Tomorrowland’s Friendship Mix is taken care of by Benwal
Tune in for an exclusive one-hour mix on One World Radio.
From underground raves to jam-packed stages, Gijs van Ringen, known as Benwal, is a Dutch DJ who is quickly rising in the industry. Few have taken the fast lane as fiercely as Gijs.
Emerging from his deep roots in Groningen's nightlife, he has stormed stages across Europe and Australia, celebrating euphoric festival homecomings.
He began his career in 2017 with the EP Speech of the Ashes. Tracks like "Rush (I Don't Wanna Wait)" have been supported by artists like Amelie Lens.
For seven years and counting, Benwal has put in the work from hours of geek talk and music digging with friends to endless studio sessions with production partner Jonathan Kruizenga.
This hard-won attitude allows him to thrive during all-nighters, move across genres through unexpected B2Bs, and blend styles to create fresh, meaningful connections in both music and life. Benwal has collaborated with big names like Armin van Buuren.
He performs at festivals like Tomorrowland and Complex Festival. Benwal also made an appearance at CORE Medellín and will also perform at CORE Los Angeles this weekend.
Tune in this Thursday for his Tomorrowland Friendship Mix
