For his final release of the year, Marc Benjamin returns to Protocol Recordings with “Blinded By Your Light,” a deep/progressive house gem featuring Los Angeles based artist Tishmal. Marc employs his signature dynamic style by opening with piano melodies underneath ethereal vocals, which build into rolling basslines, that culminate in a bouncy breakdown. “Blinded By Your Light” plays both to the dancefloor and to the listener’s emotions with its combination of groovy instrumental elements and soulful lyrics, bridging the gap between radio and club-ready with ease. The track marks Benjamin’s third single on Protocol in 2020, following this summer’s “Burn” with Victor Tellagio. On the way he has also released on Axtone, Revealed, Hexagon, Heartfelt, and many more, continuing to expand his reach and evolve his style.
