Where in the world is Benga?

Just out of curiosity.. I know that he posted on his Facebook that he was getting married to the love of his life and his DJ carrer was finished... I haven't done to much research. Even though there is so much good music out there, this man was responsible for bringing me into the scene back in 2008-2009. Awesome humble man, great DJ, in my eyes a quality producer and a founder of this culture. Would be a sad day to official know that he is done for sure.

That doesn't sit right with me at all. How does one just 'retire" what he loves to do? I understand if he wants to take a break and stop touring.. but to just stop completely? I guess it is possible...

I'm assuming "what he loves doing" is making music,just cause he retired from DJing does't mean he is retiring from making tunes.You can do one without the other.

Yeah theres only so long you can go round the world getting drunk playing tunes.. especially if hes getting married/starting a family.

I wouldn't be surprised if hes signed to some big label to produce some watered down commercial music for people.. mans gotta get paid £$€! Probably retired the Benga 'alias' too.
