presents his new single [**‘Have A Good Time’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fsoundcloud.com%2fiamenderbender%2fhave%2da%2dgood%2dtime%2fs%2d4KKRsj1Cb1r&umid=aedce966-8340-477c-8f61-1bdb8be8669f&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-e4142cd5e921ff697b40693196dbf0c6b95c0018),
a retro-wave offering that is the first taster of his **‘New Era’ EP**. Slated for
release in late June,  this release is intended by Olguin as both an escape and 
a reminder of what is important – a soundtrack to help you enjoy yourself and have
a good time.

Ender Bender is the solo project of composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist** Eddie
Olguin**. After years of living a life in Los Angeles that read like a Brett Easton
Ellis novel, Eddie moved to Rome in the name of love, but also found new energy 
and inspiration (void of scenes and scenesters) to reinvigorate his passion for 
music and redesign his musical career path.

Once settled in Rome, Olguin built a studio and made the transition from being a
live performer to primarily a studio musician-producer.  Thus was born Ender Bender–
a new catalyst for his new mission.

The material on Ender Bender’s new 5-track electro synthwave offering was written
last summer in defiance of the spirit-crushing pandemic and his new obsession with
the emerging retrowave/chillwave movement.

“Most of the music I have been listening to has a fun-retro 80s vibe, which served
as the perfect distraction from the reality we were dealing with.  This inspired
me to create an EP that would also serve as an escape for others while positively
touching upon the things we were forced to face, like the importance of friends 
and family and of truly leaving behind the petty bullshit that takes over our daily
existence – we simply need to enjoy the beauty of life,” says **Eddie Olguin**.

released soon after the lockdown frenzy began. His first foray into studio production,
this release garnered super reviews and international radio play.  

With the Covid pandemic encouraging more time in the recording studio, 2020 motivated
Eddie to hone his production skills and to begin composing instrumental cinematic
cues.  This led to scoring several corporate demos (for the development of a virtual
reality game) and, ultimately, working as part of a busy collective of LA film composers.
He has been working as a film composer ever since.

As of May 13, “Have A Good Time’ will be available across online stores and streaming
platforms, including [**Spotify**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fopen.spotify.com%2fartist%2f1rmejQFiQPRwcsnyowKDYc%3fsi%3ddfrI1v0DTjuoJ%5ftZpwdKjA&umid=aedce966-8340-477c-8f61-1bdb8be8669f&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-91e89cd02c6a46c8725be0d00329ded349ba38aa)
