KAU trio.

KAU trio. is an instrumental project based in Brussels. Representing various European backgrounds, their coming-together is in the spirit of the city they grew up in. Taking inspiration from jazz, they create a head-bobbing atmosphere using broken beats and heavy grooves while leaving space for improvisation. Influenced by artists like BADBADNOTGOOD & Christian Scott, their music is singular and audacious.

After falling into the ears of tastemaker Lefto and featured on his latest Jazz Cats Volume II, the band was invited on Kiosk Radio & aired on WORLDWIDE FM. After releasing their first beat tape in October 2020 and a second EP "II" in September 2021, they have been described as a promising upcoming nu-jazz band in Belgium. KAU continues its journey with a third release in October 2022.

BEAT TAPE VOL. I - EP

October 2020

Recorded during a summer week in the German countryside, in an attempt to escape 2020 society, the three KAUs came together to renew their old-time bond and to reconnect with nature. The result is a 12 short-tracks EP, in which they meticulously mixed beat structures, with juicy grooves leaks and electro soundscapes, exploring different horizons from dark trip-hop auras to Japanese funk, whilst keeping an organicness in their sound.

II - EP

September 2021

"II" is the second EP released by KAU trio. . After experimenting with beats and live instruments, this second opus marks the evolution towards a more hybrid and powerful sound, defined by their willingness to create extended compositions while keeping space for the unplanned. The bobbing and gritting atmosphere reigning in this EP is in the continuum of their first release, keeping in touch with their identity

Mad Max - Single

Release 01/07/22

Mad Max is the first single of the new ep "III" that will be released in October 2022.

This track is the fruit of a collaboration that started a couple of months earlier with the French saxophonist Maxime Dereux, who inspired us with the title of the track. Mad is for the crazy side of the song, Max stands for Maxime's genius and his ability to agitate the frequencies.

KAU trio. is Jan Janzen (keys), André Breidlid (drums) & Matteo Genovese
