If not, why not?

Benji B has become essential listening. When I've plugged his show in the past, it's been for a certain reason; special guest, amazing track, whatever. However, this takes away from the fact that for 2 hours Benji B plays some of the most interesting electronic music that you are yet to hear. No spinbacks and no MCing, he is becoming the perfect accompaniment to electronic music by letting the sounds breathe and letting them occupy their own space while he fits around them, the same way that MAH used to do.

Last nights show featured new Kode9, a Zomby & Actress colab, new Addison Groove and Radiohead. There were no annoying jingles and no shouted hype about it being the hottest record in the world, just well programmed radio.

God Bless the BBC.
