⫸ MUSIC

A giant of New York City club culture during the 1980s, John “Jellybean” Benitez was born to a Puerto Rican mother in the South Bronx. Gravitating toward music at a young age, he started frequenting disco clubs in the mid ‘70s and quickly became an established DJ in the scene.

Although he would go on to play at a variety of storied nightspots, including Studio 54, Paradise Garage and Electric Circus, Benitez truly made his mark with a residency at the Fun House in Manhattan, which he held from 1981 to 1984. During those years, his production and remix career also took off, as he reworked seminal tracks from Rockers Revenge, Jimmy Spicer and Afrika Bambaataa; two of his remixes from 1983’s Flashdance soundtrack also became sizeable hits. Around the same time, he was enlisted by Madonna to contribute to her debut album, producing “Holiday” (her first hit) and remixing several other tracks.

He would later produce and remix countless other acts throughout the decade, including Whitney Houston, Hall & Oates, Sheena Easton, Talking Heads, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, The Pointer Sisters, Debbie Harry, Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, to name just a few. Benitez also created music of his own, scoring hits with tracks like “Sidewalk Talk” (a song co-written by Madonna) and his cover of Babe Ruth’s “The Mexican” before releasing his debut album, Just Visiting This Planet, in 1987.

He remains active on the club scene today, and is largely regarded as one of the key figures who shepherded New York City nightlife out of the disco era, not to mention a pioneer of the freestyle genre.

Joshua Lang is a multipurpose artist who channels his inner world through design & music - An all around tastemaker for what’s current and what’s to come. He started his entrepreneurship journey in 2015 with the launch of his first company, BWC Garments / BWC Sounds: a Philly-based, world distributed life-style brand & music label. His clear-cut vision for community & culture has led him to lead various important roles including his most recent: W Hotel Philadelphia’s Music Director. He has managed to successfully cross pollinate audiences that all merge under musical unity and tasteful fashion.

Joshua will be holding down the Onyx Room all night long.
