One of the most celebrated German electronic-music stars of the 2010s and 2020s, Ben Böhmer employs deceptively complex interlocking rhythms and atmospheric vocal processing on his moody tracks. Born in Göttingen, he built his reputation through singles and EPs on local labels before transitioning to the UK imprint Anjunadeep (see his kaleidoscopic 2018 house cut “After Earth”). He released his debut album, Breathing, in 2019; driven by a plaintive vocal melody and an unusual trap-inflected shuffle, the title track stands as one of Böhmer’s most indelible statements. His 2021 sophomore album, Begin Again, is populated with deep house gems, including “Once…” and “Beyond Beliefs.”
