can someone please tell me which is which, which are coming out and are they all going to be on big apple?
there are literally too many to keep track of and i think i want pretty much all of them. n-type is wicked for playing them but never says what they're called! i think probably because he doesn't know either!
help benga please.

Comb 60s/Killers About are older tunes that were on the Gutterbreakz mix; you can get the mp3/FLACs from bleep already but the vinyl isn't out yet. It should be out 25th September. Also Hatcha/Benga 10 Tons Heavy/Progression should be out October 2nd, again older tunes.
The new Benga tunes are the ones with the distinctive "slappy" snare sound. I think things have got really confused cos of N-Type's "eccentric" tune IDing. As far as I can make out the following tunes exist:
Duel - has a little chime melody
Flames - breaky drums, lots of beeps, apocolyptic synths, sounds a bit like Judgement Remix
Still Rockin' - not that new, been on Benga's myspace for a while
Middleman - deep skanking rhythm with hi-hats galore
Live Drumz/Live Drummage - er, got live drums. My favourite of the new tracks. Fuuuuuuuunky
Wobblerz - very wobbly.
Evolution - Rhodes keys arpeggiated, breaky drums
The above are gonna be on the Big Apple double pack. The below...who knows?
King of Kings - sounds like the Naked Gun theme. With bass.
The Germ - can't remember what this one is like
Tron Project - starts with a monkey cry and has big buuuuuuuuuuuuuuh bass drops. Sounds a bit like Benga & Walsh - Spooksville. Very good.
Africa's Cry - starts with a really quick arpeggiated thingy weaving in and out and then has...an cry that sounds more like a child than anything african. And buuuuuuuuuuuuuuu bass.
Dubclap - this has been rinsed, claps and bass innit.
Then:
Judgement Remix with Skream - got THE Benga snare sound though, one of the biggest tunes about
Blues (Crazy D vocal) - not coming out it seems
World War 7 Vocal with Coki - raaaah raaaah raaaah
There's one Benga only tune with a tinkly synth melody which I don't think is covered..sorry I can't come up with any better descriptions than those above.

sterling effort nonetheless
seriously, though, the man needs to release another DIY album (or 2) like 'newstep'; although, its great that hes gettin more "major" label support like planet mu and big apple.
'evolution' is nasty good, and more coki collabs would be nutso.

Just listened to N-Type/BunZero/Walsh again and it's just confused things more! What Skream announced as King of Kings (Naked Gun theme), N-Type calls The Germ. And there's a whole new track that N-Type calls King of Kings - a really laid back number with synth stabs that sound like brass, and live bass guitar.
Isn't there also one called Bengal or Jah Benga or something? MENNNNN-tal!

if I had money and time I'd be all over these!
Benga is a badman...anyone at FWF in Brussels know what I think of his production skills!

benga is just unreal, he can turn out so many big tracks, the quality is amazing!
Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2006 11:33 am
by thinking
can anyone ID the tune with only one snare per 4 bars (quarterstep??) with the little jazzy brass sample in it?
It drops at 29:15 in that all-Benga mix (link:
