We weren’t familiar with Berlin trio KUF up until just recently when one of their tracks was picked by TUKAN for our March mixtape. We were clearly missing out as their intoxicating music caught our ears on first listen.  With keys, bass and drums, the three-piece summon deep grooves and mad scientist musical tastes tailored for the dance floor. With three albums under their belts, KUF are gearing up to release their fourth record later this month. Entitled Yield, the album spans “twelve slices of hyper-integrated realtime magic”, as the press release describes, with “lots of new integrations of sampling, synthesis and band action in different constellations”.

Yield arrives on March 24th through Macro Recordings and KUF have already teased it with two cuts, ‘Ah Oh’, and ‘Patterns’. The latter comes with an accompanying video made by Yoshi Sodeoka. Check out both tracks below.

Mixtape #146

01 March 2023


For anyone late to the party, TUKAN are Andrea Pesare (guitar), Nathan Van Brande (bass), Samuel Marie (keys) and Tommaso Patrix (drums). Known for their intoxicating live shows and a unique and heady brew of electronic music, jazz and post-rock, the four Brussels musicians have been garnering widespread acclaim. Last year TUKAN released Atoll, an adventurous, exhilarating and groove-heavy debut album that left us awestruck. Atoll represents a band with an undeniable improvisational synergy in their music. Needless to say we were ecstatic when the band agreed to take time out to create this amazing mix for us, scratching the surface of their influences.
