Ben Böhmer, the composer and producer who constantly seeks to give life to new ideas through his music, began his musical journey as a teenager when he studied piano without using sheet music under Christoph Busse. This triggered his love for improvisation and experimentation, and his pursuit of creative freedom and experimentation drew him from rural Germany to Berlin, where he fell in love with the club scene.
At the age of 18, he started playing at clubs, where he sharpened his performance skills and explored what electronic music could offer. This shaped Ben Böhmer into a DJ who today has a distinct ability to infuse his music with deep emotions and blend atmospheric melodies with rolling basslines, creating a transcendent and immersive experience for his listeners that is both introspective and uplifting.
Ben Böhmer’s music and live performances have earned him widespread acclaim from fans and tastemakers alike. In 2023, he completed the biggest-ever North American live touring run while reaching 4 million monthly Spotify listeners and has now surpassed 1 billion streams. Additionally, his Cercle set, where Ben Böhmer performed live from a hot air balloon flying over Cappadocia in Turkey, has become one of the most-viewed live electronic sets on YouTube, with over 34 million views.
His newest album, “Bloom,” an 11-track LP released in September earlier this year, is a confident reassertion of his improvisational skills and has brought his passion for songwriting and composing to the foreground. With each track blooming into something unique, featuring ethereal melodies, intricate synths, and driving rhythms, “Bloom” effortlessly captures the essence of personal growth, overcoming hardship, and emerging into power and enlightenment
The collaborations on “Bloom” also bring a unique richness and variety to the album. Tracks such as ‘Hiding’ , featuring Lykke Li, and ‘Beautiful’, featuring Malou, highlight Ben Böhmer’s ability to blend poignant vocals with his lush production style. ‘Evermore’ ,with Enfant Sauvage and ‘The Sun’ featuring Oh Wonder further diversify the album and add distinct textures and atmospheres that enhance the emotional narrative.
