Kliptown Krate Diggers // A Sonic Fiction

(This is a conceptual project created in collaboration with AI. The band, its members, and its history are a fictional narrative. All tracks are instrumental.)

Welcome to the world of the Kliptown Krate Diggers, an AI-generated jazz/hip-hop collective born from a prompt.

The story goes: a forgotten crate of American jazz vinyls and the dust of late-80s Soweto. A generation of imagined musicians fusing the boom-bap and early hip hop with the spiritual jazz of South Africa, all without a single word. This is a sonic fiction, an exploration of a purely instrumental sound that could have been—a cipher where every bassline tells a story and every horn line asks a question.
