    Arcadia pres. Blake Potter ~ ON NOW....

    Blake began his career over 12 years ago making and performing synth dance music with his brother & sister. Blake's first offering to the music business came when he was only 8 years of age with his debut album, Swirl, with bro Ian and Sister Brittany. Shortly after the Cd was released, Blake had his first taste of the clublife- performing his first club show at only 9 years of age. His first show was at the Blue Planet in Houston Texas, where he shared the stage with Information Society, Cause & Effect, Dee-Lite and Anything Box. Fast forward almost two years later, Blake has completed his second full length and is working on completing an EP.

    The second release did very well locally. Shortly after the release of the E.P, Blake decided to take more interest in being a complete package. From there, he formed a company with his Father, Iner-tia. From Iner-tia, Blake began learning all aspects of the music Industry, from producing a track, to how marketing and promotion plays a vital role in where the track goes. Blake even instructed a 3 week college course on Marketing, Artist development, A&R and many more things involved with pushing units.

    A few years later, after school was learned as a priority, Blake and his siblings did their 5th and latest full length record entitled, Inertia. Inertia, came with a needed name and image change for the group. From synth pop dance to a more dance floor geared sound, The record was well received. Within 5 weeks, Inertia, outsold top sellers like Hybrid, BT, Timo Maas and took the coveted number 1 Spot for a solid 6 weeks, demanding another press of Inertia discs.

    All of this talk sparked some interest from Ministry of Sound, one of the biggest dance labels in the world. Within two weeks of hearing the record, General Manager, Barney Glover flew from the UK to meet with oracle immediately. Quickly, two tracks off the full length were re-worked and ready for press, but due to change of ownership in the MOS family, the tracks were never released.

    All of this by the time Blake is barley 16 years old. Shortly after his 16th birthday, his siblings decided to part ways, as they found their passion to be elsewhere. In the meantime, Blake focused his energy on making his real passion, house music. By the end of his 16th year, Blake produced what would be his first single as a solo artist, At First Sight featuring vocals from the one and only Adrian Braun from Satellite recs artist, Thin Men. The track was never released, but got huge support from Jimmy Van M, Nick Warren, Moshic, Ashley Casselle and many more.
