SPINIFEX
With its fearsomely explosive combination of musicians, Spinifex is all about compelling grooves, strong dynamics and challenging improvisations. Named after a tough Australian species of grass, Spinifex may at first sound like a combination of jazzcore, math-metal and other typically Western contemporary music. However, beneath the surface the listener will discover ancient cyclical rhythms of Turkish and Indian origin.

Dennis Sekretarev – trumpet
Tobias Klein – alto saxophone
Jasper Stadhouders – guitar
Goncalo Almeida – bass
Philipp Moser – drums
