Blossom Hill will release his debut EP, ‘Home Colours’, later this week. Have an exclusive first listen to the lead track below.

Having spent the last eight years working behind the scenes as a label manager and A&R for Seb Wildblood’s all my thoughts label, alongside running his own Loose Fit Records and the Berlin-based Green Room collective, Blossom Hill’s dexterous ear for sound comes as little surprise, but that doesn’t make his debut EP any less beguiling. Written in just ten days from his Berlin bedroom, the eight-tracker is an ode to the people and places he misses in his native London, told through deep, enveloping ambient tones, flickering breakbeats and diaristic field recordings.

Opener ‘Loading’ boots up in a haze of skeletal bleeps before a snippet from a London Underground announcement places you right in the thick of the English capital. The rest of the EP is similarly transportive, from the ticking, train-like percussion and bleeping synthwork of ‘Darkest Hour’ – DJ Mag’s pick of the bunch – to the glinting and amorphous ambient of ‘Only Way Up’, which takes cues from the likes of Nathan Micay and Floating Points.

“In many ways this track is quite close to my heart because of the amount of iterations and ideas that went into it,” Blossom Hill shared on ‘Darkest Hour’. “There are intricacies which I spent several hours honing in it which people probably won’t ever notice and the balance of the mix is so strange but it just felt right and I guess that’s the most important thing.”

‘Home Colours’ is the latest release on the producer’s own Loose Fit Records, following music from Belfast’s Jordan Nocturne, Berlin-based Radondo, Leipzig’s Planetary Secrets, and more.

‘Home Colours’ is out 23rd July. Pre-order the EP here, and have an exclusive first listen to the lead track below.
