After their collaboration with DJ Clock, Pluto (Remember
You), broke the record for most weeks at #1 on radio, with 19 weeks on the top
spot, Beatenberg have come back strong with their follow up smash, Rafael.
Yesterday Rafael spent its 7th week as the most played song on South African
radio, bringing the combined weeks at the top spot for both songs to 26 weeks
in 2014. Indisputably the band who have dominated the South African music
landscape in 2014, Beatenberg are redefining and distilling a contemporary
“South African Sound”. Drawing from a vast heritage of African artists and
sounds and blending that with their unique pop sensibility, Beatenberg are at
once locally rooted and global in their appeal, having captivated and
enthralled audiences across every platform in South Africa. Beatenberg have
received critical acclaim for their album, The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg,
released in August 2014 through Universal Music. Self-produced by the band, the
album is proudly pop, meticulously crafted and sublime in the idiosyncratic
sounds and textures created by the band. DJ Clock and Beatenberg have together
been nominated for 5 awards for Pluto (Remember You) in 2014: 4 Channel O Music
Awards (Nov ’14) and 1 MTV Africa Music Award (June ’14). With a remix by
rising European EDM duo FlicFlac set for release internationally over October
2014, Pluto is set to introduce the new South African Sound onto airwaves and
into clubs around the world.
