Steppin' presents: .multibeat (Live at Hidden Gem Studio)

About this event

In collaboration with Amarte Funds, Steppin’ Into Tomorrow is continuing the series of intimate live performances in a fresh new space, Hidden Gem Studio in Amsterdam. Next up: .multibeat

Taking inspiration from their diverse surroundings, Future Jazz trio .multibeat bring the broad
churches of hip hop and jazz together to create something that is uniquely theirs, keeping
the latter part of their sobriquet pulsating at the centre of everything they do. Influenced by
Robert Glasper and J Dilla, as well as the current wave of UK jazz, the core trio of Boudewijn
Pleij on keys, Thijs van Zutphen on bass and Aron Smit on drums also find inspiration by
working with a wide range of, mostly local, artists. They released their debut album, entitled Toolbox, in 2022 in collaboration with Dutch beatmaker and producer Noflik, followed by the A Muddy, What Else? EP a year later, which really brought their beat driven future jazz sound to the fore. Their second album, entitled Channel Island, was released in 2024, and the collaborations continued apace with Pete Philly, Joya Mooi, GINGE and Butcher Brown horn player and rapper Marcus “Tennishu”
Tenney all featured. Having released the more crossover Have A Nice Weekend EP in 2025, the collective return to their eclectic underground roots with their third LP, and first to be released on esteemed Berlin imprint Sonar Kollektiv, entitled OOO in the autumn of 2026. The album reflects their
strong independent spirit, whilst staying true to their live sound, and maintaining the theme of
collaboration which has featured so strongly throughout their work.
