kuf create emotion-laden dialogues across layers of time and dimensions of sound. voices recorded in private are chopped up and brought out center-stage to sing with beats hammered out right here and now. glowing synths push forward. basslines rise to grab the melodic role of a track while a vowel is truncated and locked into a grid, driving the rhythm. voices move within the frame of a sample, performed by hands pushing keys, guided by the ear, immersed in a trio sessions deep flowÉ a vortex of quirky hands, responsive ears and glowing circuits. since thomas a. edison first recorded the human voice in 1877, the recording arts have changed music forever. musicians have explored the endless possibilities of bouncing their input onto layers of tape, off the walls of an echo chamber or the circuitry of electronic helpers - technology that modulates, spatializes, shifts, divides or multiplies the work of human hands and mouths. an era of sampling offered a cubistic analysis of the recorded past and djs took dancers onto intricately fractured time travels. this is the historic foundation that kuf keep probing. just like the sampler and the dj before them, they found new ways to re-allocate where machine and man stand when making music together. most importantly, they turn the resulting friction into sparkling bursts of energy. Ôuniverse digs deeper into the android vocal chords. the album offers sweeping melodies, different beats and persistent bass. immerse in the intimacy of the voices, probably recorded in trains, backstage areas and at late night private parties during berlin lichtenberg warehouse rehearsals. by striking the keys, kuf squeeze out and serve up all the soul accumulated in those savory phonetic shreds.

in einer zeit der scheinbar unbegrenzten moeglichkeiten durch neueste produktionstechnik und unzaehlige samples und loops ist es axel ein anliegen, einen schritt zurźck zu gehen und sich zu limitieren, weg vom stereotypen / cleanen computerproduktionssound hin zum versuch, die musik wieder als versuch, als experiment zu begreifen. er verzichtet daher bei seinem 2. soloalbum auf die allgegenwaertigen bongoloops, ureinwohnergesaenge und whitenoiseatacken, kehrt zurueck zur drummaschine und zur melodie, die sich wie ein roter faden durch axels werk zieht. ob in den anfaengen als vanguard (mit asem shama), seinem kompaktkatalog, dem ersten soloalbum kiss auf karmarouge 2008 oder neuerer veroeffentlichungen auf sportclub, suol, get physical oder ostwind, immer verleihen melodien seinen stuecken eine besondere stimmung, die sie von den ueblichen dj-tools abgrenzen.

this is a journey into our sound! an album in a reserved spiritual cast, thats complete down to its individual tracks. spin this record any way you please. from a pure jammed out playfulness there grew a sparkling conversation between the winds and those with keys and sometimes a rugged funk, others a finely-sensed jazz, and then completely improvised. a music with value added for an urbane, scenic people and for everyone whose heart beats along.
