A quick heads up to fans of head-nodding beatmakers, hip-hop, soul and proper R&B, Radio 1Xtra DJ Benji B is DJing in Solas, Wexford Street tonight from 8:30pm. It’s FREE in. I’ve only been tuned into his show for the last few months really but he always plays a great mix of the above. Stuff like Gaslamp Killer, Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Sa-Ra, J Dilla, Madlib, Georgia Ann Muldrow, Bullion and Joker always gets a run out.
His Radio page is here (listen to the latest show) and his Deviation blog is here.
Here’s a tune he’s been playing lately out on Hyperdub on July 24th:
Wind It Up – Mark Pritchard & Om’mas Keith
