Bside Incoming: Bena

Bside Incoming: Bena We’re back with another episode of the Bside podcast (#163), this time with an exciting DJ, selector and broadcaster based in London: Bena While regularly featuring on Peckham’s much loved radio station Balamii, and appearing behind the booth of some of London’s most estimes venues (Corsica Studios, Brilliant Corners, The Cause, Venue MOT), Bena has also began his own event series called Shedding Histories at Grow Hackney. The project aims at creating the most musically open dance floors in the capital, which will come as little surprise after hearing the great diversity of Bena’s record collection. Beginning with the dreamy sounds of Brazil, and moving through soul, funk, and jazz from across the globe, before settling into some hypnotically deep house with all the influences you’d expect from his earlier selections. From his first reggae 45 to some more recent purchases, we’re treated to a Bside journey intertwined with exceptional knowledge and passion for each track.
