Zap Mama Call Waiting (Micr.Pluto Full-Cream Bass Recut)

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.

As part of the Future Sound of Mzansi mix series we have an extra special treat from the don Fever Trails (https://soundcloud.com/fevertrails). Dig!! 

This mix of exclusive, new and soon to be released tracks is incredible, we're all very excited that he's made this for our listening, skanking and dancing pleasure. 

"Nicolaas van Reenen is a Cape Town-based multi-instrumentalist and producer, known for his work with a number of acclaimed and emerging acts. He has recently started producing avant electro-acoustic sounds as Fever Trails.

Eclectic and ethereal, Fever Trails combines Ableton Live, synthesizers, guitars, drums, piano and bass with Nicolaas’ signature complex, layered sound. Part solo project, part collaborative project (especially live), Fever Trails incorporates the talents and contributions of Sebastiano Zanasi (Christian Tiger School), Dylan Jefferys (Bateleur) and Skye MacInnes (Like Knives), who add an element of live spontaneity and dynamics to a largely electronic set."
