Benga

Tempa, London

Benga Adejumo is a 21-year-old dubstep producer from Croydon, South London. He's the one to blame for the legion of people humming the narcotically addictive beeping line from his soon-come Tempa release with fellow steppah Coki. That 'bo bo bo boo boo boo boo'- bleep call? It's called 'Night'. He's been on the scene since the tender age of 13 when he first went to lynchpin night, FWD>> to hear his debut track 'Skank' being spun by Hatcha. A slew of influential tracks followed - his spooky, heavy early teen collaboration with Skream, titled Judgement; reggae-sampling unreleased gems like 'World War 7' and 'The Fittest'; and tracks that match his plugged-into-the-mainframe DJ style like the head-blowing, tempo-shattering 'Crunked Up'. He's ready to blow.
