SBOY 034EP

"'Ho' and 'One & Only' is the debut collaboration from Youngman & Benga, and we're told it's the first of many! For those unfamiliar with the name, Youngman is indeed young, but has grafted from his early teens and had notched up an impressive CV of global gigs and tours with the likes of Bassline Smith & Drumsound, and a discography that includes collaborations with Skream, Crissy Criss, Bassline Smith, Drumsound, and outings on labels including V Recordings, Tempa, Ganja, Westbay, Technique, Ministry and Chronic. For those who have been living on the moon and may not be aware of the name Benga, then here goes: one third of dubstep super group Magnetic Man, global touring partner in crime for over a decade to Skream, Rinse FM resident, global ambassador for all things 140 BPM and the face (and afro) of the dubstep movement. He recently dropped Stop Watching/Little Bits on Digital Soundboy and scored a top 10 hit with Magnetic Man's 'I Breath Air.' OK then. Youngman and Benga are now also a force on the club and festival circuit, with Youngman joining Benga on a number of selected dates across the UK and Europe. This mighty double A-side release is the duo's debut offering of smooth, soulful vocals and progressive, tension building beats. Now signed to Shy FX's Digital Soundboy label, Skream, Breakage, Shy, DJ Yasmin and many more are battering it during their DJ sets and Mista Jam recently made it his 'Jam Hot Record Of The Week' on 1Xtra. So there you have it! Youngman & Benga, the story begins."
