Bene & Video Dave: Hip-Hop Across the Atlantic at Pohoda 2025
Bene is in Bratislava, and Dave is in Los Angeles. Over the summer, Bene sent a few of his beats to Dave, and Dave replied saying he liked them. So Bene sent over some more. Dave responded with raps of his own. The demos kept piling up until they decided, “Alright, let’s release this as an EP and do a few concerts to go with it.” The first of those concerts will be at Pohoda Festival.

Bene is one-quarter of the group Modré hory. As a rapper, he’s won three Radio_Head Awards—twice with Modré hory and once for a solo album. Over the years, he’s been involved in numerous music projects under various aliases (Bene, Peťo Tázok, Beny M, and René Gát).
Video Dave is one-third of the rap trio Previous Industries. An American rapper, beatmaker, television producer, and graphic designer, Dave is, in short, a multi talented creative.
Together, they’re Bene & Video Dave, and even they’re curious to see where their collaborative wanderings will take them. They’ll find out on their upcoming record, set to drop in spring 2025. Their new single “When The Day Comes” is a new song from their forthcoming project city&city, a journey through time where day turns to night, and Slovak intertwines with English. They’ve never seen ghosts, never seen angels—just playing digital ping-pong while creating hip-hop across the Atlantic.
We’re thrilled that Pohoda 2025 will give us the chance to experience, live for the first time, what it sounds like when two rappers from different continents join forces.
