With f ans that include Plaid, Kev Beadle, Kutmah, Lefto and Gilles Peterson, STUFF. be gan life in 2012 when drummer Lander Gyselinck was asked to play live music in-b etween DJ sets. Collecting together like-minded musician friends, they would kee p the vibe of the room bubbling, with spaced-out jams and improvisation, taking elements of funk, RNB, electronica, jazz and hip-hop, forming their own composit ions as a result.
Hotly tipped in Belgium as one of the country's brightest new hopes, they released their first EP the same year, which included the track D.O.G.G. and it caught the attention of bloggers, 22tracks and DJs across Paris and Brussels.
