​Sam Binga

If you've been following Sam Binga over the last few years, you'll know that the Bristolian's got a thing for collaborations. Addison Groove, Fracture, Deft and Om Unit have all been musical teammates and, as though he feels safer when he's not alone, almost every tune on his debut LP features a vocalist or an MC.

Past collaborator Redders pops up a few times, as does Melé collaborator Slick Don who provides some vexed Brummie attitude on raucous bass cannon 'Run The Dance'.

That's the way most of the album goes: all ferocious basslines and rapid drums, bar the (kind of) calmer 'Stormy Weather' and 'Greatest Distance'.

Either way, the fact he's not alone only maximises the reading on the bang-o-meter.
