ConnectsMusic is thrilled to feature ‘Imaginarium‘, a one-of-a-kind Dutch contemporary-jazz and electronic project. They just released their highly anticipated, hypnotic, beautiful, and beguiling self-titled debut album ‘Imaginarium’, which includes the lead single ‘Gabobo‘.

Following early support from the likes of Jazz FM, Earmilk and God Is In The TV, the album showcases the full width of the band’s enigmatic musical approach. 

 

Following the initial acclaim for singles ‘Airloop’ and Kaleidoscope, the collective led by acclaimed producer, writer and keys player Anton de Bruin (renowned for his work writing string arrangements for Disney+ series, playing, producing and writing for acclaimed bands including Dragonfruit and Peter Somuah Group) offering a sprawling, vibrant and exciting neo-jazz. From moments of R&B to others of vibrant instrumental jazz, the album packs an intoxicating musical experience, driven by tight drums, and layers melodies provided by the rich synths, organs and piano sounds, rhythmic bass, guitar and vibrant brass. 

 

 

Euphoric, colourful and free, the album is packed with some stunning musicianship. From its tightly structured riffs to improvised instrumental breaks. Explaining the project, Anton explains: “The Imaginarium is a place where reality and fiction fuse into one. That is the goal of ‘Imaginarium’, to intertwine the worlds of Jazz, Dub and club culture.” 

 

Having picked up a whole host of acclaim in other projects, touring Europe and gaining coverage across tastemaker press (Wonderland, Earmilk, Atwood Magazine, C-Heads, Sterofox and Kaltblut), international radio stations (Amazing Radio A-List, Sublime FM, NPO 3FM, NPO Soul n Jazz, Q Music) and a whole host of Spotify & Apple editorial playlists, Imaginarium are no strangers to success. Having already cut their teeth playing live shows across Holland through 2023, the band’s debut album has established them as one of the most exciting new bands on the scene.
