RKDIA at Kayak Bar

RKDIA kommer endnu en gang på Kayak Bar torsdag den 28. august 2021 til en gratis koncert udenfor kl 20.00.
Ingen bordbookinger - kom i god tid.

Danish Morten Schantz (synth+vocals) and Swedish-Norwegian Anton Eger (drums) are well- known names on the jazz and fusion scenes around the world. For many years now, and as parts of different crews, they’ve been taking the jazz logic hardwired in their brains and applying it to all sorts of new and unconventional places.
RKDIA might be their most explosive formular yet.

For many years now, and as parts of different crews, they’ve been taking the jazz logic hardwired in their brains and applying it to all sorts of new and unconventional places.
RKDIA might be their most explosive formular yet.
This is the mind of jazz sprawled onto pop retro-futurism.
With RKDIA, they come together in a burst of color and rhythm. Armed with technical brilliance and a penchant for the epic, the duo spin up forceful and hypnotic works that inject the free kinetic of jazz into synth-based electronica and cascading power pop. It’s a sound of its own. One minute it goes to the body in pulsating blows like house music. The next, it envelops you in warm- blooded synth-pop pathos. The improvisational grip runs deep through the tracks.

It’s the sound of musical DNA fragments being dissolved and re-configured in real-time. Something that probably needs to be heard – preferably live.
RKDIA released their debut single on March 12th. Their debut album is set to be released in late 2021 on Danish label Music For Dreams. So far, they’ve just played a handful of smaller shows, trying to make it work within Corona-restrictions. Judging from the early response, though, they seem to have struck something special.
For a band of two, they make a hell of a roar on that stage. The music shimmers and sparks but it’s also layered - a zone of both blazing intensity and starry-eyed beauty, spun up between these boisterous nerds of instrument whose stories you can read on the next page.
