Imagine two cats at a standoff, getting ready to fight. Circling eye to eye, ears pinned back they attack and tumble entangled within one another.

Dubbed by NYC Takeover as ‘the revolution waiting to erupt’ the latest Kut is fierce; pepper sprayed with haunting melodies, driving beats and unapologetically packed with grrrl power.
