Following the international acclaim 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. The EP will be available on vinyl and via all digital platforms from May 29, 2026. The first two singles are out now.

“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 afrobeat syncopations of ‘INNER CIRCLES’ and the hip-hop swagger of ‘HONEST’, the EP invites listeners into the tight-knit trio’s world of intuitive self-expression and artful post-production embellishment.

“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.”

Drawing on those brainstorming sessions, the group came up with tracks like ‘INNER CIRCLES‘. Meanwhile, ‘HONEST and ‘KRAUT‘ emerged from pure, in the moment jams. Taking this recorded material away, the group then spent weeks editing and crafting finished tracks, as well as calling in features from German talents Mulay and Ahmad Mateen.

Ultimately, the creative openness of ‘CHASING LIGHT’ is testament to Moses Yoofee Trio’s growth as a group over the past six years. “We’ve all grown more together and we’re more honest with each other now,” Moses says. “We’ve always been doing exactly whatever we wanted but now we’re even more comfortable with our weirdness and only making or playing what feels true to us.”

Harnessing that ethos of authenticity, Moses Yoofee Trio will be hitting the road throughout Europe and across festival season this summer, while they also have plans to record another EP later in the year and keep developing new techniques to hone their irrepressible sound. “We feel super inspired,” Roman says. “Our experimenting is only going to continue.”
