Amsterdam-based psych pop meets soul outfit Feng Suave consists of Daniel De Jong and Daniel Leonard Elvis. Together they make music reminiscent of bygone times when vocals were drowned in reverb and instruments were seemingly recorded under water. The soulful vocal melodies, alluding to the 60s and 70s, and punchy bass lines make for a warm, psychedelic deluge of airwaves embellished with dreamy effects. Sometimes Feng Suave sounds more like an audacious attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial intelligence than two boys playing pop songs.

At the beginning of The Blaze there was "Virile" - a melancholy piece, carried by an ultra-sharp and frankly homoerotic clip. It didn't take much to stir the internet and stir the curiosity of atmospheric music aficionados. Promising beginnings which, added to a good dose of mystery, transformed the two strangers into artists to follow. A few months after this startling material, The Blaze drives the point home with "Territory". This new song reinforces the style of the duo: melancholic, heady, at the same time telluric and airy. This universe is quickly compiled in a first EP called Territory (2017) then in the album Dancehall (2018). The music of The Blaze may be intimate, but it takes a whole new scale live. The duo embarks on the ancient theater of Fourvière in an experience that will make it hover far, very far.
