Unknown Waveforms - Restrung 🎻x 🎹 (EP)

Out on March 20th 2026

KAU return with Unknown Waveforms Restrung, a new EP that revisits material from their latest album through the lens of acoustic collaboration. Featuring reimagined versions of cr_eye, isle_of_man and dive_deep, the release was recorded during a live studio session with Cologne based string ensemble blu/quartet. Rather than simple adaptations, these versions offer deeper reinterpretations of the original compositions through newly developed arrangements. The release expands KAU’s sound by introducing acoustic instrumentation into the band’s signature blend of heavy bass, intricate drum patterns and synthesizers. Classical harmony has long been embedded in the band’s writing, evident in earlier tracks such as Kautokeino and Alaska, making the collaboration with a string quartet feel like a natural progression rather than a stylistic detour. The new arrangements heighten the music’s cinematic quality, amplifying its sense of tension, release and atmosphere.

Kaugummi / Mad Kau (EP)

Released on September 13th 2024

Following their debut album release, KAU amps up the energy with this new track. Intricate synthesizer arrangements intertwine seamlessly with rapid drum patterns and deep, resonant basslines. The trio exudes an authentic band dynamic, infusing elements of jazztronica that morph into a realm reminiscent of Flying Lotus. Picture the fusion of UK jazz with the innovative soundscape of Brussels, offering a refreshing sonic journey.

III - EP

Released 28.10.22

EP III is the latest collaboration between the three core members of the band and Maxime Dereux, talented French saxophonist already guested on the previous EP II. Having built strong musical ties over the course of the last years, the idea to make more music together arose naturally without a shadow of a doubt.

The result is a 4 track EP with a high concentration of powerful riffs and sharp themes. The title song 'Mad Max' perfectly represents madness incarnated. On 'Moonwalker' they go to new places with ever-changing melodies and sax lines. This new EP also features Brussels-born and bred rapper Jay MNG. Enraged, banging in whatever language that may be, Dutch, French or English, he manages to put his stamp on the atmosphere & vibe of the tracks 'Time Chamber' and 'Diva 2.0'

BEAT TAPE VOL. I - EP

Released October 2020

Recorded during a summer week in the German countryside, in an attempt to escape 2020 society, the three KAUs came together to renew their old-time bond and to reconnect with nature. The result is a 12 short-tracks EP, in which they meticulously mixed beat structures, with juicy grooves leaks and electro soundscapes, exploring different horizons from dark trip-hop auras to Japanese funk, whilst keeping an organicness in their sound.
