Cool down with Taz Waves, Sudanese electronic music via Amman - CDM Create Digital Music Heat waves are crossing Europe; stress is rising planetwide. Sudanese artist Zaher Nasr, aka Taz Waves, has an alternative. Inspired by time in Amman, Jannah Al Yasmeen (Jasmine Heaven) is as sweet an...

Sweet and gentle like the jasmine it's named for. And there's a series of Sudanese music producers promised. Glad Zaher got in touch and sent this in.

Fun fact: the album seems to be a staple of many "chill out" sets across Greece, Turkey, Spain, etc, as we see big bursts of Shazams and streams! Would love to share those sunsets and sunrises with you all (but we're working on the next album...) <3

Music is such a beautifully global thing. Here's the wonderful DJ Manolis Stavroulakis who tagged us in a lovely post, showcasing the vinyl edition of "The Stonefruit Sessions" all the way over in Greece.

really digging this. keep it going! been on a north african vibe lately :)

PS: Half of the band is currently in the USA (David is in Seattle at the moment) if you ever want to chat!

What a lovely surprise to see this. Thanks for taking the time to listen and to share our music. How can we help support you in turn?

Ibiza Sundowner is an excellent one. Makes me think of warm afternoons and cool breezes (which is very different to the weather here in Seattle right now!).

Would love to hear what else is on your playlist too! Links please :)

That's really kind of you to say, thank you :)

A little quite as we work on new music. What's news this week with you?

The debut album "The Stonefruit Sessions" may sound sample-driven in the style of our Aussie #samplephonic friends and former label-mates like Gotye or The Avalanches. But each track is a mix of found sounds and live piano, jazz guitar, bass guitar, drums, etc. We like to sample but we LOVE to play.

Trovaire members Dennis and David met some 20 years ago while touring in bands (Dennis in Statler & Waldorf, David in Superfluid and Segue). Think "Underworld and Chemical Brothers" and you've got the era. Needless to say, quite the shift from Trovaire's #triphop, chill out and Balearic Beats vibe.

We wrote "Oh How Lovely" after being inspired by a French jazz cellist, and giving things a touch of #triphop attitude. We hope you love it as much as we do...

"To Leave The Sea" Official Video - YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

This is not #triphop like the rest of the album.

We think "Balearic House" might be the right genre... but what would you call it?

Trovaire fact: our debut album "The Stonefruit Sessions" was named after the bar and cafe Stonefruit, situated in Tenterfield, a remote Australian town. Stonefruit has become a cultural oasis for the community here, and an unlikely but productive home for #triphop and samplephonic culture.

Whereas most of the album is somewhere in the realms of #triphop our single "To Leave The Sea" is hard to pin down. We think "Balearic House" might be the right genre... but what would you call it?

Intros for all our new friends here. We are Trovaire 👋 Our debut album "The Stonefruit Sessions" was written and recorded at the Summerhouse Studio on a remote 500 acre farm in Australia's granite belt. Inspired by #triphop, #jazz, and sample culture, we've crafted a beautiful album for you.

It's hard not to put that in the top 10. And even more amazing thinking how they did the bulk of it in a bedroom, before any of the rules were set, just being creative and fresh. So inspiring.

Accidentally wrote a song from a thrift shop find... YouTube video by Trovaire

"Op Shops" are, in Australian lingo, what we call thrift stores (or charity shops for our UK friends). And we love them. Here's a little song Dennis composed after stumbling across this little instrument in the Tenterfield salvos... what should we do with it? #musicofbluesky #musicprodsky #triphop

What's the best sample-based album of all time? We're split between "Paul's Boutique" and "Since I Left You" 🤔 #sampling #cratedigging #vinyl

Dive deep into this beautiful film clip for "To Leave The Sea". Whereas most of the album is somewhere in the realms of #triphop this one is a more upbeat vibe. We think "Balearic House", but what would you call it?

Our debut album is called "The Stonefruit Sessions", and is so named after the namesake bar and cafe in #Tenterfield, a remote town in the Australian granite belt. #Stonefruit has become a cultural oasis for the local creative community, and no shortage of inspiration for the music we create.

"earfuls of eggnog" is the best project name ever. and a concerning medical issue waiting to happen :P

Rehearsals can be more fun than performances, right? Here we record some runs through the first single from The Stonefruit Sessions, a track called "To Leave The Sea" which we've never quite worked out the genre. Is it #Chillout? #Jazz? #Balearic #House? What do you think?
