This album is the first joint release from the two acolytes in more than ten years. In it, we experience a particular state of mind, a creative process that is unique to the record of their respective beginnings and which has largely contributed to building their careers. For Peterson, it is as a label owner, DJ, collector and radio show host; for Maunick, it&#8217;s as a musician, band leader and hit songwriter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2452356611\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/str4ta.bandcamp.com\/album\/aspects-2\">Aspects by STR4TA<\/a><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet the London jazz-funk scene of the eighties was not immediately successful, competing with the punk scene of the time with powerful live shows, even if it lost some of its authenticity: &#8220;I was there, in the background, telling everyone &#8216;leave it like that, cut it here, only use this first take&#8217;, to keep that spirit.&#8221; What is transmitted is a feeling of composition in its raw state, which Peterson has always tried to keep alive. A sound marked out and recognizable among a thousand others, as Maunick explains: &#8220;Like all those who play music, we had tried to imitate our heroes. But we didn&#8217;t have the tools, we hadn&#8217;t learned music: we played everything by ear, we were inspired by bits and pieces taken here and there from records we cherished.&#8221; This album is guided by the same ambition: to create a direct, immediate, light and straightforward sound, representative of this part of\u00a0 British musical history that deserves more attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to STR4TA in our Songs of the Week playlist on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2Pz0eyg\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/30zVbUA\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album <em>Aspects<\/em> will be released on March 26 via <a href=\"https:\/\/str4ta.lnk.to\/aspects_album\">Brownswood \/ Bigwax<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/87ee271c-gilles-bluey-039-1-min-1010x721.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/87ee271c-gilles-bluey-039-1-min-1010x721.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/87ee271c-gilles-bluey-039-1-min-759x542.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/87ee271c-gilles-bluey-039-1-min-661x472.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/87ee271c-gilles-bluey-039-1-min-465x332.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/87ee271c-gilles-bluey-039-1-min-375x268.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/87ee271c-gilles-bluey-039-1-min.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1010\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-1010x1010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10-73x73.jpg 73w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/56b93220-a0273675758_10.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a first extract entitled &#8220;Rhythm In Your Mind&#8221; the two acolytes revitalize the iconic British funk scene of the early eighties.
