Benji B Presents Deviation Classics

Benji B and Judah are synonymous with all things UK Bass music after championing the sound on their radio shows, club nights and now on this latest complication release. Deviation Classics is an ode to his legendary club night "Deviation" which provided a space for many deconstructed club tracks to become classics. Songs such as Lil Silva - Seasons & Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo became peak-time floor fillers for the Deviation regular ravers whilst also providing a space for selectors like Flying Lotus to express themselves in front of an open minded audience.

Deviation Classics celebrates the legacy of the legendary London club night and record label created by Benji B and Judah in 2007. Famously "one of London's most aurally audacious nights”, Benji B’s Deviation is a name synonymous with music and at the forefront of London’s culture scene and within music internationally.

The collector’s box will include four 12” vinyl including 20 carefully selected tracks, many of which have previously been unavailable on vinyl or hard to find and all capturing those key moments from the past 13 years. The compilation will also be accompanied by an exclusive mix curated by founder Benji B marking the end of this chapter for Deviation, the mix will be available to purchase on CD and streamed or downloaded on Bandcamp and all major digital platforms.


Spanning all genres of music, the compilation comprises tracks from Moodymann, James Blake, Joy Orbison and Flying Lotus and many more from across Deviation’s impressive roster of guests. Though several of the tracks went on to become hits, all of them became part of Deviation’s regular playlist and are now considered to be part of the Deviation DNA - a club night that has its own sound, its own hits and its own classics. The tracks highlight how the best club residencies can hone and shape their own identity, where reactions from the dance floor can influence which tracks make it into the resident sets to become future classics, and how a single tune can conjure the nostalgia of an era, venue, place and time.

Including regular staples from Benji B’s resident sets, the DJ comments: “This album showcases the tunes that got the biggest reactions month after month, drawn from my sets at Deviation over the years. They would not only be my choice, but also the choice of the Deviation regulars. Not all of these were necessarily big tunes outside of the club night – some would go on to be, but some could be 12-inch B-sides, album cuts or unreleased dubplates that went off when dropped for the very first time, and then became our own classics: all certified Deviation anthems in their own way

Benji B presents Deviation Classics is out now and is available through his bandcamp.

  • Nifemi Marcus-Bello for Globetrotter Lab

    Nifemi Marcus-Bello for Globetrotter Lab

    Lagos-based industrial designer and artist Nifemi Marcus-Bello has brought his solo exhibition, “Material Affirmations – ORÍKÌ Acts I–III,” home, following a successful tour across the world. The show also proves to be a hometown favorite and has recently been extended for one week until January 17th, due to popular demand. Revolving around material and identity, “Oríkì” is a look at the past, present, and future through an exploration of bronze, aluminum, and copper. Named after a practice of praise poetry in the Yoruba culture, the show is a labor of love that took Nifemi around three-and-a-half years to complete. Coming back to Nigeria is a full circle moment for Nifemi, who draws from African traditions and finds his inspiration in his family. Speaking with Globetrotter Lab’s Kennedy Ashinze, Nifemi shares his views on the art landscape in Nigeria, his vision for open-source design, and more.

  • Edson Sabajo for Globetrotter Lab

    Edson Sabajo for Globetrotter Lab

    For the first Visions of Visionaries instalment of 2026, Globetrotter Lab sits down with a true pillar of global street culture: Edson Sabajo, co-founder of Patta.Founded in 2004 by Edson and Guillaume "Gee" Schmidt, Patta has grown from a local Amsterdam boutique into a world-renowned independent ecosystem. The "Architecture of Independence" is their manual—a blueprint that prioritised cities like Milan and Lagos over the traditional industry hubs of Paris and Berlin. Built on Surinamese roots and a "people-first" philosophy, Patta remains the definitive case study on how a brand can scale globally while remaining fiercely sovereign.Recorded at Suudu Lagos—the members-only creative hub and home to Patta affiliates—this three-part series deconstructs the Patta manual. In Part 1, Edson reflects on the 360-degree journey from his heritage back to the African continent, and the raw energy he witnessed firsthand on the ground in Jakarta.

    Shunter – A New Space in Rotterdam

    Housed in a former NS warehouse next to Rotterdam-Zuid station, this raw industrial hall—rails still running across the floor—is being transformed into a new home for music, art, and experimentation.Founded by Sanne, Mark, and Onno, Shunter responds to a growing lack of space for electronic music, light art, performance, and work that lives between club and gallery—especially in Rotterdam-Zuid, where creative energy is high but structural space is scarce.Shunter will open about one weekend per month, with room in between for try-outs, experiments, and ideas still taking shape. The goal is to open this spring. To make that happen, the space needs basic infrastructure: toilets, a bar, sound insulation, and visitor facilities. €75,000 is required in total—€40,000 still needs to be raised through crowdfunding. Want to help bring Shunter to life? Donate if you can. Share the campaign. Talk about it. Or roll up your sleeves and help build.
