Back to Mine with STUFF

Africa Hitech – Future Moves

Amazing track from a great album, African rhythms with electronics is a winnen for the dance floor.

Omni – Raindrops

Omni is an LA based emcee who has been active since the end of the nineties. He started of in a HH collective called BLX/Gershwin, and he s been working with producers like Tricky (Massive Attack) and DJ Grazzhoppa amongst others. He now releases tracks  under the name “Iamomni”. The song Raindrops also features Monique Harcum, from Mo&Grazz, on the hook and was produced by Mixmonster Menno (1/5th of STUFF.), back in 2004.

 

Lone – Airglow Fires

This addictive shuffle beat and melody will have you moving in no time.

 

Charlie Haden ft Alice Coltrane -- For Turya

The most intense and truthful melodies (jazz) history has known, were played by bass player Charlie Haden (Ornette Coleman, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett…).  For Turya is definitely a sonic proof of that. It’s a lovely though sad conversation between a mourning Charlie Haden and the warm and consoling harp strokes of Alice Coltrane.

 

Dr. John – Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya

Great artist, great album, great song. If you don’t know it -> check it out!

 

Georgia Ann Muldrow –  Fifth Shield

The MC and producer who got me interested in rap music. Fat beat and killer lyrics. More hip hop like this please!

 

Internal Sun – Science Friction

Science frictions is our favorite track from the first Internal Sun album. Internal Sun is the alias of STUFF.’s sax-player, Andrew Claes, who always looks for new things in the musical spectrum to create his own sound. A very strong and original sound.

 

David Byrne and Brian Eno – America is waiting

Two all-time favourites who are having fun in the studio. New inspiring way of using samples. And listen to Bill Laswell’s bass!

Plaid – Hawkmoth

These electronic pioneers always write beautiful harmonies and melodies. Mixed with their hyperclean sound it’s a treat for the ear.

 

STUFF ‘Old Dreams, New Planets’ (Sdban Ultra)

The band’s highly anticipated new album ‘old dreams new planets’, released 28th April 2017 on Sdban Ultra, is a cross genre groove, spanning broken hip-hop, electronica and jazz-influenced future funk, bringing forth a completely different and exciting sound.

With fans that include Plaid, Kev Beadle, Kutmah, Lefto and Gilles Peterson, STUFF. began life in 2012 when drummer Lander Gyselinck was asked to play live music in-between DJ sets. Collecting together like-minded musician friends, they would keep the vibe of the room bubbling, with spaced-out jams and improvisation, taking elements of funk, RNB, electronica, jazz and hip-hop, forming their own compositions as a result.

Hotly tipped in Belgium as one of the country’s brightest new hopes, they released their first EP the same year, which included the track D.O.G.G. and it caught the attention of bloggers, 22tracks and DJs across Paris and Brussels. Supports slots with D’Angelo and Robert Glasper soon followed and the band would go on to share the stage at the Dour Festival with Hiatus Koyote, Flying Lotus and Lefto.

The band’s self-titled debut album, released in 2015, received critical acclaim, with the Belgian press citing the release as the “record of the year” and “the best thing that happened musically in Belgium since the last 25 years”. Mastered by Daddy Kev (Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Jon Wayne), several tracks from the album received airplay on leading dance and electronica radio stations across Europe, and included support from Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 Music and Phil Taggart on BBC Radio 1.

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). The band were also personally invited by Gilles Peterson to perform at On Blackheath, London.
