New Music Releases: Natural Lateral; William Kurk; Dmitriy Peitsch & Konstantin Suhan

Natural Lateral - Bossa Blue (from the upcoming 'Cogito Ergo Jam')

Natural Lateral was born organically out of endless and spontaneous jam sessions at the Lazy Robot Studio in North London. Since 2017, Aziz Mustafa, Ozan Nidayi, Oli Arlotto, Malte From and Tim Balasubramaniam, have all been enjoying playing and recording ideas which gave the birth to their first LP on the Social Joy imprint. ‘Cogito Ergo Jam’ weaves together strands of different musical forms and roots. Although much of the band's love for jazz massively influences their music, their open-minded spirit keeps them engaged in other creative fields and venturing into new territory.
Creating organic vibes and textures, the music draws from jazz, through to electronic, with deep grooves and mesmerising psych-synth melodies, weaving magic over the top. The band fuses rhythmic elements from funk & Latin jazz to syncopated odd meter timings drawing inspiration from Azymuth to Soft Machine, Coltrane to Liston-Smith, to name few of their many influences. ‘Bossa Blue’ is the first track taken from the LP.

William Kurk - Willianaire

A great little record from William Kurk – an artist who's been giving us excellent music for years, and who deserves to be way more than just a secret force in the contemporary soul underground! William's got a great way with a tune – a vibe that's upbeat and positive, and a sound that's catchy, but never commercial – and maybe a lot more rich in tone than you might guess from the look of the cover – as he draws leanly from classic roots, but finds a way to make music that's very much his own! The whole thing's great – the kind of overlooked soul music gem that we don't hear enough of these days – and which continues to bring us real joy in what we do around here at Dusty Groove. Titles include "Perfect Mutations", "Good", "Stride", "Highway To Humanity", "Let Go", "In Your Loving Arms", "Resurrection Funk", and "Willionaire".  ~ Dusty Groove

Dmitriy Peitsch & Konstantin Suhan – Daybreak In The Roughland

The recording was made live, without editing and overlays, during an improvisation session in the Moscow club named after Jerry Rubin. The session counsided with the celebration of Konstantin and Mila Sukhan’s wedding on August 16, 2018. The album’s title can be interpreted as “Dawn in the desert”, “Dawn over rough earth” or even “A beam of light in the realm of darkness”. It is is the debut for the spontaneously formed duet of guitarist Dmitry Peich and trumpeter Konstantin Sukhan, two representatives of the Moscow improvisational and experimental scene.
