Electric Kif

Electric Kif are a Miami-based power quartet that explore the boundaries between rock, jazz fusion and electronic drum & bass. Made up of bassist Rodrigo Zambrano, keyboardist Jason Matthews, drummer Armando Lopez and guitarist Eric Escanes, Electric Kif formed as an outlet for the musicians to stretch out and be themselves between recording sessions and touring with other artists. By 2017 the guys decided to shift gears a bit, and commit to Electric Kif as their primary project.  They started touring out of South Florida, and the Electric Kif national journey began.  They developed new music, videos, and performed in every new market that welcomed them. These efforts brought about appearances at the Rochester International Jazz Festival, Ground Up Music Festival, Bear Creek Festival, Miami Downtown Jazz Festival, Hullaween, and more.  “Originally setting out to create its own genre — “postnuclear,” or electronic music with analog instruments — Electric Kif has slowly gravitated toward a heavier, rock-based sound, though strains of funk and jazz fusion remain embedded in the group’s DNA.” (Miami New Times)
