UK’s Blue Daisy was just another unsigned beatmaker, studying for his law exams and shopping tracks to DJs and label heads last year. He dropped a few in the inbox of Mary Anne Hobbs, who spun them on her influential Radio 1 Experimental program, where Ian Merchant, founder of the Black Acre imprint, heard the songs and immediately scooped up Blue Daisy to release his lurching debut single, “Space Ex”. Such lightning-paced development is more often than not a detriment– artists are pushed into the spotlight before they’re ready– but when the music’s this accomplished, everyone wins.
