KUF (DE)

The music of the instrumental trio KUF from Berlin could be described as a mish-mash of styles ranging from hip hop to funk to d’n’b. Live, it’s always a riveting and unforgettable experience, and most of the time, fans of the widest musical spectrum sway to the rhythm of this band after a while. Although KUF has no singer or female vocalist, vocals play an important role in their music – a sampled instrument in the hands of keyboardist Tom Schneider, who adapts the mood of each song to the atmosphere of the moment. The rhythm is spiced up by Valentin Link “s double bass, which together with Hendrik Havekost” s spare drums accompany the listener through the archives of funk and r’n’b. There’s plenty of room for improvisation in KUF’s music, but the band never loses sight of the song’s main motif.
It’s like adding a dash of minimalism to the Ninja Tune catalogue and Holy Fuck’s desire to go places records won’t let you go.

KUF will perform as part of the festival KUlture Event 2021
