 - Love is
Faster Kill Pussycat - what a record that is as well!
Don't forget about Royal Gigolos as well, they also copied Benny Benassi a lot :D
I was 9 years old when I first heard this. we were having a sleepover at the pool and it played on the radio, totally blew my little mind. when it finished I asked for it to play again and they told me it was the radio but I never forgot that tune. that was 20 years ago 🥲
What a great visual story man I felt like I was there 🏊♀
20 years??? I was 9 at that time and loved this track. And this is still on my Spotify list. :) Love this series DjMag! Huge thanks for that. Just so unreal to listen these stories from living legends.❤️
I was 10!! Where has the time gone 😮
Soll playing the album every now and then. Just great.
I was 20 :) i played it like crazy
Born in 1996, he had fun with this song
Still gives me goosebumps.
Same
What a masterpiece and what a legend! Satisfaction,Illusion,Hit my heart,Every single day.
I can't imagine my dj sets without this iconic track
A music that has shapped a whole generation of deejays, producers and EDM fans. Thanks DJ MAG! If I could suggest: "The Story Behind Destination Calabria" would be awesome too :D
And "The Story Behind Call on Me" would finish this trinity of stories of hot music video stories haha
@@EKAATPT hahahahaa well spotted. I wasn't thinking under this point of view.
@@EKAATPT that story is quite simple, Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) and Dj Falcon made an edit of ‘Valerie’ by Steve Winwood, which they played a lot when they toured together in the early 00s, and they never intended to release. So later on, Eric Prydz must’ve heard the edit they did and remade it, with Steve Winwood redoing the vocals, and boom, bob’s your uncle!
@@joaobluz Wrong. There’s a video on TH-cam of the true story. Eric Prydz had nothing to do with the song, Ministry of Sound just needed a name to put on a bootleg track they wanted to release..

I mean, its just a mashup lol
Crazy 20 years ! 🤯 I discovered this track at the CD listening stations of Barns & Noble , of all places 😂
Satisfaction still feels like a fresh tune 20 years on! I remember the first time I heard this song was a Saturday morning sat in my dad's car listening to the radio, as Peat Tong came on to introduce the track, "this is one to really rattle your rib cage" he said - it blew my tiny mind 🙌
This was sent to me by an older sister of a friend via msn in the early/ mid-2000s. One of the first electronic music tunes I ever heard, instantly hooked. Still incredible.
Been a complete electronic head since 1998. Never loved this song but there’s no question it was massive and it’s legendary
The timeless banger is here to stay 🔥
Benassi started my dance music obsession more of a trance fan now but I never forget how Benassi started it all for me
The tune and bass are just unique! Immediately recognizable and a forever classic of dance and trance. It can be remixed every 20 years!
This song really changed music.
I got to see him drop this song at freaknight Seattle Washington in like 2008.mabye 2009. Man the whole place went insane when he opened his set with satisfaction. Getting goosebumps thinking about it.
dang youre lucky. that era and this song? and live?! awesome 🎉🎉
I remember the same kind of feeling while in Mykonos, Benny was playing live, the sunrise at Cavo Paradiso in the background and was 2009.. Amazing!
I got to see him in 2007 on sunset in Hollywood at the music box drop this hit. Epic!
I’m 20 years old, born in 2003 and according to my mum when this song came out and I was only a few months old she used to watch MTV around me a lot and the satisfaction video would always get my attention and that I’d laugh, smile and stare at it, apparently I did the same with All the things she said too which honestly explains a lot about me lmao.
This song was EVERYWHERE back in the early and mid 2000's. Instant classic from the first time I heard it.
Not sure which is crazier- that this came out 20 YEARS AGO or that Benny may have inadvertently invented side-chaining (as it's used stylistically today) in the process of this legendary banger... all the more in awe of this iconic man
hate to be that guy, but daft punk did it before in tn this way
Sidechaining back then was already a known technique. He did not invent anything,
Lol what?
I still have this on vinyl from when I first bought it in 2002. Timeless classic and one of the most clever music videos ever made if you look beyond the distractions 😁.
Definately one of those classic dance tracks that STUCK with me. Everyone's waxing nostalgic about their 00's club days but i was nine, listening to sounds that were so foreign to the classic rock my parents played.
This song will never age. In Eastern Europe in the 2000’s this was a banger.
Everything ages but it was a banger well beyond Eastern Europe, in Taiwan it was too even if most people here didn't notice it.....
a timeless classic
Still one of my favourite tracks ever. That bassline and kick combo never gets old.
This song was the begging of my journey into the electronic and house music! I still have this album in my car's play list. Massive love and respect to Benny for this! ❤️
Same for me, the song that started all!
Tunisia is always inspirational 🔥🔥🔥🇹🇳❤️
20 years later and it still sounds amazing
It got better
I saw Benny live about 3 years ago, and he put on a great show
This documentary has revived my love for this song. Thanks.
Benny Benassi is the main artist that first got me into electro house. He will forever be an inspiration for my music. Thanks Benny 🙏🏼
Several of the best dj's of 2000 coming from Italy...a generation of talented djs
One of the best! He seems so humble too. Such great memories of this track and having the fortune to see him live was unreal! Absolutely everyone filled the floor to dance to Benassi. This music brought people together.
