With a wealth of support from the likes of Gilles Peterson and KUTMAH already in their favour, Belgian experimental collective STUFF. unleash their eponymous debut album in the UK on 18th September via buteo buteo.
The Belgium-based five-piece are a renowned live entity, who masterfully cross the border between broken hip-hop and jazz-influenced funk. Since forming back in 2012, the group have secured high profile support slots for the likes of D’Angelo and legendary jazz pianist Robert Glasper, alongside recording live remixes for Jungle and Little Dragon as part of their residence at Belgium’s most famous concert hall, Ancienne Belgique.
The album features nine hip-hop-influenced instrumental cuts of chopped drums and syncopated rhythms. ‘Skywalker’ follows suit with expanding atmospheric textures, yet has a more contemparory feel, with articulated snare hits laying the foundations. It's available as a free download via SoundCloud:
Fresh from a string of successful festivals performances, including Dimensions and Green Man, the band will play On Blackheath Festival in London on 13th September on the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Stage. An explosive live force, who were the first European live band to be invited to perform a Boiler Room session, this talented five-piece are truly an act not to be missed.
