Benga the mc?

Post by profound » Fri Jul 24, 2009 12:42 pm

I saw Benga yesterday @ vooruit in Ghent (Belgium).
Incredible set!!

Before Benga, it was Starkey that was using the decks (great set as well, maybe a bit too wobly though), and I heard an mc, but I didn't see anyone on the stage except for Benga......with a mic!
He wasn't all that bad either!

Question is: is this happening more and more lately? Is everyone going N-type style? Have you seen any other dj's doing this?
Thoughts about it?

Needs to happen!

This!

He's often the victim of haters saying he's way too commercial lately, which is ridiculous imo.

Hate the haters I say!
And big ups Benga.
