Dubstep innovator Benga released his new album, Chapter II, yesterday. It’s his third solo album, and, explaining how his work producing Katy B and Magnetic Man has influenced the new LP, he says: “With ‘Katy On A Mission’ and ‘I Need Air’ I learnt how to tighten the structure of what I was doing. I learnt that you can use as many crazy sounds, beats and chords as you like and take people with you. What I’m doing now you wouldn’t even call dubstep … The only thing I can call it is Benga music. It is what sounds exactly right to me.”
