Blessed with an ability to fabricate distinctly lush sonic textures, Nicolaas Van Reenen stands as one of Cape Town’s finest. Under the moniker Fever Trails, he dispenses sounds that go against the grain, fashioning himself a perch on which to sit without competition. His upcoming EP Wax Bridge continues that exact remit with “Draw Me”.

Teeming with indigenous influences and spacey soundscapes, “Draw Me” is indicative of this artist’s well versed ability in all things music. Dreamy vocals along with ambient warmth sit atop live percussion with fresh elements being roped in to keep you on your toes – all culminating in a complex musical fabric that will have you wrapped up. It’s criminally good.

Wax Bridge touches down on 12th September through @quit-safari.

Fever Trails "Draw Me" - Boiler Room Debuts

'All This Trouble' is the first track to land from Jonny Drop’s 2nd album "The Only Sound".  Warm, hazy Jazz is covered by a patchwork of percussion and beats that clearly display his sensibilities as a drummer. This early taste of the new album, due in June, is one of the closest heir’s to the "Sub Plot" crown, but confidently points at the producer’s development, which will be clearly heard in his new material. 

Jonny Drop’s debut, "Sub Plot", was the very first album release on the fledgling Albert’s Favourites label at the beginning of 2016. The initial offering, a 7” of album favourites 'Mind Field' and 'This Is The One' had quickly been picked up on by the good people at BBC Radio 6 Music as well as some of Drop’s personal heroes including Kenny Dope, Mr. Thing and Nightmares On Wax. But when the infectious rhythms and warm production of the beat tape landed, its impact was greater than anyone at the label could have hoped. 

Although Jonny never stopped producing beats in the following years, he was also kept busy as a drummer, playing live for Andrew Ashong, The Bongolian and Connie Constance, whose Boring Connie EP he also laid down beats for. Then in early 2018 his band The Expansions delivered their celebrated "Murmuration" LP. All the while, with the support of his label family, Drop had been evolving his solo sound too.

"The Only Sound sees a huge progression in my writing direction, as I collaborated with multiple vocalists and musicians, instead of the usual 'one-man band' approach. The development of these processes make this LP a steady departure from the beat-tape influence of my past releases, and hopefully, showcase the more original sound I've been working to achieve over the past few years."

Ahead of the new “Samba Del Sol” album from Clifford Brown & Jeen Bassa Ft. Ella Mae Sueref, Banoffee Pies Records present an early taste of the music within with this three track single "Mother Nature". 

With strong influences in Carnival and Latin sounds, culminated with Hip Hop drums and Soul roots - the duo meet in middle ground as an expression of their background, John’s heritage in Mauritius and Cliffords childhood in South America. Partnered with Ellas Spanish language fluency and soft Badhu acclaimed voice as previously heard on the single Stop Rewind, credited by the like of Gilles Peterson.

The release was recorded on Garageband by Clifford Brown and Jean Bassa with 2 Karaoke Microphones, mixed in Bath and later buried on a hard drive for over 6 years never to be heard again. Sliding into the forgotten darkness of lost tracks and rediscovered in 2017. The production, originally just an instrumental, was then found and reignited, revamped with a vocal insert from the wonderful Ella Mae Sueref. Living room jams made in smoke. Banoffee xx
