Dancin' With The Trees

Old Miami - Dancin' With The Trees (Sovate Remix)

Today’s podcast is a homage to the BlogWave scene that spawned artists like Grum, Diamond Cut, Mille, Edwin Van Cleef and lots more. Many of these tracks are hard to track down and often aren’t available on the digital streaming services but help is at hand. Our BlogWave Big Boss Steve Bailey has created a resource of many of these amazing records which you can access here.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed tracks for this week’s episode - Rain in Lyon, Juels in Manchester, Nic in Zurich, Benny in Glasgow, Euey in Melbourne and of course Steve in London.

TGL E264: The Best New Records of 2022

HAPPY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HANNUKAH.
On this week's podcast we play through some 80s gems, going out with a boo-yakka before we settle down in the Christmas holiday.
Excitingly, I'm joined by two very special guests, Santa Claus and The Happy Hairy Holiday Hanukah Hippopotamus who talk about their Christmas traditions and pick a couple of their favourite records.
In other news, the annual Fear of Tigers album is delayed till January due to ill health and The Guestlist will return on January the 6th after our Xmas break.
Thanks to everyone who supported this year, I love you and I'm wishing you a lovely holiday. In the words of Nick the Bartender from It's A Wonderful Life "That does it! Out you two pixies go, through the door or out the window".
Much love to all 
Ben (FOT)

TGL E265: Office Xmas Party 80s Edition

On this week's TGL we've got some lovely new records from David Jackson, PinkPantheress, Highlite and a beautiful record of the week from Young Marco.

I'm currently working on the new Fear of Tigers record which I hope will be with you at the end of January but in the meantime, there's a cheeky work in progress demo buried away in today's mix. 

Also big should to Y, many thanks for supporting our output here.

Hope everyone is well, I'm wishing you positive vibes for 2023!

TGL E267: New Fire, New Year

Content Warning: This week's episode of The Guestlist gets a little fierce in the second-half and contains a few swears. 

Big records from the vault today - I think you'll love this week's TGL, it's all flames...

TGL E281: Please Don't Open the Vault

TGL E292: Welcome to the Future

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.

Beni Ft Antony & Cleopatra - Protect (Dream Fiend Remix)

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.”
