Benoit & Sergio
Sleek, literate house music that feels like a long conversation in a quiet corner of a loud club. Melancholic pop sensibilities for late-night city dwellers.

Benoit & Sergio make music for the moments after the peak, where the adrenaline fades into a warm, thoughtful haze. It is dance music that prioritizes the heart and the head over the feet, blending the steady, hypnotic pulse of deep house with the lyrical vulnerability of indie rock. Their sound is defined by a certain 'autumnal' quality, rich with analog warmth and a sense of sophisticated longing.
What sets them apart is their refusal to be just another electronic act. By pulling from the dry wit of Pavement and the art-pop structures of Talking Heads, they infuse their tracks with a narrative depth rarely found in club music. The vocals are often delivered in a deadpan, conversational style that feels intimate and direct, turning a dance track into a short story about love, loss, or urban isolation.
Start with the 'Boy Trouble' EP to hear their signature blend of catchy hooks and moody atmospheres. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the rhythmic consistency of electronic music but misses the emotional stakes and storytelling of a great singer-songwriter record.
Benoit & Sergio are a dance pop and house music duo composed of Benoit Simon and Benjamin "Sergio" Myers and based out of Washington, D.C. and Berlin. Their music has been described as an intelligent and often melancholy mix of pop and electronic music intended for dance but outside the mainstream of electronic dance music. They describe their sound as "dance pop with a slightly melancholy feel to it".
