Known for their rhythmic sensibility and curious melody, the quintet weave together a futuristic soundsphere where electronic wind instruments, drums, electric bass, synthesizers and turntables combine with Pollock-like abandon, creating a style that while heavy on groove has enormous depth and intrigue. The band's third studio album, T(h)reats, takes inspiration from a series of explosive live shows in 2019 and is a reaction to the current situation we find ourselves in; art and music can be a treat in these strange and uncertain times. "After hours of talking, philosophizing and fantasizing about what the new approach of the record could be, nothing concrete came up. Then we just started making music to see where we'd end up like we've always done. As a result, in this day and age, with this group of people -- this is what happened," says the band. From the warped, off-beat rhythms of "Cigogne" and harmonic weirdness of "Honu" to the deep space funk of "Cumulus", where mutated drum patterns and vivid atmospherics loop together in a bold adventure into sound, STUFF. flex their muscular rhythm across T(h)reats, pushing the sound in to new dimensions. Elsewhere, "OB499" is a mesmeric mass of dark chords and uneasy bleeps while "Kwibus" is a skittish fusion of stuttered beats and ambient distortions. STUFF. released their debut EP in 2012 and in 2014, they were invited to perform a Boiler Room session for the prestigious global, online music broadcasting platform, the first European live band to do so. Releasing their self-titled debut album in 2015 to critical acclaim, a sold-out tour across Europe gained them further recognition and saw endorsements from BBC radio DJs Gilles Peterson and Phil Taggart. The follow-up album old dreams new planets released in 2017 topped the charts in Belgium. STUFF. have performed sold out shows across Europe and have gained a growing reputation for their explosive eclectic live sets, playing over 150 shows on such diverse stages as the North Sea Jazz Festival (Netherlands), Pukkelpop (Belgium), Secret Garden Party (UK), Shambala festival (UK), Dimensions (Croatia) and Fusion (Germany).

BUTBUT 030CD

With a wealth of support from the likes of Gilles Peterson and KUTMAH behind them, Belgian experimental collective STUFF. unleash their eponymous debut album, featuring nine hip hop-influenced instrumental cuts of chopped drums and syncopated rhythms. The five-piece are a renowned live entity, known for masterfully crossing the border between broken hip hop and jazz-influenced funk. Since forming in 2012, the group have secured high-profile support-slots for the likes of D'Angelo and legendary jazz pianist Robert Glasper, in addition to recording live remixes for Jungle and Little Dragon as part of their residence at Belgium's most famous concert hall, Ancienne Belgique. Opening track and lead single "Event Horizon" (chosen by Gilles Peterson as one of his Worldwide Winners of 2015) begins with warped synths and wavy melodies before erupting into unparalleled free-form jazz. Staying true to form, the track is laced with ambient electronic womps and rhythms, a signature element of the STUFF. makeup. "Skywalker" follows suit with expanding atmospheric textures, yet has a more contemporary feel, with articulated snare hits laying the foundations. STUFF. encompasses all elements of the band's sound throughout, from the smooth jazz tones in the outro of "Sifa" and wonky hip hop of "Java" to the downtempo grooves of "Caves." An explosive live force and the first European live band to be invited to perform a Boiler Room session, this talented five-piece are truly an act not to be missed. Artwork by renowned Belgian artist Rinus van de Velde, whose fans include the designer Paul Smith. Mastered by Daddy Kev (Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Jonwayne). CD includes extra track.
