New CD: DEFAULT (INTAKT RECORDS), Release 01/2024
At the helm of this anachronistic, Brexit smashing monster Ydivide is the young, up-and-coming swiss drummer Clemens Kuratle.
His ability to condense his socio-political observations into music has earned him acclaim far and wide. Kuratle’s compositions serve as the foundation for Ydivide’s sonic explorations, and his ability to seamlessly weave together various musical influences creates a tapestry of sound that captivates and challenges the listener.
Founded in 2019, this group is not confined by the traditional boundaries of a certain style of creative music. Instead, they revel in pushing the envelope, seamlessly blending jazz with avant-garde, and various elements of global sounds.
The result is a genre-defying, dynamic sound that takes the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions, from introspective moments of reflection to explosive bursts of energy, yet always embracing one of the core qualities of #BAM, that is: Groove – Maybe just not the one you expect.
