We meet Producer/DJ Blinkie. His message is to spread love and positivity, and he hopes to uplift people in doing so.
He has earned radio support from Nick Grimshaw, Scott Mills, MistaJam, across BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra.
Outside of his own tracks, Blinkie is also established as an in-demand producer and remixer. His production credits include tracks with Lana Del Rey, Giggs, and Wretch 32. He’s also remixed the likes of Anne-Marie, Major Lazer, and Sigala.
He acts on this message through his work with label InHouse Records, which has seen him collaborate with inmates in prisons who have taken up production courses through the label. The label’s purpose is to reform inmates by getting artists like Blinkie to share their skillset and knowledge to carve out exciting new opportunities for the inmates, as a form of rehabilitation.

Blinkie has recently dropped his double-single What You Want / What You Do. The release is a nod to the 90’s techno and house scene, inspired by the Chicago acid house sound.
