#ArtistOfTheWeek: @str4ta_music is long-time friends and collaborators, Gilles Peterson (@gillespeterson) & Jean-Paul “Bluey” Maunick (@incognito_world), reinvigorating the loose, protean energy of the early-80s Brit-funk scene. 📀 STR4TA sees them mine new musical possibilities out of that shared formative era. Bringing a fresh slant to a sound first developed by groups like Atmosfear, Hi-Tension, Light of the World and Freeez – with Maunick, it should be noted, also a member of the latter two bands – it’s the first material that Maunick and Peterson have released together in over a decade. 📀 Their new album STR4TASFEAR is a collection of songs, melodies, grooves and sounds that sit perfectly in the brand new music world it’s part of. Gilles and Bluey are both men who emerged into the Brit funk world. They were both part of this truly thrilling chapter in the story of homegrown music; which manifests itself here in a sumptuous mixture of twanging basslines, spacey synth melodies, clicking beats and wispy, ethereal voices. It features guest spots from some very talented friends @omar_lyefook, @ejthackray, @theocroker, @anushkauk, and @valerietienne. STR4TASFEAR is out Nov 11 on LP/CD/DIGITAL via @brownswood. • • • • #str4ta #str4tasfear #brownswoodrecordings #redeyeworldwide #redeyedistribution #newrelease #vinylrelease #brownswood
