SUPPORT: STUFF.
STUFF. stands for cool beats, crazy improvisations, dangerous synth lines and alien grooves. They form a unique-sounding concept band and use samples and loops as a framework for adventurous, technically advanced jam sessions. With J Dilla, Kraftwerk, Flying Lotus and Hudson Mohawke as sources of inspiration, they bring their own sound that they sometimes describe as Live GlitchTripHop. Already world famous in Ghent due to the magical jam sessions in White Cat.
