Cavalcade: Throw-back beats, vintage vibes and modern melodies driven by electronic pulses.

Benny Earl Sanches (aka Cavalcade) has been producing, remixing and creating original music compositions for over two decades. Originally from Houston, Texas Benny began his career in 1990 while working for the infamous Enron Oil and Gas Corporation.

Having had enough of Corporate America he took his gear and inspiration on the road to San Francisco, California. There he had a 10 year run, creating works under the moniker iNTROSPEKT and crossing paths with inspirations such as Meat Beat Manifesto, Depeche Mode, Cabaret Voltaire and The Cocteau Twins to name a few.

After being underground and quietly continuing production for several years, Benny resurfaced and established his own record label, Electric Meter Room Records. Benny, aka Cavalcade by now, emerged with a new sound and the labels first release - a 5 song EP that features remixes by some of Cavalcade's top inspirations. The release includes remixes by Meat Beat Manifesto, George Cochrane (Weatherhouse / Black Flamingo), Velapene Screen and LoFeye. A full length video was shot for the release by award winning Director and Film Producer Sophia Medium, for the headlining track titled "Bypass" - a stellar remix of Cavalcade by Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto. The video drew over 8,000 views in just a few days while the online review and label website attracted over 40,000 hits in a few months time.

In 2011 Cavalcade released a full length album titled "Dare to Think" on Low Down Grooves with distribution thru IODA in San Francisco. Cavalcade's latest full length album titled "Failure" is being released Summer 2012 through Magnatune. With new releases on the table Benny is still moving forward and staying busy producing in the Echo Park community of Los Angeles. This winter's focus is a full length album that will include his remixes of selected artists and influences. Production for those remixes has already begun on songs by artists Josie Cotton, LoFeye, Masterslave, Weatherhouse, Marissa Gomez and the Ghosts of Echo Park, Tommy Santee Clause, Rod Cumming, AK and her Ashklinovs and more.

Lastly and simultaneously, another new and exciting collaboration is well under way between Cavalcade and George Cochrane, an effort called Papa Fritas, a throw-back House and Techno sound that is being cooked up for release in late 2012. So stay tuned....
