Coming back here 10y later and loving it as if it were the first time. A real gem, im actually glad I didn't listen to it in 10y, so I can discover it all again. And I'm even more pleased I made it back here for some random reason ❤

listened to this show live and it was big...... actually watching it and the talent that is on show is amazing! big up the string orchestra. I know some of the views are these guys looking back at their handy work so thank you for bringing another element to this already seemingly tight piece of music. As listeners we really appreciate your talent and dedication. Big up the conductor skanking for the full hour!
he is DJing. very well infact, as its not about what hes doing but about the music, the curation and cohesiveness of it all, the idea is great and it sounds wonderfully in execution
This is one of my favorite songs by Dwele...love this interpretation. Only enhanced the original version. Think I'm gonna have to tune in to this show more often.
This is fucking amazing, the bpm raise with Ayo Technology to Out In The Streets to Higher Ground was stooooopid nice. When the whole set comes in is just so perfect.
You say this, and i agree. He did have the idea and we didn't. However we're still allowed to have opinions about what we've heard. Some people will like it, some wont. It is beautiful, I agree with you. But it doesn't matter if people think they can do better or not, they're still allowed to have their opinions.
yup, agreed. they could've done trickier arrangements, but you gotta admit,they did a good job in being relatable and still sounding damn good. i like what they did in the earlier transitions, and opening and closing in the same key, and dat fingerz in drake's song... they're good, just underutilized...

Man...I really love people who push the creative limits...thank u benji for always keeping it real.
Holy shiii, Jazzy Jeff actually commented on this. You are an absolute legend yourself and I've read all about you in Will Smith's book!
wow all these times i didn't know it was THE Jazzy Jeff who commented!
still loving this in 2019
2022 baybeee!
Man, I've spent the last few weeks trying to remember what to search to find this again... as good as I remember it being 10 years on!
this is my working from home jam, I think I've listened to this at least 100 times over the last few years.
Adding a little majesty to foot-pumping modern music. This is bloody superb.
Do the Astral Plane is amazing.
This is probably the best musical experience I've ever had tbh. Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it..
One of the best mixes I've heard in a long time. The last couple tracks with Jeremih and Raphael Saadiq just blows minds. ♡

i listen to this in my car all the time ....its SO GOOD. Even without the ensemble, the compilation is solid.
I share this with everyone special to me. I love this so much
Benji B is single handily the best thing to ever grace radio 1. This is up there with miguel atwood-fergusons' suite for ma dukes..Brilliant
This group is fantastic! The sound is hip and the beats drivin' and fresh.
Ayo Technology (Instrumental) sounded perfect
We need a download for this. This is too precious only to keep it on youtube.
I love the conductor. So much enthusiasm. He just purely loves the music.
This is simply absolutely beautiful.
Amazing, so glad I found this

This is wonderful.
the tune labelled as Silo Pass in the video is actually Gabryelle Refix by D-Malice
it then goes on to lead into Silo Pass
This is pretty amazing.
That's beautiful.
I sat and watched the whole 52:38 , and the next song is better than the last one, great work!!!
that transition at 14:30ish right there
I almost cried when they were performing "Do the Astral Plane". I love that song
straight upppp and down. Loved this!
sick, both this and Flowdan orchestra thing recently have been levels
Great stuff!
please release this as an album.
amazing. love it.
I'm enjoying this.
This is so damn awesome
Loving this Mr B, strings are so adaptable, for those saying its easy, try it and lets be the judge because its a damn site harder than it all looks.
"All the time" ... Goosebumps @ 39:00... Sublime.
Great idea and well executed.
Beautiful display of Musicianship :)
AMAZING!
This is mind blowing ..
just awesome
Fantastic.
He's just someone making something beautiful
So soulful
It is enjoyable to listen to.
I need this on my iPod!!!!
Benji B's 1xtra radio show brought me here!!!
You say this, and i agree. He did have the idea and we didn't. However we're still allowed to have opinions about what we've heard. Some people will like it, some wont. It is beautiful, I agree with you. But it doesn't matter if people think they can do better or not, they're still allowed to have their opinions.
So good, would've loved to have seen a brass section for Higher Ground.
Absolutely love the crossover no need for hate APPRECIATE!
The strings over fuck you all the time is a winner. The entire thing is sweet, much better than the quartet he did
05:12 when the conductor's really getting into it 05:50 he's loving it
Holy awesome!
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!!
amazingness!
fresh is the only word that comes to mind at the moment.
incredible

what a brilliant idea! i need an mp3 (or better audio quality) download. i'd pay for this one, video and audio. go Benji!
Love the composer in this
now this is a cool live show
Still amazing!

Immense. Snapped my neck around Higher Ground.
Raphael Saadiq - Skyy Can You Feel Me made me cry.
