TroyBoi and Fabian Mazur have teamed up on “Shoulder Lean,” a trap single released on October 9 through Ultra Records.
Built around deep sub-bass, dark atmospheres and a half-time groove, the collaboration brings together TroyBoi’s syncopated rhythms and Mazur’s sound design. The release describes a stripped-back approach that gives the track’s low end and drop room to stand out.
Putting Rhythm and Bass at the Center
“Shoulder Lean” focuses on the slower, heavier side of trap, using space and rhythmic movement as central parts of its production.
The collaboration combines two producers with distinct backgrounds. London-born TroyBoi, whose real name is Troy Henry, has developed a sound that draws on trap while incorporating textures from different genres.
Fabian Mazur, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, works as a producer, vocalist and sound designer. Alongside his releases, his work includes sample packs and educational projects for other music producers.
Their shared track puts those production skills at the forefront, with an instrumental-driven arrangement built around bass and bounce.
Following TroyBoi’s ‘FT’ EP
The single follows TroyBoi’s seven-track FT EP, also released through Ultra Records.
That project featured collaborations with vocalists including Daya, Morray and Rockie Fresh. “Shoulder Lean” brings the emphasis back to instrumental trap production.
The release also follows TroyBoi’s Hear2Move North American tour, adding another collaboration to a catalog that includes Left Is Right, the V!BEZ releases, INFLUENDO, SAY LESS and 4 ON DA FLOOR.
Early Support From Zedd
