Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

He's just 21, but Beni Adejumo has been making dubstep records since the mutant grime/dub/breakbeat genre first emerged five years ago, and anticipation for his first LP has been building for a while.

With daytime radio play for its instrumental lead single, "Night", a syncopated yet simple and catchy confection of bleeps and bass, Benga may just be the one to nudge dubstep overground. 'Diary...' isn't particuarly polished in its production, but it is alternately spacious and busy in all the right places, dynamic, fiercely uncompromising and entirely accessible.
