KVR brings together keyboardist Niels Broos (Jameszoo, Binkbeats), Dries Laheye (STUFF., Selah Sue) on bass and Lander Gyselinck (STUFF., Lander & Adriaan, BeraadGeslagen) on drums. Three exceptional talents, who combine their distinct musical identities to bring you the best party in town. Gyselinck’s high-energy frenetic drumming locks seamlessly into Laheye’s deep, driving basslines, while Broos — once hailed as one of the Netherlands’ most exceptional keyboard players — injects the music with a thrilling sense of controlled chaos.

Following 'Spam Vol. 1’ (2023), the trio returned with 'Spam Vol. 2’. In this project, KVR explores elastic notions of time, open-ended structures, organic textures, and the interplay between coincidence and intention The compositions emerged from an intense week of improvisation in Rotterdam — playful, restless, and instinctive sessions. Although these pieces were ultimately captured on record, they remain alive: constantly shifting, expanding, and transforming. Live, this results in a melting pot of improvisation and composition.
