Trio electro/jazz berlinese straordinario, i KUF colpiscono per la loro capacità compositiva e la loro abilità nel fondere perizia audiofila, livelli, incastri, strutture, divertimento ed una tecnica esecutiva sopraffina. Una band da vedere assolutamente LIVE, uno spettacolo sonoro e visivo unico.
The bewildering thing about KUF is that it is a vocal-led group that has no singer on stage at all. All vocal elements are based on self-recorded samples which keyboard whizz kid Tom Schneider melds and bends and squeezes in real time. As if it was a regular thing to do. With no artificial synchronization in place, Valentin Link on bass and Hendrik Havekost on drums push the disembodied, highly abstract voices into an arena of hyperintegrated realtime magic. The rhythm section hints at the great history of dirty funk and r’n’b, but the grooves are firmly of today: dance-centered and broken up at the best possible joints.

"A mish-mash of styles from the unique Berlin band – from hip hop to funk to D'n'B – but all with a strong jazzy backbone and heavily electronic-sounding palette." BLEEP
