A pioneer in this genre in Florida, DJ Rasa hosted weekly nights at Simons playing alongside talent such as Grooverider, Dieselboy, DB, Dara and LTJ Bukem to name a few.

After acquiring a larger more well equipped venue at The Soulhouse called "Clean", he was able to experiment more with drum machines, singers and live elements bringing in acts such as Smith & Mighty, drawing from a more Dub / Reggae influence.

After moving to San Francisco in 1998 he crossed paths with Benny E. Sanches (a.k.a. iNTROSPEKT) at Nova Productions. The two immediately began producing together.

Benny Sanches is a decade-long producer of electronic music, with remixes for Depeche Mode and Meat Beat Manifesto among his portfolio.

As a producer and musician, iNTROSPEKT has worked with Ahou Yazmeen (vocalist, guitarist, aka ISYSS); David Pulfinger (percussionist, Cabaret Voltaire/Cocteau Twins); Jorge Bermudez (The Bermudez Triangle); Ammie Moore (Chicago-based Lounge/Trip Hop vocalist); Lisa Talev (Austin-based Poet, vocalist, guitarist); Christophe Royer (San Francisco-based House & Funk producer); Rasa N' Rice (Los Angeles-based Electro producer); Shemp (Bass guitarist for Schloss); and many others.

As a solo artist, Benny is known by the name of Magnatune artist iNTROSPEKT.

In addition to his own production efforts, Benny works for the celebrated digital-recording company Digidesign.
