We love Don Kapot, the explosive and exhilarating Brussels-based trio of Giotis Damianidis (bass), Viktor Perdieus (baritone saxophone) and Jakob Warmenbol (drums), all three key players in the vibrant Belgian jazz scene. They have crushed it again this year, spiraling skywards with their fourth album, I Love Tempo, an intoxicating opus blending elements of free jazz, afrobeat, and krautrock, fizzing with both groove and virtuosity and driven by an unabashed punk spirit. What a better way to go out this year than with this rad mix Don Kapot put together for us. Press play and get into their headspace!
