Big ups to Bengal for putting in so much hard work early on especially how young he is and creating some great tunes. He is talked about djing so let's hope he keeps on producing.

Considering his present day efforts, maybe it's good... ;)

I thought he already quited the game tbh. :lol: But big ups Benga for his work in the early days.

And also thanks for being real instead of doing a Oli.

tbh i think benga was going to make movements anyway, his last album was a 100% flop and universally shat on by a lot of his fans, various magazines online and in print. it's a pity in chapter II he didn't stick to his roots and actively catered for the EDM kids instead.

i still like most of bengas tunes, and one of my favourite dub plates will always be "industrial problem" (or "problem industrial", out to those that know!)

it's a sad day for dubstep really, because whether you liked him or not he still was a major influence on the overall sound. maybe he'll come back on swamp or something one day

I bet he's actually sat in his yard pissing himself at all the hype. Quitting producing is the new black for 2014.

He hasn't made anything note worthy for ages. But! Has some seriously sick unreleased dubs from back in the day. Urban fox?

Was wondering if something was up when he didn't show up to Getdarker on Friday, even though some of Benga's new stuff is a bit rubbish he's made some classic tunes and it's a bit disappointing I'll never get the chance to see him play now. Joker replaced him on the lineup with a sick set though (and dropped some Benga tunes as well) so wasn't too bad. Good luck to Benga with his girl anyway.
