Hello from Benji
I'm thrilled to have made the move from BBC Radio 1Xtra to my new slot on Radio 1, 2-4am Wednesday nights into Thursday morning. Having been part of the 1Xtra family for eight years since the day the station went on the air in 2002, it's a blessing to be able to bring my loyal 1Xtra listeners with me to my new slot, as well as welcoming a whole new audience on Radio 1.
For those who aren't familiar with the music that I play, check the show on iPlayer and you will find that I try to represent future music across a variety of credible genres. In terms of dance, think of it as the deeper side of club music, whether that be house, hip-hop, dubstep, beats or electronic.
I've always endeavored to support emerging artists whether it be Flying Lotus, James Blake, Floating Points, Roska or Magnetic Man and the specialist output on Radio 1 has always been crucial in breaking new acts. It's a privilege to be part of this family.
