Benji B & J Rocc

I'll be the first to admit I was dubious when Benji B took over from Mary Anne Hobbs, it was like a new pet replacing your favourite old one. Yeah it was good but it wasn't the original. Luckily, every week since, Benji B has gone out of his way to prove me utterly and completely wrong with equally brilliant music, great special guests and a presenting style that is completely his own - exactly what I loved in MAH.

Last night was no different with turntablist extraordinaire J Rocc co-hosting and in the mix for a whole hour. The whole show is bright and breezy in keeping with J Rocc's choices and his own styles whilst still previewing some great cuts from his upcoming album, some old school hip hop via modern electronica including Actress and Ramadanman.

Listen again here until next week

Oh, and in case that wasn't enough, next week's show will be hosted by Fly Lo doing a Brainfeeder special.

Wow. BBC know how to make unmissable radio.
