B\u0142oto is a Polish instrumental group that formed spontaneously in 2018 during an impromptu session while on tour with the larger jazz band EABS, with some of its members jamming to fill the free time between concerts. B\u0142oto stands for reduction, or a shift towards a more brutal and rudimentary, groove-focused expression rooted in hip-hop \u2013 with loose references to the gritty, sampladelic sound of the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Their music is grounded in massive, looping structures, where heavy basslines, precise drumbeats, and repetitive motifs take centre stage, evolving through subtle improvisation. While jazz remains ever-present as a substructure, B\u0142oto deliberately avoid complexity for complexity\u2019s sake, instead prioritising feeling, texture, and hypnotic rhythm. The result is both minimal and intense \u2013 a sound that is at once direct, raw, and relentless.<\/p>\n

Released in 2020, the quartet\u2019s debut album, Erozje<\/em>, is a minimalist yet massive soundscape of decay and transfiguration. Beyond their classic album projects, the band is also known for numerous tributes dedicated to one of hip-hop\u2019s most influential producers, J Dilla, culminating in the 2026 release of We Remember J Dilla.<\/em><\/p>\n
