50 Jahre Knust: Summer Groove w/ Guts & friends

On 30 July 2026, Guts and friends will take the stage at Knust, Neuer Kamp 30, 20357 Hamburg, for Summer Groove. The French beatmaker and producer spent a long time shaping the tracks of Alliance Ethnik, the Svinkels and Big Red from behind the scenes before carving out his own path with solo albums such as Le Bienheureux, Freedom and Hip Hop After All. His sound blends funk, soul, reggae, hip‑hop and influences from many corners of the world — warm, rhythm‑driven and built on sampling.

Guts works like a patient digger: basslines, drums and organic samples interlock to form instrumental narratives with room for detail. Live he translates this openness into motion — seamless transitions, unexpected connections, a groove that pulls rather than pushes. Together with his guests he broadens the spectrum from old‑school boom‑bap moments to tropical hues, without sticking to genre boundaries. An evening for anyone who loves sampling culture, deep grooves and sounds from around the world.
