Ben Böhmer has had a whirlwind year. The Berlin-based producer and live act officially had the biggest Spotify streaming growth of any Electronic artist in the world, his 2019 debut LP Breathing surpassed 55 million streams and, with his SOLD OUT 30,000 ticket tour put on hold due to the global pandemic, Böhmer live streamed a show for fans from a 3,000 ft. high hot air balloon overlooking Cappadocia’s honeycombed hills via Cercle (Peggy Gou, Disclosure, The Blaze). The live set has quickly become one of their most successful streams to date - now with over 15 million views, it has cemented his place among fans and critics alike as ‘the’ Electronic artist to watch. After being shortlisted alongside Arlo Parks and Beabadoobee, Ben won Best Live Streamed Act at the AIM awards (2021).
Following singles ‘Beyond Beliefs’, ‘Escalate’ and ‘Erase’, which have won global support from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong and SiriusXM, Ben shares his final LP single ahead of release, ‘A Matter of Time’. An emotional high energy DJ tool created in the longing to return to the touring circuit, ‘A Matter of Time’ is the fourth album single lifted from the LP, which is due September 24th, on seminal deep house imprint Anjunadeep.
Begin Again was inspired and written while Böhmer and his fiancé were separated on opposite sides of the globe for nine months due to the global travel ban. Backed up by stunning features from Gordi, lau.ra, PBSR and JONAH, the album sees him perfectly portray the longing and uncertainty he and many of us experienced during this time.
