Bio
Benton is making a name for himself in the dubstep scene with his dark and brooding productions. He's released on labels like BoxClever and Biscuit Factory but he's most well known for his tracks on N-Type's Wheel & Deal imprint. How long have you been producing / DJing? I've been producing since 2007/2008 making jungle, grime, electro, house, that kind of stuff. I only properly got on it and took it seriously since I got my Mac last year. I've been DJing since 2009 when me, Unitz and our mate Luke started Subspotting in the town where we live. Still to this day I don't own a pair of decks! Need to invest really... How did you get into the music in the first place? Well, I've always been into music. I remember listening to old hardcore tapes and being about nine or something buying a pair of old Gemini decks. I had no idea what I was doing with them but I remember having a copy of Krust's Jazz Note, my mum hated me for constantly playing it! Back in school I was always getting in trouble for having one headphone in my ear listening to jungle tape packs. I remember hearing Wot's My Code's Dubplate on a Congo Natty tape and I never knew what the tune was but I knew exactly where in the tape it was and it got rinsed! I found it a couple years later and it's still a favourite to this day! So I guess it's just from music being an everyday part of my life since I was young.
