The leading light of the infamous Bristol Hi-Fi crew, Mr Benn has cut some of the freshest and funkiest records to come from anywhere in recent months finding favour with the biggest names in alternative beats and bobs with Mr Scruff, DJ Yoda, Sinden, Steinski and Black Grass among those that just couldn’t get enough.
Mr Benn’s talent isn’t confined to production work. His skill as a DJ and selector have seen his inspired mixes broadcast on Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel radio show and led to him gracing the turntables of many a sweaty club. A regular fixture in Bristol, you can catch Benn DJing as part of the Bristol Hi-Fi collective alongside Massive Attack’s Daddy G, Queen Bee and MC Souls Liberation. As well as keeping his locals happy, Mr Benn is no stranger to taking in exotic trips to far-flung dance floors.
