STR4TA, c’est le duo formé par le DJ et producteur Gilles Peterson et le guitariste, compositeur et producteur britannique Jean-Paul “Bluey” Maunick, du groupe d’acid jazz Incognito. Ensemble, les deux amis et collaborateurs de longue date ont lancé ce projet jazz funk, qui leur permet d’explorer de nouvelles possibilités musicales en apportant un regard neuf sur un son développé par des groupes comme Atmosfear, Hi-Tension, Light of the World et Freeez (Maunick étant également membre de ces deux derniers groupes). Après un 45 tour anonyme, STR4TA sortait en 2021 le superbe album Aspects accueilli chaleureusement par le public et la critique. Le groupe a notamment été très soutenu par BBC 6Music, The Guardian, Wax Poetics, The Vinyl Factory, CLASH, Télérama, Radio Nova, Rolling Stone.Le duo annonce son retour avec STR4TASFEAR, une collection de chansons, de mélodies, de grooves et de sons qui s’intègrent parfaitement dans leur univers musical jazz-funk.

By now, it should be more than well-known that Joe-Armon Jones and Maxwell Owin are two of UK's jazz's most prominent and deserving fixtures, with the former having made a name for himself as part of outfits like Ezra Collective, and the latter for his unique blend of jazz and future garage. Together, they have an unmatched synergy; not staying too rooted in the potential quagmire of jazz alone, Archetype is a critical exploration of genre, as both Armon-Jones and Owin segue through explorations of their favourite non-jazz genres (dub, funk, garage, hip-hop) as "archetypes", paying homage to their infleunce on the music they make now. Guest features from Mala, Fatima, Lex Amor and O The Ghost cement this notion of tribute and versatility, making for a serene and virtuosic albu that best falls under the category of "jazzifyer".
