Powerful beats, lyrical chords, and enchanting melodies. Abekejser is a newcomer to the top of the Aarhus music scene. Five musicians with a shared experience in jazz and world music, as well as the strong electronic music artist Rasmus Fisker, have joined forces in an uncompromising project that is bound to blow listeners away. Based on powerful beats accompanied by both drums and an electronic drum machine, they go beyond with the big sound of synth bass, synthesisers, and guitar with effects. Powerful beats, lyrical chords and enchanting melodies. All this creates Abekejser's associations with artists such as Jaga Jazzist, Steve Reich, and Flying Lotus. The five musicians are all active in the Aarhus music scene, have played numerous concerts across a broad range of projects and artists, and have played together for years in various groups. Jon Døssing Bendixen, Adrian Christensen, and Frederik Emil Bülow are members of Bangin' Bülows Nice Jazz Quartet, who won a DMA award for "new jazz artist of the year" last year. Additionally, Jon Døssing Bendixen and Jeppe Lavsen have played and released music as the duo Frost. The final band member, Rasmus Fisker, has released music as a solo artist on the record label Clang. Although Abekejser is still a relatively new band, their ambitions are sky-high. With subliminal musical skill, as well as music with an international appeal, it is Abekejser's intention to build bridges between instrumental music and the popular mainstream.
