Multi-Talented DJ Global Set For Mercury Lounge ABC This Weekend

Internationally acclaimed DJ Global is not new to the party scene in Kenya, having played at the Mercury Lounge earlier in February this year to a crowd that was positively responsive to his ecclectic fusion of House, African, Hip Hop and Urban music.

“The secret to good deejaying is you have to feed off the crowd’s response. If they’re feeling the kind of music your playing, then go with it,” DJ Global told Ghafla!

Beni is DJ Global’s real name, and he’s a banker by profession. Music is his passion and he doubles up the hobby that is Deejaying with music production. DJ Global has his own studio back in his hometown of Kampala, but when in Kenya he utilizes the Red Republik studios along Thika Road to come up with the amazing tunes you hear him play and the performances he has.

P-Unit and Muthoni the Drummer Queen are just a couple of the Kenyan artistes he has worked with on tracks and his prowess on the decks has made him more than desirable to entertainment venues across the continent.

“Alot of places have wanted me to play in-house, but that would water down my plans,” Beni said. This year alone has seen DJ Global stick to his name by performing as far and wide as Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland. He is scheduled for more gigs in South Africa in August and in the Emirates later on in the year.

DJ Global is in Kenya for his second performance in the country at Mercury Lounge ABC Place this coming Satruday, 26th May 2012 from 8.00pm for what is destined to be a truly memorable night.

“I’m versatile when it comes to the type of music I play: House, African, Classics  which are the easiest to do, Rock music and even Hip Hop.” Beni emphatically added.

Global admits that DJs in Uganda are yet to get the respect they deserve but he hopes that they will get there someday. He says he’s working on two records, mixed and mastered that should be out soon.
