Pre-Order New Album

Verdance - Sympathy

We've something a little different on this week's TGL. Today's episode is dedicated to the girls of our time. 40 minutes of euphoria, femininity and pure fire, which kicks off with a very very very special record of the week.

Elsewhere in FOT land I put together a little portfolio of some of my work over the years. If anyone would like to collaborate or work together on a creative project, please feel free to reach out. You can watch it here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f915K77408BIJJjqDpTv18G1lqvM9ADO/view?usp=share_link

TGL E290: Girls of Our Time

Last week's episode of The Guestlist was dedicated to all things feminine. This week it's the boys turn. Short, sharp and sweet (that's what she said). Expect a hit of amped-up, whisky soaked adrenaline and hey.... there's even a new Fear of Tigers demo at the end. Some strong language here and there in this week's edition. You have been warned!

TGL E291: Boys Make Noise

dorothy - lift - extended mix

On this week's podcast, there's new FOT, Carly Rae Jepsen and a blinding record of the week from Slayyter. Plus, a brief snip of an interview I did this morning with one of the Blog House legends Diamond Cut who as been MIA for the last 10 years.

Hope all are well this week - don't forget to come and say hello so I can give you a mention next week, and if you'd like to join our secret Discord forum, the link is on my Patreon page.

TGL 309: The Best Records of 2023 - Let's Bust Some Butts!

TGL 314: And the Next President Is...

I’m Benjamin, a Japanese born, UK based writer, composer and musical director. I’ve written and produced music for movies including The Shallows with Blake Lively and TV shows such as The View. I’ve created and choreographed pieces for Germany’s Next Top Model with Heidi Klum and created original compositions for brands such as Victoria’s Secret, and Avon with Yasmin Le Bon. Elsewhere my compositions and productions have been featured on a number of TV shows such as Love Island USA and movies including Rough Night with Scarlett Johansson. 

As a producer and remixer I’ve worked with and for artists such as Max Richter, Ellie Goulding, LeAnn Rimes and Kylie Minogue. In a previous life I was a DJ and music journalist, spending five years as the Managing Editor of Yahoo! Music UK, creating original content with artists including Calvin Harris and Lily Allen.

As a Musical Director I’ve recently completed a forthcoming movie called Corazon City, set in the city of San Antonio, Texas, working with a diverse range of musicians and creators from the electronic, Latino and urban community.

Outside of music I’m a former fellow of the Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg where I built prototypes and concepts for exhibitions and installations. I’ve also worked in the third sector on a range of issues including social mobility, the gender gap and BAME representation. I studied at The University of Westminster in London, completing a Masters Degree in Music Business Management.

I love the push and pull of collaboration and seeing a creative work take shape. My approach is based around listening to my co-creators and giving them space so the work can develop spontaneously. I love the unexpected, unplanned turns a work can take, nurturing it as it gains a momentum and energy of its own. In the words of the playwright Alan Bennett: 

“You don’t put yourself into what you write, you find yourself there.”
