This tropically inspired 5-piece from Birmingham via St Vincent & The Grenadines, fly the flag of both classic British indie and forward thinking progressive electronic music. Pioneering sounds that have formed from the development of UK bass music fused with tropical riffs, dubby bass lines and big guitar leads, Troumaca are at the heart of where UK music is heading.
Having the Midlands scene locked since they started last year they are set to be known round the country and no doubt will be mentioned in the same breath as Friendly Fires, Mount Kimbie, The XX, James Blake, and the like.
Founders of Birmingham creative collective MHVH, Troumaca bring together a community of young people that are serious about what they are doing: Designers, writers, artists, promoters and photographers all contribute to the site, which is a window to, and a platform for, their city and the wider world.
Long term associates of Bigger Than Barry, the Midlands’ most infamous rave, Troumaca have gone on to create their own club nights, Elixir, Moschino Hoe-Versace Hottie, and, the now well-loved Troumaca&Friends parties. To get a taste of their sonic palette, take a listen to the band’s recently released mixtapes, which accompany their self-produced debut, ‘The Gems EP’.
The lead track from The Gems EP, ‘Fire’ found its way to being ‘Next Hype’ on Zane Lowe’s Radio One show, as well as being championed by Huw Stephens and NME.
The Troumaca tribe are Sam Baylis, Geoffrey Foulkes, Tom Gregory, Matthew Campbell, and Jim Nayak
