Seriously though, it’s mashed potatoes and gravy nu-jazz, with cornbread DRUM & BASS smothered in collared greens and a big ass side of sampledelic delight. Serving up today’s special: Live Brazillian-House and World-Beat gumbo with 5-pieces of funky fried electronica. Call it what you want… but this flava will have you coming back for more. Formed from the inspired spirit of the ’Tiny Universe’ (of Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe) BLUSIRKUT brings back together the musical genius, heart, and spirit of five souls lost in an increasingly specialized world of polarized genres. Bridge the gap, make the connection, and get your head wired to the sirkut…

     We've all performed with artists such as: The Allman Brothers Band, DJ Sasha, Soulive, Sound Tribe Sector Nine (STS9), The Mutaytor, Victor Wooten, Mark Farina, and countless others... break the genre... bridge the gap... the future is yours...

If you're just dying to know who we are:

Chris Littlefield
David Veith
Ryan Krieger
Alton Parker

Karl Denson's Tiny Universe' world-renowned musicians infuse live funk, acid-jazz and soul with electronic break-beats, drum & bass, world music and killer visuals.  A multimedia experience with a finger on the pulse of today's funktronic grooves!

     With their brand new release, “sMashed :: Best of BLUSIRKUT Live”, the musicians of 'KDTU' deliver a fresh new sound for rump-shaking aficionados searching for the perfect groove. BLUSIRKUT subtly blends 'St. Germaine' style riffs and 'Thievery Corporation' beats with the improvisational dynamic of a live band - infusing their long and distinguished history as traditional jazz/funk musicians with cutting edge technology. The band's Visualist/VJ also performs tightly integrated 'live' visuals designed in counterpoint to the music…

     Initially introduced to each other through Karl Denson, these virtuoso's have played venues around the world from the Fillmore in San Francisco to Madison Square Garden and the Blue Note in Tokyo.  They have pioneered ground-breaking grooves on a global stage for years and now they have unleashed their full talent and imagination into this deliciously experimental live dance music, surpassing all expectations and leaving current dance culture in the dust.

     What started as a collaboration in the recording studio quickly became a full blown project to explore new styles (Hip-Hop, Nu-Jazz, Drum-&-Bass, etc.), ultimately harvesting the best qualities of these sounds to perform live what many musicians can only accomplish in a studio. BLUSIRKUT is the sublime union of technology and talent, experience and enlightenment - serving as a platform for the next generation of production, composition & expression. Armed with an arsenal of digital tools - combined with a stunning array of traditional instruments and techniques - their sole intent is simple, they make you move... and they're good at it...

"BLUSIRKUT… blew the other two local bands away & were fantastic. A new kind of world funktronica that I found far superior to most of the organic techno (eg. zilla/disco biscuits/the duo). BLUSIRKUT played some updated sweet acid jazz with world flavors. It was great to see the guys in their own vehicle…" - Upstream Entertainment
