Benga is a UK garage music producer from Coulsdon, and is part of the Big Apple Records label. He has been described as an important name in the development of the dubstep style for his fusion of the already existing South London dubstep sound with the newer East London born grime sound, and was also one of the first dubstep producers when the style was emerging in the early 2000s. He has been featured on a variety of compilations including Mary Anne Hobbs's The Warrior Dubz, Tempa's The Roots of Dubstep and the BBC 1Xtra anniversary mix.
Benga's first album, Diary of an Afro Warrior, is due to be released on Tempa on March 3, 2008. Resident Advisor has described it as "one of the most anticipated LPs in dubstep yet."
