ABOUT
With BBC Introducing exposure from his last release 'The Midnight EP', Trekkah was championed across 1Xtra and Radio 1 by DJs such as Huw Stephens, Mista Jam, DJ Target, and Trevor Nelson. The producer is back with his debut album 'The Enlightening', released on UK independent label, Phlexx Records.
"Trekkah is sounding fantastic" - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio
'The Enlightening' is a collaborative album that is tuned and conceptualized around the ancient Indian practice of the Chakras. Each Chakra has a different frequency, and the practice is seen as the journey through life, where from birth we begin to work through each Chakra with the ambition of balancing all, allowing energy to flow through each and through the body. Featuring a range of resonating instrumentation and electronic sounds, the album features vocalists from across the world, culminating in artistic expressions and response; the producer has created a beautifully articulate 14-track album, that features 8 different languages, showcasing the diverse culture and collaborations from within his home city of Nottingham.
"Trekkah perfectly walks us through his vision of spirituality, whilst also taking your emotions on one hell of a ride" - Angelica Giugno (Nusic)
The hometown launch of the material took place at Rough Trade, Nottingham on the 18th October, with a packed-out Tuesday night crowd filling out the venue and taking part in live art activities. Trekkah performed a live audio/visual set of the album in its entirety, with live projections, lighting show, and an entourage of 14 featured vocalists, live sitarists, saxophonists, flutists, and violinists.
"Rough Trade was taken over by a plethora of international artists in a massive mashup of styles, all brought together by Trekkah's electronic productions, live instrumentalists, and belting Chakras" - Bridie Squires (LeftLion Magazine)
"Trekkah's launch was one of the most detailed and celebratory album launches we've hosted at the venue" - Rough Trade Nottingham
Having been played on local BBC stations such as The Beat Show, presented by Dean Jackson, Nottz TV, and reviewed across a number of online blogs and publications, the album is out on sale as physical copies in Rough Trade, Nottingham, and Phlexx Records Big Cartel store, as well as being digitally released since 11th November on all major online stores. As an instrumentalist and vocalist, Trekkah is currently writing and performing for/with Nottingham's Future Sound of Music Winner 2012 The Afterdark Movement & Reggae-Dub heavyweights Origin One, and folk outfit Benjamin Zięć & The Rarebreeds.
Just in the last three years, Trekkah has performed on stages up and down the country and been billed on festival line-ups such as No Tomorrow Festival, Boomtown & Soundwave Croatia alongside artists such as London Grammar, Clean Bandit, Gentleman's Dub Club & Sam Smith.
To date, as a Producer, Trekkah Benjamin has had two releases; 'The Colour' EP (2012) & 'Midnight' EP (2014, Phlexx Records). Both EPs mix and blend a fruitful array of musical genres and aim to produce an aesthetic balance of both electronic and organically produced sounds.
"Trekkah, one quarter of dub cult powerhouse Origin One, brings a maiden three-track EP that captivates the soul from start to finish... A memorable debut that is sure to put the multi-talented producer and musician on the map" - Jack Garofalo, LeftLion
"Sunflower’s breezy late-summer beats open the EP with wafts of piano & saxophone, and some stunning soulful vocals from Yazmin Lacey" - Paul Klotschkow, LeftLion
