  • Blue-in-Green:PODCAST_#142_Ben Blackadder
    Feb 7 2025
    Welcome to Episode #142 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with producer, Ben Blackadder. Boasting a consistent batch of exceptional single releases over the last two years, the Nottingham-based artist was initially introduced to audiences via his lush single for David Hanke's Bathurst label, 'Near'. A brief hiatus brought him back with a vengeance with a slew of single releases including 'On My Mind', 'Fragile', 'Ebb' and 'Dust', each proving to be an outstanding showcase of multi-faceted, dance-floor friendly sublime electronica. Blackadder's latest single 'Nightfall' finds itself as an excellent extension of Blackadder's warm and intimate textures, bolstered by exquisite use of vocal samples that delivers another gem amidst the Blackadder catalogue. We're so appreciative of Ben's time for this conversation which sees us delve into his production techniques, establishing himself as an independent musician, embarrassing encounters with musical icons and how the quarantine period in 2020 set him on his musical pathway.

  • Blue-in-Green:PODCAST_#141_Greg Sanders (of Lophae)
    Jan 23 2025
    Welcome to Episode #141 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with Lophae founder, Greg Sanders. The release of 'Perfect Strangers' marks another in a string of successes for guitarist, composer and producer, Sanders. Establishing his phenomenal credentials via Teotima's two scintillating full-lengths ('Counting the Ways' and 'Weightless'), Sanders has amassed recent acclaim as a key collaborator for vocalist Juanita Euka, Jonny Wickham and Billy Marrows, amongst a litany of other artists. His penchant for Latin-infused contemporary jazz has yielded some sensational projects which now include the 'Perfect Strangers' album courtesy of Sanders' new quartet, Lophae. Pronounced "lo-fi", the collective is further comprised of top-tier collaborators in drummer Ben Brown, bassist Tom Herbert and saxophonist Sam Rapley who breathe sparkling life into 'Perfect Strangers'. We're so appreciative of Greg's time for this conversation which sees us delve into the Lophae project, life as an independent artist, past collaborations, the concept of ego and Vipassana Meditation retreats.

    Oct 28 2024
    Welcome to Episode #140 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with King Llama members, Ryan Bailey and Luis Briones. Following the release of their new album over the summer, the LA-based prog-jazz-rock-fusion collective unveiled an excellent release with 'Fata Implexis'. Offering a truly unique perspective on contemporary jazz, King Llama have continued to embrace bold and innovative musical soundscapes across their projects. For this go-round - under the watchful eye of highly-decorated producer Dennis MacKay - King Llama have set exciting new heights for themselves. We're incredibly grateful to have been able to catch up with Ryan and Luis to discuss the new album, collaborating with artists like MacKay and percussionist Nate Werth for 'Fata Implexis', the creative process and we delve into the mythology surrounding King Llama, the album's exceptional artwork and the compelling bigger picture surrounding it all.
