Benga's Gear
"Really, all I use is Logic. So I can use Logic anywhere, in any studio..."(1:29)
Because Logic Pro 9 was released between 2009 and 2010, and this video was recorded in 2012 (a year prior to the release of Pro X, which has a redesigned interface), it makes sense that the latest version Benga can be using here is 9.

"I used... Albino to create this. This is most probably a preset..."
Benga uses this synthesizer multiple times during his video with Future Music. It appears clearly on his screen at the 1:29 mark.
In the video he shows some beats made in FL Studio. Don't know exactly which version but it's definitely FL Studio.

In this YouTube video, Benga's studio uses an old Cinema HD screen.
At 16:54 you can see Benga using albino and showing how he uses it to make his wobble sounds.
Find it on:
Benga, performing as part of the trio Magnetic Man, wears a pair of TMA-2 DJ Preset headphones as he mixes in this Facebook photo.
1:35 into his video with Scion, Benga points out rather specifically that he uses the M-Audio Keystation 61es in his studio.
"...halfway between some monitors, these Adam monitors which are actually quite good..."
A zoom-in on Benga's studio monitors demonstrates that they are specifically the Adam S3A models.
At the :14, 1:19, and particularly the 1:21 times in this video of Benga's studio, the Big Knob can be spotted amongst his equipment. At 1:21, the camera zooms in on the Big Knob logo and shows other features of its interface.
"At the moment, I have Maschine open..." True to his word, at the 1:55 mark in this video, Benga uses Maschine to create a drum pattern for a track. It can be seen on his computer screen at this time as well.
Benga can be seen using Sylenth1 multiple times during this video, starting at the 1:50 mark, and most clearly at the 3:46 mark in which the synthesizer's logo and interface are most prominently featured.
Find it on:
Benga has a window with Vanguard open in it at the 1:47 mark of this video. The signature green "LCD" panels can be seen to the left of its shield-like logo.
In this photo, Benga uses the CDJ-2000s in his live show with Magnetic Man. There appears to be only four buttons to the left of the screen interface, which would suggest that it is not the Nexus model.
In this photo of Benga performing as part of Magnetic Man, he is performing on a Pioneer mixer. While the model is not entirely clear, one may notice that there appear to be only four blue buttons on the left-hand side of the unit; additionally, only one small orange light seems to be lit on the right side of several un-lit (gray) buttons. If it was the 900 model, there would be one large button directly beneath the blue buttons; seeing as this is not the case, it's reasonable to conclude that this mixer is the 850 model.
In this video from Future Music Magazine, Benga can be seen working in front of a Tapco 6306. The clearest shot of the Tapco can be seen at 15:20.
In a BBC 2003 video by GetDarker, Benga is shown creating a Grime beat using Music 2000 on a PlayStation One, confirming his use of the software. He also talks about using Music 2000 in his RedBull academy interview
In an early setup of Benga's studio, the Akai MPC 3000LE is prominently featured, as seen in the YouTube video titled "Benga makes a Grime beat on Playstation music 2000 - BBC 2003," provided by GetDarker.
