He was playing some nifty stuff on Saturday night.
did you reach or catch the stream?
have we met? i can never remember anything! lol
@ paul - the title is inspired isn't it.
the sequence of tracks on this is what i'm very interested it. most tracks have been made with the album in mind, but it's how it works as a collected whole which will make or break the record.
very tricky for an instrumental / dance record to work as a themed, conceptual, narrative thing. just think of the very very few example of this working.
i think it will just be a collection of tracks and we all know what to expect from benga tracks. but i hope that the album flows and makes some sort of sense as an lp
the title is really good but these types of albums (skream, plastician, etc) dont seem to work all that well, no. i cant help thinking that a benga *mixed* cd of new and old tracks might work better than 10-12 tracks of new stuff thats meant to be listened to as an album.

isn't that kinda in the very nature of hype though? (no pedanto)
i am still waiting for any dj set to sound as good as benga's 8-bar set at DOTS this year. i fear i will be waiting a while. sigh.
recall benny saying something about early next year release date.
also remember something vaguely from a while back about skream and benga collaborating on a techno lp anyone know if this is still happening?

yeh, i've been wondering about that too. hope it didn't get sidelined.
Benga is a
badman also
'Night' has only just got me
there's some deeper parts to the tune that you'll only get if you know...if you get me lol? maybe he did it by accident - who knows?
on the J Da Flex set I was typing about in the dubstep thread, Flex talks about a collaboration there supposed to do coming out through Deekline - what happened to that?
also there's a track he did with two mc's where he plays guitar I think (it might've been a joke) called 'Time Is Money' - where did that end up?

dunno about a techno LP specifically, but I hear of an interesting collabo coming in the new year.
