Mopcut ft. MC dälek
Free jazz improvisation: check. Punk approach: check. Sound art extravaganza: check. Mopcut is the extraordinary trio consisting of experimental vocalist and electronic musician Audrey Chen; one of Europe’s most renowned percussionists Lukas Koenig; and French guitar-eccentric Julien Desprez. Their energy driven, raging tracks oscillate between unleashed free expression and tamed, tight noise. Structured around ecstatic micro-explosions, they resemble an imaginary form of communication. As a genre liquefying statement, the band’s new album RYOK opens with a brainy fragmentation of grooves and rock riffs to resolve into a noisy hip-hop track with guest appearance from avant rap vanguard MC dälek, who will join them on stage at Le Guess Who? 2025.
