BLUSIRKUT :: Band Meeting :: www.blusirkut.com

Watch the band as we try to figure out how to define ourselves - as BLUSIRKUT (musicians from Karl Denson's Tiny Universe).

With their first (self-titled) E.P. release, the musicians of 'KDTU' step up and deliver this fresh new sound for rump-shaking aficionados searching for the perfect groove 'BLUSIRKUT' subtly blends 'St. Germaine' style riffs and 'Thievery Corporation' beats with the improvisational dynamic of a live band - infusing their long and distinguished history as industry leading jazz/funk musicians with cutting edge technology. To top it off, the band's visualist performs tightly integrated 'live' visuals designed in direct tandem with the music (this ain't your mother's VJ)...

Originating from Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, these virtuoso's have played venues around the world from the Fillmore in San Francisco to Madison Square Garden and the Blue Note in Tokyo. They have pioneered ground-breaking grooves on a global stage for years and now they have unleashed their full talent and imagination into this deliciously experimental live dance music, surpassing all expectations and leaving current dance culture in the dust.

What started as a collaboration in the recording studio quickly became a full blown project to explore new styles (Hip-Hop, Nu-Jazz, Drum-&-Bass, etc.), ultimately harvesting the best qualities of these sounds to perform live what most musicians can only do in a studio. " BLUSIRKUT" is the sublime union of technology, talent, experience, enlightenment, and devotion - serving as a platform for the next generation of production, composition & expression. Armed with an arsenal of video projectors, digital effects, laptops, synthesizers, and drum machines - combined with a stunning array of traditional instruments and techniques - their sole intent is simple, they make you move... and they're good at it...

BLUSIRKUT blew the other two local bands away & were fantastic. A new kind of world funktronica that I found far superior to most of the organic techno (eg. zilla/disco biscuits/the duo). BLUSIRKUT played some updated sweet acid jazz with world flavors. It was great to see the guys in their own vehicle! -Upstream Entertainment
