Blood Diamonds Tickets

Blood Diamonds, aka Michael Diamond, is a Los Angeles-based pop artist best known for his luxurious dreamscapes and infectious, sun-dipped production.

His recent 4AD release, the much-talked about 'Phone Sex' 12" has been receiving love from BBC1, all the way to Pitchfork and the NME.

Featuring close friend Grimes (Claire Boucher), 'Phone Sex' is a track they made together late last-year in a nightlong quest to create a perfect pop song. Influenced by both K-Pop and big productions, they succeeded in creating something true to their aim, an otherworldly summer anthem. For those new to Blood Diamonds, Mike has been making a name for himself over the last few years.

Coming from a background in classical and modernistic jazz from his adolescence in Kansas City, after moving to Vancouver to study a degree in video game design, he became absorbed in all music electronic and started to make his own, sharing it online. After releases on New York label The Pop Manifesto, this will be his first UK commercial release since the 'Grins' 7" on Transparent Records. His debut record is slated for release in early 2013.
