It’s been a massive year for the one like Benji B, who not only kept London moving better than Boris ever could with the capital’s best monthly party, Deviation, but also replaced Mary Anne Hobbs as he got moved from BBC 1Xtra to Radio 1. Benji’s end-of-year radio shows have always been the sort of mixes you tape or download and keep for posterity, and this year is no exception. With four hours of essential records from James Blake to Gil Scot Heron to Girl Unit to Ramadanman to Rick Ross and Kanye West, you can grab part one here and part two here. We’ve been really enjoying them over here, and we hope you do too.
Benji also kindly answered some generic end-of-year questions for us… He did well considering!
