KiF

David “Fuze” Fiuczynski’s KiF layers Eastern-inflected melodies into high energy funk rock house ska reggae drumNbass electronica grooves into an other-worldly mix moving from swinging, danceable beats to plaintive meditations over lush, brooding and at times microtonal harmonies. KiF was conceived, quite appropriately, at a musical meeting in Marrakech where Moroccan players repeatedly mentioned that Jimi Hendrix had visited the country. Thus was the inspiration for KiF….. Jimi playing hard grooves with Mid-Eastern inflected melodies blending dervishes, minarets, spires, desert sands in the mind of an audience entranced by colorful, multi-cultural musical palettes… could this be the music that Jimi would play today?
