"They reimagine elements of fusion jazz from the 1970s in a contemporary context,
bringing it into the present, the 21st century."

- Andreas Felber, OE1 ( 2020)

Electrocosmic Avant-Jazz and free improvisation combined with a big devotion to machines and experiments. Sometimes the soundtrack for a scary b-movie, sometimes for a vintage western fairytale, sometimes for a chicken slaughter. Or everything at the same time?

The Viennese formation Teleport Collective (formerly known as Killah Tofu) was founded in 2014 by Aaron Maria Steiner (keys, sampling, lights), Michael Naphegyi (drums, toys, electronics) and Joachim Huber (bass, tiny machines). They released their debut album "Do The Pump" in 2017 (recognized as one of the Top 10 Albums from Austria in 2017 by Beatboxx), and their second album "Scarraphon" in 2019. Throughout the past years, their live concerts have progressively evolved into captivating amalgamations of composition, improvisation, and experiments with various sonic elements. Various feature guests expand the band's musical spectrum both on stage and in the studio. In 2023 they launched an event series that takes place on selected tuesdays at the well-known club for viennese underground, the rhiz.

Their new album »A Monolith‘s Dream« will be out on September 20th 2024. The double-LP is released via the internationally recognized label Col Legno.

First Single is out on April 26th.
