AMAGUK is a dedicated and ambitious power-trio, driven by their shared passion for creating innovative music. Their style is a seamless blend of punk, jazz, D&B, and Mediterranean-influenced sounds. Inimitable and unique, somewhere between King Crimson, Jojo Mayer, and Black Midi. The band members, originally from Spain, Italy; and Greece, are currently based in Rotterdam.

AMAGUK is a one-of-a-kind band that stands out from the rest by doing things differently. The band's main distinctive feature is the lack of a - bassist. An unconventional set-up made possible by the modifications on their instruments which allows them to take on the role of the bassist alternatively. This, combined with a deep understanding of effects and electronics, allows them to be more experimental and free with their compositions, resulting in a unique sound.

In 2019 they released their first EP Amaguk and in 2021 they released their first album Resilient Forest which they presented with beautiful merchandise. In May 2023 the band released Xenitia, a live recorded EP, and by the end of the year they are set to record their second album.

This now works are highly anticipated and is sure to showcase their continued growth and evolution as a band. Over the last years they have extensively tour in London, Spain,-Greece, Berlin, and Netherlands and have performed at important international festivals such as North Sea Jazz, WOMAD, or Music Meeting amongst many others.
