Blanke

Blanke, born John Paul Orchison on 16 December 1991, is an Australian electronic music producer and DJ from Canberra who has become one of the most versatile artists in the bass music ecosystem, working across melodic bass, dubstep, drum and bass, and hybrid electronic production depending on the creative context. Denver-based since relocating from Australia, he developed the Blanke project from his hometown into an internationally touring entity within approximately three years of sustained release activity. His production catalogue spans releases on Monstercat, Ophelia, Deadbeats, and Ministry of Sound — a range of label affiliations that reflects the genre breadth of his output and his ability to fit credibly within different curatorial contexts. His collaborators have included Illenium, REZZ, ATLiens, Seven Lions, Gryffin, and Zeds Dead, while his remix work encompasses commissions from Marshmello, Sullivan King, and Slander. In early 2021, he launched ÆON:MODE as a dedicated drum and bass project, demonstrating a commitment to the genre's technical precision alongside his melodic bass output rather than treating DnB as a secondary identity. He was named Break Out Artist on Reddit's r/EDM Best of 2019 list and signed with United Talent Agency, markers of both community recognition and industry infrastructure that positioned him for sustained international touring. As of February 2026, he released Best of Me as a collaboration with Virtual Riot featuring Dia Frampton on Monstercat. His EDC Las Vegas 2026 bassPOD appearance places his bass and drum and bass production within the festival's dedicated heavy-music environment.
