1 Comment / Benji B /

Sorry for the slow posting of this show! My modem is broken and the new one that I’ve ordered will not arrive until early next week. A reader was kind enough to give me this recording of the latest Benji B with Flying Lotus.
“Tonight Benji caught up with LA producer and pioneer of the beats scene Flying Lotus.

Find out:
– How he set about making the new album
– What he thinks about people copying his his sound
– Why jazz needs to move forward
– And why he is good at time management
plus hear new cuts from his forthcoming album ‘Cosmogramma’

Benji also payed tribute to the late Malcolm McLaren, who was a pioneer in bringing hip hop to the UK in the 1980s and passed away this week.

Plus new music from Big Boi, Gil Scott ft. Nas, Erykah Badu, Mim Suleiman and Funkineven and tracks from Krystal Klear, Ossie, Mosca, The Aural Exciters, Sucba, Dimlight and Illum Sphere.”

BBC 1Xtra Deviation / Soulful Beats Benji B 2010 02 07 J Dilla tribute special

1 Comment / Benji B /

Sorry about the delay. I’ve been away with my job for a few days in Kiel, Germany with the slowest internet connection ever, but here is the latest Benji B show.
“Benji paid tribute to a Hip Hop icon, James Yancey aka Jay Dee or J Dilla on his birthday, playing beats and songs from Dilla. Including a mix of samples that inspired Dilla’s production – 
We also heard from the likes of Mos Def, Karreim Riggins and J Rocc on what Dilla meant to them. All that plus new music from Erykah Badu, Harmonic 313 and Kyle Hall.”

BBC 1Xtra Deviation / Soulful Beats Benji B 2010 01 31 Bullion mix

Leave a Comment / Benji B, Dubstep, Electronic music /

Not sure if the BBC tracklist is correct..
“Benji B is back in the building with brand new music from Erykah Badu & Lil Wayne, Georgia Anne Muldrow & Declaim, Martyn, Erik L & Illingsworth, Roska, Krystal Klear, Silhouette Brown and Om Unit plus a world exclusive of Fatima’s new track ‘Soul Glo’ produced by Funkineven.
Plus we brought you a special guest mix from new London producer Bullion, showcasing some of the sounds that have influenced him..
Stateside, it was all about the Grammys which were unfolding as the show went on, so Benji did a little mix to celebrate the nominations for Mos Def, Q Tip, Lalah Hathaway and Robert Glasper.”
