Benji B has established himself as one of the major players in the world’s underground progressive music scene.

For the past seven years he’s being doing his own two hour show on BBC 1Xtra playing the latest and greatest music from dubstep and hiphop to house and soul and everything in between while inviting some of the very best artists to the show for interviews and exclusive mixes ranging from Juan Atkins to J Rocc and Dorian Concept to Kode 9.

Over the years Deviation has become absolutely essential listening for fans of deep underground music both in the UK, and via the Internet, across the globe.

Alongside his weekly BBC show on 1Xtra Benji has been running his club night Deviation Sessions in the East London’s Gramaphone for almost two years. Each month he installs a bespoke soundsystem on which have played the likes of Flying Lotus, J Davey, Martyn and Skream to Moodymann, Dam-Funk and many more. It is now widely regarded as one of the very best club nights in London.

When asked to describe his DJ’ing style, Benji B refuses to be pigeonholed, but is clear about what he wants to achieve: “I guess you could say it ranges between 85 and 140 bpm!
