Kikiwest is a California-based trip-hop band formed by Marc Jameson and Jacqueline Gallier. Their sound features a rhythmic core of downtempo drum & bass, hip-hop, and syncopated breaks, combined with samples from 60s-70s vinyls, standup bass, fuzz guitars, looped textures, flutes, and psychedelic randomness. Kikiwest achieves a balance between groove and melody, incorporating 'pop' elements in a non-pop way, reminiscent of bands like Portishead and UNKLE.
