After a meteoric rise in their home country, Belgium’s TUKAN are gearing up to release a new record, following their 2022 exhilarating and groove-heavy debut Atoll. Entitled Human Drift, the upcoming album is set for release on January 24th through Magma. Described as “an album about connection and letting go”, Human Drift “embodies the spirit of community, celebration, and sharing in a world leaning towards isolation and individualism”. On the new album, the quartet continues to corral a broad diversity of sound, blending electronic grooves with instrumental melodies.

Ahead of the album’s release, TUKAN have shared the radiant and energized ‘Roda’ which serves as the first enticing taste of what’s to come and you can listen to it below.

Mixtape #146


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.
