Moses Yoofee Trio – MYT"In February, Berlin’s Moses Yoofee Trio released their debut full-length album MYT, a transcendent 13-track excursion through modern jazz, experimental hip-hop, and broken-beat IDM. Comprised of bandleader Moses Yoofee (keys), Roman Klobe-Barangă (bass), and Noah Fürbringer (drums), the group operates with telepathic synergy, laying dense foundations and intricate, propulsive rhythms with a buoyant thump. An accomplished electronic producer in the post-dubstep diaspora, Yoofee flexes impressive instrumental mojo here; his piano and keyboards weave hypnotic motifs and modal melodies layered with shimmering textures. While the crew is clearly influenced by the revolutionary styles of Madlib, Flying Lotus, and J Dilla, their sound carries the virtuoso verve of Robert Glasper’s experimental side. Yoofee’s contributions effectively contrast his partners’ rhythmic complexity, as Klobe-Barangă and Fürbringer anchor the ride with potent polyrhythms and sophisticated syncopation. Manifesting “emotions, moments, and bangers,” MYT is an intense, technically sophisticated explosion of sound that communicates through abundant groove." - bg~ Upful Life 2025: Favorite Records & More! ~9th annual compendium of reviews, recommendations, & playlists***LlNK lN Bl0***- please consider supporting this work! 🙏 ❤️ -@mosesyoofeetrio @mo_yoofee ...
