Benji Boko - Where My Heart Is feat. Maxi Jazz
(Free Download/Digital Single) Tru Thoughts Recordings TRUDD022, 2011-05-23
In recent years Benji Boko has made a major impression with his 'Can I Mix It?' DJ shows , which he describes as "on the fly, off the cuff, completely improvised live remixing", and counts Rob Da Bank, Zane Lowe and DJ Yoda among his fans. From Bestival to V Festival and Ibiza to Amsterdam – not to mention the New Year's Eve midnight set at the O2, with Calvin Harris and Deadmau5 - Boko's show has been transporting people in their thousands from the 'norm' into a world of pure imagination. Benji Boko's magic touch as a producer was briefly seen in 2009 when his track Jungle VIP gained radio play across the world and shot to no. 16 in the iTunes electronic chart; now, having inked a deal with Tru Thoughts, he is set to unveil his full album. If the hyperactive, livewire DJ is one side of his personality, then Beats, Treats And All Things Unique (out 20th June) reveals another facet of Benji Boko's musical persona. As well as Maxi Jazz, other collaborators on the album include Ricky Rankin (Roots Manuva)... and Boko's seven-year-old cousin, Louis, who you'll hear on Intro and Outro duties. For the video to Where My Heart Is, Benji Boko is calling for talented visual artists to get involved in an ambitious creative project. Version 1 of the promo video, along with full competition details, will be launched on 20th April on the Tru Thoughts YouTube and benjiboko.com. Where My Heart Is feat. Maxi Jazz will be a free download on 23rd May from benjiboko.bandcamp.com. It will also be available to buy from all good download stores, including the bonus track, Glider.
