Benga has revealed on his Facebook that we can expect a new Magnetic Man album early next year.

This will, no doubt, come as welcome news to fans who caught the dub-step pioneers for one of their much-admired Parklife performances earlier this year. This is also good news for Summafieldayze, Summadayze and Field Day attendees, who might get treated to some of the new material when Skream and Benga head our way this summer for their festival tour.

Benga also told fans he’s working on his own solo album, and that he “can’t wait to give a drop date”.

So what can expect from the new material? Answering questions from his fans on Facebook, Benga gave a few things away. When asked where he sees his sound going in the next few years, Benga responded “I don’t know, things are changing so fast at the moment, it’ll still be my original twist to things, I could never leave that behind”. As for if he’ll ever start producing songs like his early material again, the Croydon native answered “Maybe one day! It’s all about experimenting”.

Questions Benga chose not to answer included “What is the purpose of life?” “Can you smoke with me..?” and “Can you read minds?” We can only wonder.
