Mr Bennett started creating music in 1994 and has been doing the business ever since, in 1998 his first single came out on his own label Maskros Music.

Since that single he has released over thirty of his trademark deep dubby house on labels like Poker flat, Episode, Treibstoff, Intristc design, Konvex konkav, Jamayka & Morris Audio.

In 1994 he and a partner opened a record store called Cosmic One Records that became the first electronic record store in Malmoe (Sweden). With the opening of the record store the DJ career got a boost and he started playing on various venues.

A year after the store was opened Jeff & his record store partner Jim Groovy started making their own one-off parties and clubs in various sizes. His longest residency was in a house club called Thank God It's Friday were he played almost every Friday for over a year. He has played at clubs & parties like: Fabric (London), Otto zutz (The edge, Barcelona), Fusion festival 2002 (Germany), Ostgut (Berlin), Terrys cafe (Frankfurt), Polartv (Berlin) & many more.....

After moving on from the record store Jeff decided to move to Oslo/Norway for new inspirations. The first album has just been released and is getting good response.

A couple of 12" are also to be released this year on labels like: Audio beyond, Ibizaloopsound, konvex konkav, Worship & Choke. Apart from the dance music he is also into producing Lounge music and has recently finished recording an album for Just chillin records which is a Swedish based label, that's due for release Summer/Autumn 2003.
