nikitch & kuna maze: débuts
Francisco Espregueira
Following the tasty Mush EP from last year, Nikitch & Kuna Maze deliver their first full album entitled Débuts, via the Tru Thoughts powerhouse. Like its predecessor, the LP explores the meeting point between jazz and club culture. Both with jazz and classical background training in music, the duo easily interpret, delivering a live feeling in their productions, signature sounds of broken beat, Chicago footwork, UK garage and Detroit house.
While some of the tracks were already included in Mush, Débuts is a step forward in the band’s musical and creative development, much due to touring extensively around Europe with a live drummer. Creating compositions using their common chemistry - blurring the lines between improvisation, production and the art of DJing - Nikitch & Kuna Maze express potential, invention, groove. Débuts is available in vinyl, via Tru Thoughts.
