Wade Denes

Creative Director

Wade Denes spent 4 years working in Los Angeles for some of the biggest names and stations in radio. He spent nearly two years co-imaging KBIG 104.3 and KOST 103.5 while voicing for local commercials. His imaging and voice became well known in the market and during that time Wade also became well known as a producer working with notable talents like Jhani Kaye and Gary Spears.

In early 2006, Wade left Clearchannel when Jhani Kaye took over as Program Director for K-Earth 101 and brought Wade over to help program and produce. Wade dubbed over 300 songs for K-Earth and helped become responsible for what is considered the cleanest sounding Oldies station ever. His mixes became recognized by other Oldies stations and CBS soon began using his mixes on their other affiliates.

Wade eventually left CBS and has since worked for Dial Global and in 2007 he launched his own imaging company, Athos Audio, before finally joining the Benz Town Branding team.

He has imaged formats such as Classic Hits, Rock, CHR, Country, Jack, Talk, and Adult Standards in such markets as Miami, Atlanta, Boston, and Columbus, OH. After much prodding from colleagues, clients, and friends, Adam made the full fledged jump over to the other side of the microphone.

Andre Loehle
Assistant Producer

Born in the small city of Nordhausen, Andre Loehle responded the call of duty and rendered his civilian service in Hamburg at the age of 20. Andre developed a deep love for music and production in his younger years. He took out a loan, bought some turntables and a couple vinyls, immersed himself in the world of "playing with audio," and began pursuing a career in professional imaging and producing.
We met Andre, now living near Stuttgart, when he entered one of our production contests at benztownbranding.wordpress.com. Blown away by his extraordinary work ethic and his drive to always learn and improve, we gave him a chance to play with the big boys, and become part of the Benztown Family. He did not disappoint, and is now a sitting assistant producer for Benztown.
