Blanck Mass is the solo project of Benjamin John Power, who began making music under that name in 2010. His self-titled debut album, recorded in his apartment, featured ambient, droning electronic music that was both abstract and accessible. One of the tracks from this album, "Sundowner," gained recognition when it was used during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. Blanck Mass' second album, Dumb Flesh, released in 2015, was inspired by the flaws of the human form in its current evolutionary state.

Blanck Mass draws inspiration from a variety of artists and genres including Forest Swords, Steve Hauschildt, Oneohtrix Point Never, Roly Porter, Emeralds, Tim Hecker and more. His unique sound combines elements of experimental electronic music with a captivating intensity.

With each release under Blanck Mass, Benjamin John Power continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. His music resonates with listeners who appreciate thought-provoking compositions that challenge conventional norms.

Invada Records was formed in 2002 by Geoff Barrow, Ashley Anderson, and Redg Weeks. Geoff and Ashley have been collaborating since 1998 and decided to establish the label together. In 2003, Geoff started Invada Records UK, focusing on developing a roster of artists from the UK that would also be released in Australia. As the label continues to grow, Invada is expanding its distribution network worldwide.

Blanck Mass (Fuck Buttons, Benjamin J Power, The Editors) scored the new Amazon Prime series The Rig, staring Iain Glen and Emily Hampshire. “With The Rig being the first TV show I have scored, I feel lucky to have worked with the team behind the show on a score which to my mind is my most concise and unified palette-wise in recent memory,” says Power. “The setting of the physical oil rig presented a very specific visual and sonic identity for me. The creaks and groans of the giant metal sculpture and how it is in a constant battle with the nature fed itself into the scoring process. This score is perhaps my most elemental to date and it was a joy to work on.”  The Rig synopsis: "When the crew of the North Sea stationed Kinloch Bravo oil rig is due to return to the mainland, a mysterious fog rolls in and cuts off communication with the outside world. The crew are then driven to the limits of their endurance and loyalties are forced into a confrontation with forces beyond their imagination.”
