about
"Fall" marks the pioneering collaborative effort between producer Trippin Jaguar and composer, singer, and double bassist Benjamin de Boer. Their paths crossed unexpectedly, with Trippin Jaguar's desire to integrate conventional instrumentation and song in his work, and Benjamin's curiosity towards the realm of electronic music, proving to be a rewarding alliance.
Over time, they've teamed up on numerous hybrid projects, engaged in a residency program for artists sponsored the Dutch art and music foundation Voordekunst, and delivered a series of performances. All their initiatives consistently carry a subtle thread of challenging prevailing societal frameworks and current world events.
"Fall" draws inspiration from George Chapman's poem '’The Shadow of Night.'' The verse provides a compelling perspective to interpret our existing societal conditions. It emphasizes that the "night"—representing obstacles, uncertainties, and diversities—shouldn't be evaded or feared. Rather, it should be accepted as an integral part of our mutual pursuit towards enhanced understanding, compassion, and solidarity.
The duo encourages audiences to pause, introspect, and embrace their inner shadows in dance, proposing that it's often in these depths where abundant solutions and healing reside.
Every single song on this stellar compilation is a moody and memorable dose of deephouse, each wearing the intricacies and intelligence of their design lightly. If you have room in your heart for smart and emotionally grown-up electronica, you'd be doing yourself an enormous disservice overlooking this. Ben Harris
