Ben Hemsley – Blind [Repopulate Mars]

British producer Ben Hemsley returns to Repopulate Mars with a heady single entitled ‘Blind’ featuring a remix from label boss Lee Foss.

Last year was a breakthrough for the fast-rising Newcastle raised producer who debuted on Repopulate Mars with his ‘Caress Me’ single, following up months later with ‘NE29’ for South Of Saturn’s inaugural release. He’s since become a go-to producer for house music’s biggest names, picking up support from the likes of Michael Bibi, Eli Brown, Solardo and Patrick Topping. Hot off the heels of his ‘Snowdowns Tune’ single on Armada Subjekt, Hemsley’s now back on Repopulate Mars and his highly anticipated homecoming is another illustration of how the producer is destined for greatness.

Swinging hats and a dynamic acid melody lays down the foundation for ‘Blind’, complimented by a soulful vocal which playfully intertwines with Ben’s formidable production. An upfront banger designed to make you move, it’s easy to understand how this track has already picked up support from Calvin Harris, Dom Dolla, Fisher and more. Adding soulful chords, organ melodies and squelchy effects, Lee Foss’s version offers a deeper aesthetic in contrast to the tougher sounding.
