A bit about Blake

James Blake Litherland, born 26 September1988, known as James Blake, is an EnglishElectronic music producer and singer-songwriterFrom London. He is also known as HarmonimixWhen releasing remixes.

A bit about his careerInfluenced by the likes of DAngelo and Stevie Wonder along with Burial and Mount Kimbie, London-based producer James Blake first gave the world a taste of his quirky, R&B-sampling strain of dubstep in 2009 when his Air & Lack Thereof 12 appeared on the Hemlock label.Blake received quite the endorsement when the heralded Soul Jazz label picked the track up for their Steppas' Delight 2 compilation that same year. Blake raised his profile every few months during 2010 -- something of a breakout year for him -- with a succession of warmly received 12" releases: The Bells Sketch (Hessle Audio, March), CMYK (R&S, June), Klavierwerke (R&S, October), and the single-sided "Limit to Your Love" (Atlas, November). The last of the series -- a cover of a song by Feist, in which Blake's heartfelt vocal was placed front and center -- served as a precursor to his first full-length, issued the following February.He returned to Hemlock for July's Order 12", then reverted to Atlas for October's Enough Thunder -- a six-track EP with a Bon Iver collaboration and a cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You.Yet another 12" Love Happened Here surfaced in late 2011 and Blake spent much of 2012 working on his second album, releasing new work under the name Harmonimix and performing less often as the new songs percolated. In April of 2013 second album Overgrown appeared, featuring collaborations with Brian Eno and RZA. ~ David Jeffries

James Blakes Homepage

The homepage theme is based upon Summer 2015 where a clock has been created through festival names and dates, lines and a graphic model of the artist (and his shadow to make the hands of the clock). Powerful neon lights and colour have been used to add to this theme, reflecting his genre of music and atmosphere created to enhance Summer. This acts as a countdown during the summer period of festivals which he was preforming at, a creative way for his audience to stay track.
