Deviation boss Benji B has announced a supersize line-up for his forthcoming XOYO residency.

The 12-week residency kicks off in east London on April 4 with the Radio 1 DJ joined by grime MC Skepta and a yet-to-be-announced special guest, while Virgil Abloh plays upstairs. The next week it’s Floating Points and Four Tet, and on April 18 Todd Edwards and Zinc present an “old school set”.

Later highlights in the series include Zomby, Wiley and Kode9 on April 25, Pepe Bradock and Gilles Peterson on May 9, Leon Vynehall and Maurice Fulton on May 23 and the mighty Hudson Mohawke on June 6. Even chart-botherering producer Mark Ronson will be popping down to Old Street, playing on May 19.

There’s also a bonus, invite-only night to wrap the residency with Benji B playing all night and Goldie & Metalheadz Presents Blue Note upstairs.

Check out the full listings below and grab tickets now from Deviation and XOYO.
