The Kraut Jazz Futurism compilation shows what’s cookin’ in the new German Jazz scene. Young German bands and a few of the international musicians working in Berlin now. Fresh artists that combine Jazz, Kraut Rock, Afro, Hip Hop and Electronica in a new way.
The first part of the compilation came out last year and was described by The Wire as „… a re-drawn map of underground Berlin. Refreshingly new, eccentric, badassed and sometimes funny.“
This second part goes further. Similar to Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here compilation, where he shows mainly the new hip english Jazz artists, on Kraut Jazz Futurism Kryptox records head honcho Mathias „Kapote“ Modica puts together what’s hot in the new club jazz scene in Germany. And there is a lot cookin’ in Berlin right now. Kraut Jazz Futurism comes out on Kryptox. Sublabel of Gomma & Toy Tonics records.
