HiveMind - international danish energy bomb. HiveMind is a young, energetic, fresh and modern take on a jazz group. Beats, raw energy and a direct sound is the foundation of the HiveMind universe.

The group consists of an international mix of people, but based on the evolving jazzscene in Aalborg, Denmark. HiveMind is taking inspiration from both modern jazz, rock, fusion and latin grooves, while it all mixes up in the mysterious Mind of the Hive.

On the Baltic Tour 24 the Hive will feature piano-beater Luka Dgebuadze and saxophone-slayer Toms Rudzinskis. Along with the core of the Aalborg bois, almost born and raised, Rasmus and Anders.

For the last couple of years HiveMind has been playing and experimenting with creating a jazz-hybrid that would be able to include elements from a wide range of genres like rock, hip-hop, latin, fusion and jazz. Rasmus and Anders created the band as a vehicle to work with a variety of musicians at the same time. Now going on their first ever international tour the group will feature one ofthe top jazz players in the Baltic, Toms Rudzinskis along with the Aalborg based Georgian pianist Luka Dgebuadze. HiveMind has been working immensely in Denmark setting up concerts in unconventional places, featuring different musicians from the local talent and has grown to become a well known local group.

In the summer 2024 HiveMind was selected as a showcase band for the international jazz festival, Supernova Jazz Blast. A listening panel including bookers, venue-directors, radio hosts etc. from Lithuania, Hungary, Spain and Denmark. Prepare for a night of wild and raw jazz energy with HiveMind.
