As a teenager he would visit the Big Apple record shop in Croydon where he was introduced to Skream, and together they would help forge the sound of dubstep emerging in the early 2000s.

[11] From January 2011, Benga joined BBC Radio 1 with Skream as part of 'In New DJs We Trust',[12] and presented a weekly Friday night show.

He premiered a new track "Psychosis" on the radio show, inspired by and to treat his psychological experiences, and was released in February 2018 on his new Illuminate record label.
