Today’s song is Higherground by UK electro pop/EDM act BLOCKHOUSE BAY. The single is coming from the debut album, Duality released in November.

The man behind BLOCKHOUSE BAY, Rhys John Hughes, is best known for playing guitar and keyboards in El Hula,  fronted by Glowb recordings Blair Jollands. The band released two albums, Hotel in 2001 and Violent Love in 2003, on BOY GEORGE ’S More Protein label. The Thin Men project followed with the release of the album “Arena” in 2006 with Hughes on guitars and keyboards. The Londoner went on to co-produce Lotus Mason’s  self titled album in 2010.

For the last year Hughes has been working on the solo project BLOCKHOUSE BAY’S début album Duality. Have a listen to Higherground. With the crispy electronic melodies and the heavy bass line, this single will be the perfect way to start the summer.
