UK Drum & Bass artist Blame gets the opportunity to work with some of his heroes and the dance & urban elite on first artist album, Blame The Music.

With the current resurgence Drum & Bass is experiencing, UK radio has been ignited by the incendiary sounds of Pendulum, Danny Byrd and Chase & Status, as well as festivals having their soundsystems rocked by 'D & B' DJs and live acts. An artist famed for his genre defying sounds, Blame takes the next step and fuses Drum & Bass, urban beats, pop sounds and dance to create one of the most forward-thinking electronic music albums of today, rammed full of hot new talent and legendary artists from the respective scenes.

Grabbing the attention of early Drum & Bass fans with the huge rave anthems Music Takes You and Planet Neptune on the respected Moving Shadow imprint, Conrad Shafie, aka Blame became one of the most exciting names in the dance industry, breaking into the UK charts and also riding high in the dance charts, famed for his rolling liquid beats. Continually perfecting his musical direction, Blame set the trend for innovative, space age tunes such as Visions of Mars and Alpha:7 on LTJ Bukem's world renowned Good Looking Records, where he also mixed the landmark compilation Logical Progression Level 2 and decided to take the next step by setting up his own label 720 Degrees, a platform for the dancefloor oriented sounds that he was pioneering. Blame also continued to release on some of the biggest labels on the Drum & Bass planet including Hospital Records, Metalheadz and Charge Recordings.

In 2008 Stay Forever was released, a beautiful blend of beats and soaring strings that caught Radio 1's attention in a massive way. Blame & Selah's 2009 follow up Because Of You became Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World and Sara Cox's Single Of The Week. Blame has also remixed some of the biggest names in music's A-list including David Guetta & Kelly Rowland's UK no.1 hit When Love Takes Over and Steve Angello & Laidback Luke feat. Robin S, Show Me Love. 

Having achieved so much in his career already, Blame decided to up his game and tackle the next challenge, his first artist album. Famed for pushing Drum & Bass into different forms, Blame knew that the album had to say something different yet take in the surrounding elements and styles of music that influenced his life.

Blame The Music encapsulates the here and now in the urban and dance scene with cross over appeal, fusing them with Drum & Bass production. Some incredible collaborations feature including the legendary vocalist Jocelyn Brown, respected microphone lyricist Dynamite MC, UK hip hop originator Rodney P, new voices Tom Sears, DRS, Jenna G, Camilla, JT Fitz alongside Grime's hottest talent Fuda Guy, king of urban pop Tinchy Stryder and jazz-soul vocalist Alex Mills. With a message of hope and positivity running throughout, Blame The Music is set to send shockwaves through not only the dance and urban community but into the mainstream. The first single taken from the album On My Own featuring Ruff Sqwad (Tinchy Stryder & Fuda Guy) has already received daytime plays from BBC Radio 1 and is riding high on the BBC 1Xtra daytime playlist.

With a live show planned for the summer, watch as Blame continues on his path of musical development. Whether you are a 'deebee' head, love your dancefloor tunes or simply songs with great lyrics and choruses, Blame The Music is a must for any electronic music fan.
