"intense. As mind-frying as the bloopiest early acid house." 4/5 MOJO

“It's a compelling debut of intelligent, exiting stuff. Genres be damned, this is simply great music."

K-X-P is a drums, bass and synth trio from Helsinki, Finland, comprised of Timo Kaukolampi (electronics, vocals), Tuomo Puranen (bass and keyboards) and rotating drummers Anssi Nykänen and Tomi Leppanen. They initially began to form in 2006, their self-titled album finally released by Smalltown Supersound Records in December of 2009.

The band mixes electronics, krautrock, and even rockabilly into a hypnotic and minimal motorik groove. The musical background of K-X-P's members ranges from the disco-idiotism-turned-into

-spiritual-hide-and-seek of Op:l Bastards, to the fusion and free jazz explorations of Pekka Pohjola, (of which Anssi Nykanen was a member and so was Jimi Tenor) to the East European soulscapes of Tomi Leppanen's former band, Aavikko.

Glasgow’s DJ duo Optimo has also been a strong supporter of the band from the beginning, remixing their new album "18 Hours of Love".
