Brief Experience :
Career Rowan Blades is best known as half of the massively successful Breeder. Breeder's first two singles, 'The Chain' and 'Twilo Thunder', have sold in excess of 25,000 copies world-wide, having first come to prominence on Sasha's near-legendary 'Global Underground - San Francisco' compilation. 'Twilo Thunder' has since gone on to achieve great commercial success with lucrative licences to compilations from the Ministry of Sound and Euphoria 2, which have sold over 500,000 copies between them. Breeder's third, fourth and fifth tracks, 'Tyrantanic', 'Rockstone' and 'New York FM' have been showcased on Sasha and John Digweed's last 'Northern Exposure - Expeditions' compilation, as well as on John Digweed's 'Global Underground - Hong Kong'. With over 20,000 pre-sales for Tyrantanic, things look set to continue in a similar vain to how they have started, and in doing so stamping out any doubt that they are a 'one hit wonder'. This rapid rise to prominence has resulted in several high-profile remix projects. These include Tilt's 'Children', Planet Perfecto's classic 'It's Not Over Yet', Brother Brown's 'Under the Water', Orbital's 'Nothing Left', and Evolution's 'Phoenix'. On the back of this success, Rowan has started a new project with Gaetan Schurrer, who has engineered for Sasha. With successful remixes of, Orbital's 'Nothing Left' (FFRR), and of Space Manoeuvres 'Stage One', released on Hooj Choons, as featured on Sasha's recent Global Underground, they seem to have established themselves without even releasing their first single.
