Ben Böhmer signs to Ninja Tune and presents new single, "One Last Call"

“One Last Call” marks Böhmer’s first release with Ninja Tune and arrives two years on from his second album, Begin Again.

“We’ve been working and making music together since we first met,“ Böhmer says of Raphael. "After releasing “Run Away“ a few years ago I shared a first draft of the “One Last Call” instrumental with him, and Felix really responded to the energy and vibe of the melodies and harmonies. We ended up having tens of vocal recording sessions to trial and get it nailed down. All-in-all we worked for over 1.5 years on “One Last Call“, hopefully the fans think it paid off!”

Describing the sentiment of the track, Böhmer continues, “The lyrics relate to a situation we probably all have been through. A situation where we convince ourselves that it’s the last chance to do something that we feel we need to do but might not have the bravery to take it on. That situation, happens more than once. We are confronted with it over and over again. The track describes the interplay of needs, wishes, fears, insecurities in decisions, dreams and the courage to do it or not to do it. Especially the things that we might not have the courage to do or to say. “One Last Call“ is not meant to be a typical love song , although it could be perceived this way, it’s more a story of how we face life’s challenges.”

On joining the Ninja Tune roster, where he sits comfortably alongside the likes of Bicep, ODESZA, Jayda G, Floating Points, Bonobo and TSHA, he says: “I’ve always massively respected Ninja Tune as a label and it’s home to some of my favourite electronic artists. To get the opportunity to release music with them is a massive privilege. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank every member of the Anjunafamily who has supported and danced to any of my music over the last 5 years, your support has been life changing and I’m excited to share this next step of my musical journey with you.”
