TONYC is the alias of Jake Benner, a DJ and electronic music producer from Lörrach in southern Germany, close to Basel. He has been DJing since 2012, from Freiburg’s biggest student parties to weddings and corporate events, and his own releases have passed 500,000 streams.
Jake Benner picked up the guitar at 11, the saxophone at 14 and the keyboard at 16. In 2012 he started producing electronic music as TONYC, shaped by Linkin Park’s Meteora, Skrillex, Pendulum, Camo & Krooked, deadmau5 and Disclosure. His releases range from psytrance to drum & bass; in 2022 they made the Apple Music charts, and today they count more than 500,000 streams.
Behind the decks he has played more than 160 events: club nights at T.I.K and PUZZLES in Freiburg, student parties with up to 5 floors and over 1,000 guests, and weddings between the Black Forest, Freiburg and Lörrach. A computer scientist by training (M.Sc.), he also builds tools for musicians, such as the BPMcountR app.
The name: say it “Tony C” or “Tonic”.
There’s no doubt that Jake Benner is a gifted musician with a bright future ahead of him.
