Multi-talented Brighton based music producer and photographer Benjamin Gordon has unveiled 'Walls Fall Down', the hypnotic new single to be taken from his upcoming debut album Where Did We Get Lost, which will be released on January 17th via Blurred Recordings.
Take a dash of soul and an irresistible groove, a generous measure of gospel-infused blues and a sprinkle of hip-hop flavours, and the end result is 'Walls Fall Down' - a rich tapestry of smooth and seductive textures, powerfully conveying the emotional lyrical content of the track. The track also features guest vocals from the stunning and passionate voice of
Bernard Fowler - long-time backing vocalist for The Rolling Stones.
Speaking about the single, Benjamin explains "'Walls Fall Down' is about living or being in a relationship with someone and it not working out. The house is on fire and you're trying to get out. The walls represent the physical and emotional space you both live within."
'Walls Fall Down' is the second single to be taken from Where Did We Get Lost, joining previous single '
Back To You' which was featured in the recently released fifth season of Black Mirror in the Striking Vipers episode. The record also includes a notable array of vocal talent from the likes of the aforementioned Bernard Fowler, Ade (Gorillaz, Amy Winehouse) and many more.
In previous history, Benjamin produced and performed under the alias of Benji Boko. He quickly garnered an impressive reputation for his unique live remixes and highly energetic performances, receiving numerous acclaimed supporters including Zane Lowe, Rob da Bank and DJ Yoda, as well as collaborating with legends such as
Maxi Jazz (Faithless) and Ricky Rankin (Roots Manuva). He then went on to support
Calvin Harris &
Justice for the midnight slot over NYE 2011 before playing at Glastonbury, Bestival, Reading and Leeds, V Fest and touring Europe for five years.
