KUF: With keyboards, sampler, double bass and drums, Tom Schneider, Valentin Link and Hendrik Havekost create a sound that is at once warm, attractive, exciting and completely from outer space. The rhythm section hints at the great history of dirty funk and r'n'b, but the grooves are firmly of today: dance-centred and broken up at the best possible joints. With four albums the Berlin trio pioneered an astonishing inversion of the typical electronic band set up, by pairing a plethora of disembodied, sampled voices with acoustic real-time interaction on bass, drums and keys.
KUF have found the freedom to put everything back together again and again. A sampler‘s cut-up capabilities triggered by frisky fingers. Persistent bass. Adamant drums. Rough soul, intertwined by improvised outbursts and shaped with the aesthetics of raw MPC-based chunky techno.
Meet ROLROLROL, the new musical brainchild of Jameszoo and Niels Broos. Their debut album ‘MUSIC’ is a joyous exercise in pop, modern jazz and electronic music. Building on their extensive collaboration for Jameszoo’s three albums on Brainfeeder and Niels Broos's two EPs for Alpha Pup, ‘MUSIC’ was created over several years with occasional help from friends.
The record is a colourful foray into sounds spanning pop, modern jazz, and electronica. It’s packed with swirling sounds of sci-fi imagination and playful toy-like melodies, scattered around the recordings like action figures in a sandpit. ROLROLROL’s vibrant chirpy songs recall the blinking lights and beefy sound-chips of bygone arcades, but amidst their poppy vocoder ramblings and funky bit-crushed bass is a sensitive underlying layer of ambient quietude and thoughtfulness.
