BLM x Echo Festival Exclusive Mix #029 by Echo Festival published on 2013-05-14T19:36:56Z The Fear of Flying Records headhoncho delivers us an excellent mix this week as we get closer to Echo Festival - 3 weeks left! Known to his friends as Ben Micklewright, BLM has been topping the bill at London nights for many years. After growing up on some of garage’s finest names (including our all time favourite Todd Edwards) he began focusing his attention on music production in 2004. Since then he has developed an intoxicating house rhythm that will be perfect for setting off the dance floor at Echo this year. BLM’s idiosyncratic take on deep, minimal house (whether it be the garage influence clearly evident in his work or the irreverent track titles) is a breath of fresh air from the earnest posturing of many a serious producer. His Fear Of Flying imprint has hit a recent run of form releasing underground gems from Shenoda, Huxley, Jozif, Ivano Tetelepta, Roger Gerressen as well as BLM himself and is about to clock up its 50th release in 5 years. From the ever intriguing work of Schatrax to the fresh sounding Romanian beats that pepper the label’s discography, BLM’s willingness to support producers that think outside the box is clearly evident. Ben has also released on established labels including Tsuba, Underground Quality and more recently with the esteemed secretsundaze imprint. BLM will be performing alongside Citizen and Youandewan on the LBC Showcase 9th June. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Echo Festival 2013, 6-9th June. Kanegra, Croatia.
