Trippy Turtle
ESNS:
2014
There's no lack of silly band names at Eurosonic this year and this Norwegian producer wins first prize. Little is known about Trippy Turtle but what we could uncover is that he's friends with Cashmere Cat (or is he the alter ego of Cashmere Cat?), he hangs out with Diplo's Mad Decent crew (with whom he recorded a mix for BBC Radio One) and has remixed Drake's Furthest Thing. He makes sensual tracks that fall under the Jersey Club style - a futuristic style resilient of 90's R&B and modern US Club House that is expected to take over the clubs in the coming year.
