Another Monday, another five slices, more stuff, this time some actual Stuff, five slices of music that have crossed our path in the last week…

1: STUFF are a Belgian electronic jazz flavoured outfit, they’re just let loose this new track “Strata”, a track from their new album “Old Dreams, New Planets” which in turn is set to be released on April 28^th

 

Stuff are  “a 5-headed instrumental cyclops that takes you through a journey of mashed up grooves and eclectic sounds. The band’s highly anticipated new album ‘old dreams new planets’, released 28^th April 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, STtuff. 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  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. In 2014, Stuff were invited to perform a Boiler Room session for the prestigious global, online music broadcasting platform, the first European live band to do so. 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”.

Apparently we’re supposed to type it as STUFF. with that annoying full stop, we can’t be mangling things with full stops in the wrong place and stuff, stuff that.  Stuff have some UK dates coming up this April, here they are…  Wed 12^th  – LONDON, Assembly Hall, Camden, Thur 13^th  – LEEDS, Lending Room, Fri 14^th – MANCHESTER, Band on the Wall, Sat 15^th – BRISTOL,  The Old Malthouse, Sun 16^{th –}BRIGHTON,  Rose Hill   For more details and stuff head here

AND BEFORE WE GO…..

And before we go, a quick word from Miraculous Mule on Chuck Berry – “Down bound Train” was one of the first songs we played as Miraculous Mule and it set the pace for what would be our first proper album. Chuck was a pioneer, a poet and one hell of a performer. RIP Chuck Berry. Here’s a track he released back in 1955.  Miraculous Mule launch their new album at the Water Rats in London on March 23rd, that’s this week….
