Nathan Jenkins, the Londoner best known as Bullion, has been among the more adventurous avant-pop producers, with a catalog ranging from sampladelic hip-hop to playful Balearic house. First attracting attention with 2007's Pet Sounds: In the Key of Dee, his crazy-quilt suite of Beach Boys and J Dilla samples, he issued singles and EPs on respected labels like One-Handed Music, Young Turks, R&S, and Honest Jon's. With releases such as 2012's Love Me Oh Please Love Me and 2016 full-length Loop the Loop, both on his own Deek Recordings, he established a sophisticated art-pop sound, blending organic and synthetic instrumentation. He scored a left-field dance hit with 2017's nautical-themed Blue Pedro, then returned with the woozy synth pop of releases like 2020 EP We Had a Good Time and the 2024 full-length Affection, which featured guest performances from Carly Rae Jepsen and Panda Bear.
