Ben Böhmer Announces Debut LP, ‘Breathing,’ on Anjunadeep

Rising star Ben Böhmer will release his debut LP, Breathing, on November 22 on the venerable Anjunadeep label.

Fans of all things Anjuna will no doubt already be familiar with the name Ben Böhmer. The Berlin-based artist has hit his stride over the last 18 months or so, breaking out in spectacular fashion with appearances at Above & Beyond’s ABGT300 in Hong Kong and Lane 8’s This Never Happened summer series this summer, spectacular releases on Anjunadeep, and gaining recognition from industry heavyweights such as Annie Mac and Pete Tong. This fall will see the culmination of many of those efforts with the release of his debut album, Breathing, out on November 22 on Anjunadeep.

The album marks the closing of a chapter in Böhmer’s life; after beginning his career with a string of moody tracks released on labels such as Bade and Keller, he found a turning point in the death of a family member, and his music took on a brighter quality. Breathing promises to be an emotional exploration of the soul, moving through a broad range of feelings and moods from one track to the next.

The lead single, “Breathing,” has been a staple of in his sets over the last year. In it, Böhmer and collaborator Nils Hoffman utilize a delicate triplet pattern to underscore the spectacular synths and the yearning vocal provided by Malou, giving the listener the feeling of swinging gently in the breeze, overlooking an impossibly serene sky. If the single is any indication of what’s to come on the album, we’re in for a treat.
