Born from an improvised jam session recorded in a shed.

Gilles Peterson and Jean-Paul Maunick are releasing a new collaborative album as STR4TA, called Aspects, via Peterson’s own Brownswood Recordings imprint this March.

Aiming to emulate the DIY, analogue sounds of British funk, the duo adopted a “more naive, less considered” approach to production.

“The idea of the project was to capture that raw, moment-to-moment sound,” Maunick explains.

The album follows the duo’s release of their ‘Aspects’ 12”, which was also released on Brownswood.
