Ouck Fff's 'Pleasure' is Born From Heavy Loss and Inherited Gear
Rather than relying on pre-made loops or laptop setups, this Portland trio plays electronic music entirely live.

After losing his best friend two years ago, Andrew Meininger inherited his music gear, learned to play his guitar, and began experimenting with his effects pedals. That emotional pivot led to Ouck Fff, a collaborative trio dedicated to performing electronic dance music without a single pre-programmed track, loop, or sample. Their July release, 'Pleasure', is a raw, fast-paced piece of indie dance built around real instruments and a heavily processed Electro Harmonix voice box. It feels deliberately unpolished, chaotic, and deeply human, serving as a direct tribute to a late friend through the very gear he left behind.
