Blendin'Era’s Child of Fortune EP is a high-gloss, heart-driven dance pop triumph made for summer nights.
Germany’s genre-defying collective Blendin’Era returns just in time for summer with Child of Fortune, a five-track EP that pulses with euphoria, precision, and global flair. Helmed by veteran producers Rick T. (aka DJ Abstract), Castor Troy, and Rob Fischer, the project continues to blur the lines between club-ready dance pop and emotionally resonant songwriting, without ever losing its cool.
At the heart of the release is the title track, a shimmering, sky-bound anthem fronted by South African vocalist Tom Kingwell. It’s all sleek beats, gleaming synths, and that rare sense of uplift you only get on nights when the world feels electric. Lyrically, Child of Fortune leans into serendipity, joy, and the quiet belief that anything is possible under a neon sky – echoing the golden-era energy of artists like Calvin Harris, but with a distinctively international twist.
From their early days as Frankfurt club fixtures to landing cuts on major labels across the globe, Rick and Castor’s sonic evolution feels fully realised in Blendin’Era. The EP also features contributions from collective members like LauRAW and SaDBoY, showcasing a collaborative ecosystem that’s as visually immersive as it is musically sharp.
Child of Fortune isn’t just a summer soundtrack – it’s a mission statement. Across its 20-minute runtime, Blendin’Era carves out a space where high-gloss production meets raw feeling, making dance music that’s both expansive and deeply human. It’s not just about movement – it’s about meaning in motion.
