Hear Ben Khan's Radio 1 Maida Vale session in full

Ben Khan is still yet to play an actual gig in this country, but that hasn’t stopped him from making his live debut on national radio. He played a handful of tracks for Huw Stephens on Radio 1 in his first ever live radio session, showcasing cuts from the ‘1992’ EP and beyond.

Live, his full band set-up showcases more guitar licks (even the odd solo) in a more showy form of expression to the under ether aesthetic applied to his recordings.

Khan promises to play some shows in the future, his first being Pitchfork Paris this November.

Listen back to the session in full from the 35 minute mark onwards. He plays ‘Savage’, ‘Youth’ and ‘Drive’.
