BAD LIFE 2014

Fever Trails is the eponymous debut single from Fever Trails aka Nicolaas Van Reenan, a 24-year-old South African electronic composer who makes truly genre-defying, beautifully cinematic electronic masterpieces. We found him emerging out of Cape Town's seemingly bottomless well of incredibly talented, forward-thinking young creatives at a time where the city's scene has already given us so much of late.

Wow. Where to start? This is electronic music at it's most beautiful, but we're still not quite sure exactly what it is. 

We can imagine the BBC Radiophonic workshop cooking this up in a studio, only to rip off their 60's garb to reveal themselves as Orbital on synths, Flying Lotus on beats and Fever Trails at the helm sat proudly at the Steinway.

Like the very best electronic music, it's an escapist triumph. Both Fever Trails and Pattern Language transport you to somewhere else, creating vivid images, textures and atmospheres. 'Next level production' is a cliche which gets banded around all too often nowadays in electronic music but for Fever Trails the description falls short. This is otherwordly production, brimming with musicality.

Nicolaas Van Reenan is a lifelong student of music. In his debut offering we can sense his personal journey through indie rock, the Shangaan and Limpopo sounds of his continent and a musical epiphany on his travels in Europe. Finally it was his first festival experience where he fell in love with electronic music, Glastonbury 2008, where he lost a weekend to Shangri La.

Pattern Language

Following 2012’s acclaimed Tropical Psychedelics album, Los Angeles
electronic-psychedelic multi-instrumentalist, Eddie Ruscha returns to Emotional
Response with the second collection of cassette recordings.

Dating from tape recordings made between 1996 - 2012, Cosmic Vibrations follows the
Tropical Psychedelics (ERS003) album for the label, this time digging deeper in to the mind of Secret Circuit than the more dance floor inspired sounds heard on last years album Tactile Galactics album for Beats In Space.

Again we glimpse a melting pot of pyschedelia, techno, balearic and ambient to create an
electronic gem, but all done with a wry smile and jesters wink rather than today’s
penchant of moody seriousness.

Life on the US West Coast shines from the album, from opener Out West to She Got Love,
sunshine music that couldn’t be made anywhere else. It’s not all hippy-happy vibes though with Minimal Vibrations and the dub of Straightline taking things in to deeper and instropective territory.

However, all things resonate in Eddie’s analogue meets kitchen sink synthesis. Layer after layer floats across the album to create a smile-inducing whole. Journeying from the folk guitar of Somnambulation to the minimilism of Glass Skeletons, before bidding a fond farewell in the apt, Bells.

This second and final collection of early cassette works is not an end, but a blessing.

A1. Out West
