I don’t care if he hangs out with Skream/Benga or whoever, ” he spat, “it’s just pure nonsense to ruin a hardcore genre with gay synths, chopped chipmunk vocals and cheesy poppy shit just so you can make a shitload of money and be an icon to a fanbase that consists of 13 year old wannabe dubheads and doesn’t know shit about music.

About This Quote

The producer and DJ, Benga, has stated that he would rather make music for a hardcore crowd than for a DJ's crossover crowd. This quote explains the reasoning behind his choice of sonic direction. Benga is trying to bring back the original sound of dubstep, but instead of doing it by making music that is already done by others, such as Skream and Benga's fellow dubstep producers, he is creating his own sound. This way, he can continue to make his own sound and build upon it over time, instead of just making a copycat version of the sound that has already been made by others. By doing this, he is able to create something new and original instead of just making another version of what is already out there.
