The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble
Experimental darkjazz and doomjazz performance featuring The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation.
The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation is a Dutch experimental collective founded in Utrecht in 2007 as the fully improvised alter ego of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, built around Jason Köhnen (bass, electronics) and Gideon Kiers (electronics). The group weaves drone metal, free jazz and dark ambient into slow, trance-like live sessions - each performance shaped by the room, the audience and the mood of the moment. After disbanding in late 2013, the original lineup reunited in 2025 and has been performing again since, with new music reportedly in progress.
In January 2026, TKDE and TMFDJC officially announced 10 new live shows for 2026 and stated that new music is in progress.
The band performed in Athens in July 2026, part of their ongoing 2026 live run.
The group's reunion show on August 29, 2025 at Lido in Berlin sold out, marking their first performance in over a decade.
On February 12, 2025, it was officially confirmed that TMFDJC would perform in their original lineup at Lido in Berlin on August 29, 2025.
On January 22, 2025, Jason Köhnen announced via his email newsletter that The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation was returning after an approximately 11-year hiatus.
