RWKUS 4th April
Apr 4, 2025, 7:30 pm
RWKUS bring their high-energy fusion of electronic jazz, Jungle & Broken-Beat to 12 Bar.
RWKUS are an electronic jazz trio hailing from Bristol, blending the energy of Jungle and Broken-Beat with a deep "jazz" sensibility. Improvisation weaves their songs together, creating spontaneous musical adventures performed ‘on the fly’—much like a great DJ set.
Having played extensively in various projects (featuring members of Snazzback, Cousin Kula, and Madly) and running jam sessions for several years, RWKUS boasts an instinctual musical connection that makes for an electrifying live show. Recently, they have been captivating audiences with live interpretations of classic ‘90s Jungle and Hardcore music in packed-out nightclubs across Bristol. Their original sound has drawn comparisons to Yussef Kamaal, Richard Spaven, and Kaidi Tatham.
With an extensive UK tour history and appearances at major festivals including Glastonbury, Shambala, and Boomtown, RWKUS have also made their mark across Europe, playing in France, Belgium, and Germany. Their debut EP, Music from the Chamber, dropped in Summer 2022, and they are set to release new music in Summer 2025. Their most recent release, ‘Ricochet,’ a live video filmed in the derelict upstairs of Ashton Court in Bristol, showcases their dynamic energy.
