Benga’s Essential Mix, broadcast on February 2, 2008, is a landmark moment in the history of dubstep. Coming off the back of his influential album Diary of an Afro Warrior, Benga delivered two hours of deep basslines, sharp percussion, and experimental rhythms that captured the raw energy of the scene at the time. The mix showcases not only his own productions — including iconic tracks like “26 Basslines” and “Night” with Coki — but also highlights collaborations with key figures like Skream, Coki, and Magnetic Man. Packed with exclusive dubs, remixes, and VIP edits, this set pushed dubstep from dark London clubs to a worldwide audience, helping to define a genre just on the brink of exploding globally.
“This week the current don of dubstep Benga is in the mix, he’s recently stormed the clubs with Coki and their track ‘Night.’ Expect to hear the best new music, from an artist, hotly tipped for 2008.”
