Eskimo Recordings is proud to present the new Paramount EP of temporarily China based disco advocate Blende. 

Early support from Oliver, Phonat, The Aston Shuffle, Kraak & Smaak, Punks Jump Up, Mighty Mouse, Jacques Renault, Rayko, Djuma Soundsystem, Tensnake and more. 

Blende kicks things off with the EP’s title track, a throbbing neon-disco theme sustained by hammering piano chords. Imagine driving around Miami circa 1986 in a white Lamborghini, Hill Street Blues theme on the car stereo, with Ricardo Tubbs as your chauffeur (and you’ll be pretty close).

Sparkle is an organic arpeggio boogie that recreates the sound of early 2000's New York with a ‘14 attitude.

Plush is most manifestly reminiscent of the 80ies with its synthesized guitars and pianos and its slomo pulse, swamped in a dim soundscape.

Paramount EP

Blende - Paramount

Made a slow jam version of @clementinetunes brilliant track ‘True’. Had the record on repeat for the last week, and wondered what it would be like in midnight drive power ballad town. Hope you like. Go check the original, it’s mega

--------

This week, I was caught in the city without an internet connection and all I had downloaded on my phone were some very old episodes of The Guestlist. As embarrassing as they were to hear, the music was certified flames. So I figured this week, we’d a have a little trip down memory lane to play some lesser known greats from the early days of The Guestlist, peppered with a few newer bits that are representative of where we’ve come.

Also… there is some Fear of Tigers news today. It’s a tease of a tease of a tease… but, yes there is new music coming, a new album, an accompanying audio diary and more. I talk about it in today’s episode if you’re interested to hear more. Otherwise, hold tight, all will be revealed in the coming days.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and I’ll be back very soon to reveal my new project.

My love to all

Benjamin

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.”
