Ben Khan – Zenith

A year a go today, we wrote about rising Brit, Ben Khan.

Flash forward one year and hot on the footsteps of Ben’s recent release of ‘1000’, is his latest victory, ‘Zenith’.

A powerful three minute track full of claustrophobic sci-fi blues, wounded guitar squiggles, crunchy synths and a soulful cascading chorus hook.

Ben recently announced his first headline live dates in the UK and Europe with most of the shows quickly selling out. This is one artist in demand.

His new EP follows last years successful and acclaimed debut ‘1992 EP’ which introduced Ben’s inventive brand of swampy electronic R&B and funk, mangled blues soul, and icy hip-hop beats.

Sounds like: Leo Kalyan, Twin Shadow, Jai Paul, JUNGLE, Disclosure, Prince, Blood Orange, Harts, Oyinda, Shy Girls

Ben Khan – Youth

We’ve been stalking this guy for a while and rightly so. Ben Khan likes to keep himself to himself and let his music take centre stage.

Torn between wanting to reach the ‘passive listeners’ (those of us who don’t go actively seeking for new sounds) and trying not to make music just for the cash, the elusive Mr Khan has clearly put a lot of thought into his sound. We understand that he has been working on his debut EP for 2 years now.

His latest track (taken from the ‘1992’ EP) is ‘Youth’. The sky soaring track is full of retro vibes and soulful vocals, but remains slightly less funky that its predecessors; ‘Eden’ and ‘Savage’.

We’re sorry Mr Khan, but we can already hear the cash counters tinging.

The highly anticipated ‘1992’ EP is out on 5 May 2014 via Ben Khan’s own Blessed Vice and is available for pre-order now.

Sounds like: Twin Shadow, Jai Paul, JUNGLE, Disclosure, Prince, Blood Orange, Soft As Snow, Gabriel
