Following the international acclaim and German Jazz Award-nominated success of their 2025 debut album, MYT, Berlin-based group Moses Yoofee Trio now return with their new EP, Chasing Light. Across six tracks, the group distils the live energy of hours spent in their Neukölln rehearsal room, delivering their most instinctive and infectiously unrestrained record to date. Produced by the band and mixed by their long-time collaborator oh.no.ty, Chasing Light is available on vinyl.
“We wanted to be in our own space to create a special atmosphere that would be relaxed and leave us free to explore,” pianist Moses Yoofee says. “We played for a week straight, borrowing mics and pressing record at certain points or just jamming ideas. It was super DIY and the playfulness of it meant we could push ourselves out of our comfort zones to play in a way we’re not used to.”
Coming off a jam-packed tour through Asia, the US and Europe across 2025, their self-recording week of musical exploration resulted in Chasing Light, which builds on the trio’s jazz and hip-hop influenced improvisations to create a lively and expansive new sound. From the frenetic breakbeats and siren-like synth lines of ‘Nothing To Lose’ to the strings-laden harmonic lusciousness of the title track, the afrobeat syncopations of ‘Inner Circles’ and the hip-hop swagger of ‘Honest’, Chasing Light invites listeners into the tight-knit trio’s world of intuitive self-expression and artful post-production embellishment, creating an EP that sits between the explosiveness of the present moment and the careful layering of arrangements.
“We kept all our options open and it created a vibe where anything was possible,” bassist Roman Klobe says. “We didn’t leave until we had something special.”
