Born out of a love for sample-heavy hip hop and neo-soul is Rotterdam-based group Dragonfruit. Influenced by the bouncy drums of hip hop, the lush melodies of R&B and the energy of club bangers, the band puts itself on the forefront of modern R&B. Debut album ‘Gears of the Giant Machine’ is out now on Super Sonic Jazz Records. Dragonfruit’s world offers rich lo-fi textures, organic electronics, hard-hitting beats and the mesmerising voice of lead singer Danique van der Vlugt.
