DJ GRAZZHOPPA’S DJ BIGBAND JAMSESSION (BE/NL)
Noted turntablist, DJ Grazzhoppa along with DJ Courtasock and DJ Optimus investigate the possibilities of the turntable
in dialogue with a live instrument, this time provided by saxophonist Vincent Brijs (Brazzaville). Improvisation lays at the foundation
of this experiment, as they explore new rhythms and funky melodies to deliver a dynamic groove experience.
[Think: Roland Kirk jamming with GrandMixer DXT]
