Beshken Shares New Song via HIGHSNOBIETY  Image

Fresh off a sold out Fall tour in support of Gus Dapperton and a run of shows at SXSW 2019, today, NYC-based, LA-born producer Beshken shares his new song "Passion," the latest single from the artist and the latest taste of his forthcoming debut album Aisle of Palm. Inspired by a relationship that has come and gone and the fleeting passion that can surround it, the music for "Passion" features muted vocals alongside woozy synths in a uniquely Beshken way.

According to Beshken, "Feelings are fleeting, love is changing, and passion passes..." and that's what this song is meant to represent.

Ben Shirken (a.k.a. Beshken) grew up in Los Angeles, where artists like Shlohmo, Teebs, Flying Lotus and iconic evenings like The Low End Theory created a musical foundation to which he was drawn. In L.A., Shirken was part of the group Partytime, remixing Corbin (Spooky Black) and Ryan Hemsworth. The duo performed with artists like Suicideyear, Karman, Girl Pool, and Groundislava at The Smell, Pehrspace, and other art spaces around the city.

In 2015, Shirken moved to New York and began performing in the city's D.I.Y. scene, where his multi-instrumental and ever-evolving live shows brought him to hallowed venues like Palisades, Elsewhere, and the now-closed Cameo Gallery. While he shared bills with electronic musicians like Macintosh Plus and XXYYXX, Shirken also played with bands like Men I Trust, Crumb, and recently toured with Gus Dapperton. Additionally, Ben established himself as a DJ in New York, spinning eclectic sets of house and techno at The Lot Radio, Good Room and NTS Radio. Aisle of Palm signifies an exciting stage in Beshken's career that underscores his versatility as a producer and honesty as a songwriter.
