POSIDONOS 20 MATI NEA MAKRH, Αθήνα
Blend Mishkin’s musical journey starts with humble
beginnings where playing bass for local bands as a teen fully cemented
his passion and desire to pursue a creative career.
Blend
promptly made it a mission to expand his musical horizons and after
completing a production/sound engineering course in London he took
employment in various record shops & distributors through the late
90’s and as the noughties (00’s) started, Blend embarked on the
beginning of his illustrious discography with productions/releases for
seminal labels Pork Recordings & (LTJ Bukem’s) Cooking Records under
his inaugural moniker of ‘Blend’.
As the noughties (00’s) progressed so too did Blend Mishkin’s production schedule which saw him releasing
albums for Shadow Records (USA), Serious (Gr) and DSofa (Gr) whilst
also heavily contributing exclusive tracks to many compilations,
including respected labels such as Stereo Deluxe (De) and Instinct
Records (USA) alongside official remixes for esteemed artists DJ Spooky,
Wax Tailor, The Hot 8 Brass Band and Featurecast to name just a few.
As the calendar flipped into 2007, Blend Mishkin took the next
important and logical step in his musical development and co-founded his
very own label ‘Cast-A-Blast Recordings’. This venture has stood the
test of time and proven to be an incredible platform for a wealth of
talented/recognised International artists & producers as well as an
opportunity to release and control his own productions which along the
way has included the infamous ‘Palov & Mishkin’ collaboration along
with numerous singles and riddim packs with some of the most respected
vocalists on the global scene. As if that wasn’t enough, there was no
stopping the inspiration as in ’07 Blend Mishkin also formed both the
‘Blend Sextet’, a six piece band and the ‘Cast-A-Blast Soundsystem’ with
fellow label artists BnC, Sugahspank and Palov… both projects led to
extensive touring of their Grecian homeland.
The last 10yrs has
seen a solid progression in Blend Mishkin’s musical remit from his
original diverse approach spanning hip hop, funk and reggae but
gradually refining his focus to concentrate predominantly on reggae
production to great success.
This refocus has since led to
career defining moments such as working with veteran Jamaican vocalist
Carlton Livingston, UK dancehall powerhouse Gappy Ranks, legendary NY
wordsmith MC Jamalski also remixes for the likes of Dub Pistols, the
Dirty Dubsters and Grant Phabao along with DJ’ing across every corner of
Europe amongst one of his four notorious European tours that have
occurred since 2010.
Its been 6yrs since Blend Mishkin has last
released a full length album but thats all about to change as he gears
up for a forthcoming Nice Up Records (UK) release in 2015 that sees the
result of many hours/weeks/months of hard work, conducting the newly
formed purpose made ‘Roots Evolution’ band to lace backdrops for a host
of incredible vocalists such as Exco Levi, Skarra Mucci and Gappy Ranks
for his next album release. Who knows where this next creative chapter
will lead.
