PLR EXCLUSIVE BENNY BADGE/FREEKWENCY MIX & INTERVIEW

Another week at Paradise Loft Radio and we have been blessed with a very special guest. For you who know him know that he throws down a mean set of electrifying 80's soul and produces a groove to have you hummin' for weeks. For you that dont, our guest is a gentleman who goes by a range of different names, but we know him as Benny Badge.

When you are spending as much time as this brother hunched over a synth you know its gonna lead to the production of a whole pile of music. In Benny's case not only is there a plethora of releases to come but it is all authentic boogie heat!

I have been privileged enough to have worked with Benny, collaborating  on the Freekwency release, Flip The Coin. I've seen first hand his dedication to the groove and pure love and sacrifice for his creations.

On this programme Benny has thrown down a mix of tunes for us all with his signature flavour of the lovers groove. Expect syncopation, cowbell, drum machines melting and an interview which will help you gain a little insight into the man that is Benny Badge.
