Benji Boko wants Gorillaz collaboration - Female First

debut album, 'Beats, Treats, and all things Alone' in June - the dance musician is running on his ultimate musical goal of collaborating with the musician, wjho is a member of both Gorillaz and Blur.

He said: "I'd love to play with Damon Albarn and the Gorillaz - I haven't approached any of them yet because I'm not in a place for them to need to do that with me. I recognize that I'm not ready. Since then I've been running on bits and bobs with him and we're hopefully doing a few more collaborations and remixes so it's all good.

"I want to get a good remix and a very good album arsenal under my belt before I can do that because at the instant it feels like I don't take enough ammo. I want to get more ammunition and then I'll be in a place to get to those people but I definitely set my goals high and if Damon is reading - he needs to get in touch!"

The manufacturer has previously collaborated with a chain of artists including Roots Manuva, Beardyman and Deuce Eclipse - but he counts his biggest accomplishment to see as getting vocalist Maxi Jazz from Faithless on his single 'Where My Heart Is'.

He added: "I wasn't star struck by Maxi. He's such a decent and normal guy so that made it easy. We just hung out for the day in the studio and went to follow the expression one in Brighton - then went back to the studio and recorded before he drove back up to London.

"Since then I've been running on bits and bobs with him and we're hopefully doing a few more collaborations and remixes so it's all good."

Benji's debut album 'Beats Treats and All Things Unique' is out now.

The Essex Boy Review: GORILLAZ – G Sides (!00!)

GORILLAZ - G Sides (2002)

I thought Blur were pretty prolific back in the 1990s, putting loads of weird and wonderful stuff on their CD single extra tracks. But as for Damon Albarn in Noughties?! He`s proved nearly inconceivable to hold up with and the constant high measure of the music he puts out is pretty damn incredible!

This album should be weak really.

stray cat blues. What goes on:

I've been playing Gorillaz's Plastic Beach quite frequently, as unknown as that may be. Brought on by the recruiting of Mick Jones and Paul Simonon, as good as a possible live review in my near future, I find Plastic Beach oddly mesmerizing. I've come to really respect Damon Albarn (I should mention I love aught about Blur) and his elaborate vision.
