Ben Böhmer has had a whirlwind year. The Berlin-based producer and live act is officially the fastest growing electronic artist in the world on Spotify, his 2019 debut LP Breathing surpassed 50 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 14 million views in under a year, it has cemented his place among fans and critics alike as ‘the’ Electronic artist to watch. Off the back of his stream with Cercle, Ben is to be named the Best Live (Streamed) Act at this years AIM Awards, fending off fellow nominees Phoebe Bridgers, Arlo Parks, Bicep and Laura Marling (**CONFIDENTIAL** To be announced Aug 25 2021)
Following singles ‘Beyond Beliefs’ and “escalate', Ben shares his third LP offering with ‘Erase’, featuring fast rising British singer and producer lau.ra. Supported by the likes of BBC Radio’s Annie Mac and Lauren Laverne, lau.ra has worked with many of electronic music biggest acts throughout her career including Sasha, ODESZA, Four Tet and Maribou State, as well as a long collaboration with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich as Ultraista.
‘Erase’ is the third 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.
