Plan B

Not content with boasting a delicious stop-motion video for the infectious single, No Good, Ben Drew, aka Plan B also doles out a whole host of other beated-up tuneful grime garage loveliness.

He was tracking and mixing in Miloco’s Engine Room and down at The Square throughout the autumn and early winter of 2005 with none other than Paul Epworth producing.

Plan B returned to The Engine Room in 2009 with engineer Mark Rankin to mix material for his second album, the hugely successful ‘Defamation of Strickland Banks’.