Inspiring Tunisia 🇹🇳
I simply love Benny. He is legend and he knows that but you can see how humble and purehearted this guy is. He carved his way into dance music pantheon, he kept innovating and merging new things into his sets up to this day. His winter music conference mixes from 2009-2011 are pure gold, I remember listening to them and how he essentially lost his voice shouting with the crowd and how happy he was. Also, Alle's credited as songwriter, this makes my happy somehow. Thanks Benny.
This song and album changed my life
I clearly remember the day this hit dropped. It was nothing i have ever heard before - absolutely unique. So first i felt goosebumps and i was shocked, later on it completely changed my mind about the music, especially club house music. What a f***** banger.
Amazing story! Love it💜
This made me feel extra old. Could've sworn this song blew up in the 2010's time flies.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM, Italian vibes&talent.
This track is still an absolute beast imo, such a timeless banger❤️
The impact of this track is immense.
2002, 2012, 2022 and we will still gonna want it in 2042 !
Just thank you! ❤
Recuerdo está canción empezaba en el mundo del djing y la música electrónica fue genial a pesar que todos la escuchaban thanks Benny from México 🇲🇽❤️!!!
good to see and to hear the power what benny has in him as himself and as a DJ !
Atemporal classic! So simply yet so modern
I will never forget how much I loved not only satisfaction but the whole album and the tons of remixes in the style of satisfaction to anything at that period. Great times!
Timeless Classic! Still in the playlist! buy the original album "Hypnotica" cassette in back in 2002. Still is my collection. His sound be completely different than others. Real hypnotic tech! He is a legend who i still listening!
this song was so ahead of time and still is it s crazy
a masterpiece 😍
Yes satisfaction is nice. But for me, ''Love is gonna save us'' and ''Illusion'' are legends. Benny Benassi is proof that such legendary things can be done with such simple sounds.
I love learning about the construction of a song! So interesting. AFROJACK remix from 10 years ago is quite good too ! Thanks for that interview, i love this song
When I turned 18, I moved south to Los Angeles. It was a 12 hour drive. I stopped in Berkeley and went to Amoeba to get a couple cds for the drive. I got a lot of industrial stuff and this album was the one thing that was vastly different. I remember putting it on first and not taking it out of the player for the rest of the drive that night. The whole album is great. I do love the tracks "Let It Be" and "I love my Sex" the most though.
Good memories.
The first party i ever joined they played his tracks, everybody goes nuts! Was the initial point for my musical journey, thanks man!
Discovered Satisfaction in middle school back in 2007. This track was one of the few that was a launchpad for my love into electronic music. Kids thought I was weird for listening to this kind of music back then, but look at where we are now
Such an humble person ! Amazing 🙏🏻
Masterpiece of e-music! Thanks Benny for this epic sound!
Still loving this tune 20 years later in 2023. Even all the remixes of this tune is equally great.
So good!
imagine when you have a traffic jam in front of your building you can choose between following options
A) start being frustrated
B) catch an idea for a dance track that is a world wide hit
I love this series
Benni is a great guy ! very humble - met him many times . Legend !
Timeless music, in 2002 I was 16 years old, how fast time flies.
One of the best out there up until today!
Great history, legendary track!
My granddad used to blast this when I was 4. Absolute banger. Good times.
I feel so lucky that I found this video. 😊
thank you for uploading this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video 🔥love that and what a track 🔥💣🔥💣
I'll never forget the night in Aruba in the hotel room and the club across the street playing this song so fucking loud it just shook the place and kept us awake all night! Hearing this song now so many years later just takes me back to that awesome time!
first time i heard this song, i was probably 16 or 17 but as a young kid who only listened to heavy rock music, this is one of the songs that introduced me to other genres that i still listen to this day. i am 32 right now.
LEGENDARY ❤
I will never forget the first time I heard this song haha, my friend told me he had the coolest track ever its going to blow my mind and it indeed blew my mind 😂 never underestimate the homies goods lol
Still such a massive track! Benny is the man live the whole GQ style interview keeps this stuff up!
I remember this released when I was 10 years old, was a banger than and still when I hear it now it gives me an amazing vibe when I'm not really into the early techno but more the harder or more relaxed things and I love the modern techno though. It just releases a big positive effect for me personally makes me so happy ❤ Can't imagine how it would feel like to have produced this track
Will always love this track
This sound is addictive
Гениальный DJ с большой буквы!!!
Benny, if you can read this, this song is definitely the main song of my childhood. I was born in 94 and I was a child when I heard this bass and drums.
Luv u man
Love this classic.
A legendary man who made an incredible contribution to the world of electronic music💚💚💚
It's timeless track, when you list n to it it just blows your mind.
Fantastic video. Snapshots in time.
Great vid - thanks for sharing!
I still remember listing the first time to this unique sound. It was in a media store in 2003. There were 10 TV‘s playing the same tv channel - VIVA (German Music TV). And the video was played and the sound was really quiet. So I searched for a remote to turn up the volume. One employee there thought that I was interested in the TV😂. So he started telling me some about that machine. And I was just answering : Please be quiet. I wanna listen.😅 So I watched the song till the end to see who it was. Later I bought the album and went to Benny Benassi‘s live show in Hamburg Reeperbahn. In my opinion it changed a lot about the house music sound. Remixes from Global Deejays, Fedde le Grand and others took that influence in their later hits and it was viral - all over in every disco. For maybe 3-5 years… Legendary
WOW !!! Cool interview
I saw him at spring awakening in soldier field in 2012 right before skrillex's set. He dropped cinema better in my opinion. I love how he has such a heavy Italian accent, yet the guy has some of the smuttiest songs in English, I love it.
