Shuffle presents Foreign Beggars + Benji B

We cannot call Foreign Beggars greedy, because they spoil us rotten. But that does not stop them from using multiple genres in their music. Hip-Hop, Grime and Dubstep. They are bringing their full live show to Plug, for what will be a very special experience.

Today the group line up on stage as Orifice Vulgatron, Metropolis and DJ Nonames often with UK Beatbox Champion MC Zani or THePETEBOX. Guest appearances from long time collaborators of the group and Dented recording artists Kyza and Dr Syntax have also become a regular occurrence.

Having successfully changed the face of, UK hip hop in the last decade, Foreign Beggars’ recent output has been a genre-defying blend of their former machinations and speaker-busting, dancefloor rumbling dance music produced by the hottest artists around. 2009’s ‘Contact’ (3,000,000 views on YouTube), taken from their third album, saw them combine furious London-fuelled flows with Noisia’s crunching electro backbone - the start of what has become Foreign Beggars’ new obsession; fusing hip hop with dance music.

This year sees the Beggars releasing ‘The Harder They Fall’ EP, the first in a three part series on Never Say Die Records, produced by some of the most in-demand artists on the planet. Featuring six Foreign Beggars collaborations with Alix Perez, Mensah, Lazer Sword, Medison, Ruckspin, Black Sun Empire and Skrillex, their debut Never Say Die EP hits the 140bpm tempo straight between the eyes, offering a range of styles and flavours that could loosely be described as dubstep, without the superfluous connotations that the mere name of the genre now evokes.

Benji B is a unique DJ, renowned for his unprecedented selections and distinctive style. Seamlessly drawing from several genres at once; in a single set you’ll hear brand new dubs and classic tunes side by side, the most cutting edge House, Dubstep and Funky tracks, Disco/Soul and Boogie.

In 2002 Benji was invited to host his own show on BBC’s 1Xtra Radio station when the station launched. After 7 years, the weekly show moved to it’s prestigious 3-hour Sunday night slot. Playing a wide selection of brand new underground music, he touches on the genres of Hip Hop, House, Soul, Electronic, Detroit Techno, Dubstep, Boogie, Disco, while inviting his favourite guests to put together a mix for the show or join in the studio for an interview.
