INFO
KAU is an instrumental project based in Brussels consisting of André Breidlid (drums), Matteo Genovese (bass) & Jan J anzen (keys). Representing various European backgrounds, their coming-together i s in the spirit of the city they grew up in.
Taking inspiration from jazz, they create a head-bobbing atmosphere using bassy beats and catchy m elodies. By implementing acoustic instruments, the trio stays true to an organic and rich sound, granting themselves the liberty for improvisation & spontaneous happenings. Influenced by artists like BADBADNOTGOOD & Christian Scott, their m usic is contemporary, powerful, and audacious.
The EP "III" is the c ollaboration between the three core members of the band and Maxime Dereux, talen ted French saxophonist already guested on "II". Having built strong musical ties over the course of the last years, the idea to make more music together arose n aturally without a shadow of a doubt.
The result is a 4 track EP with a high concentration of powerful riffs and sharp themes. The title song 'Mad Ma x' perfectly represents madness incarnated. On "Moonwalker" they go to new place s with ever-changing melodies and sax lines. 4 minutes of holding on to your sea t in anticipation of the next measure.
This EP also features Brussels born and bred rapper "Jay MNG" who has made a name for himself around many conc ert halls & festivals in Belgium. Having collaborated notably with Commander Spo on and Kuna Maze, the polylinguistic rhymes of Jay MNG left a mark on this emerg ing music scene. Enraged, banging in whatever language that may be, Dutch, Frenc h or English, he manages to make a massive impact on the atmosphere of the track s and add his own flavour.
