about

Creating art with a message is one thing, but combining it with a groove is quite another. Enter, ALTOSOUNDS & Boek, with latest release From The East To The West - a transcendental blend of uniquely melismatic lo-fi house. Fresh from collaboration with DnB maestro DRS and neo-soul chanteuse EVABEE, ALTOSOUNDS present an unmissable sonic pilgrimage from an artist mapping his very own physical - and spiritual - journey to be present.

Subscribing to the belief that inspiration strikes when you take a step back, ALTOSOUNDS & Boek are artists of multitudinous influences. In their own words, “life is a series of pressures to be constantly creating - it’s a fact that you can’t force creativity”: and this phenomenological mantra imbues the resulting spacious and richly tapestried music. Flecks of different cultures, altered childhoods and all-new found sounds form music that merits a meditative listening approach. A lifetime of self-reflection, combined with an umbilical connection to far-flung familial roots has kept ALTOSOUNDS & Boek’s eyes and ears open to the reaches of creativity - and the power of music on the mind. Here are artists with their eyes and ears wide open: listing musical influences that range from Bonobo and Little Dragon to Moloko, Gorillaz and even Pink Floyd.

Seeing the world from every available angle affords ALTOSOUNDS & Boek the chance to create music that whispers to the soul. Their fascination with sound’s physiological effects on the brain, combined with a drummer’s razorlike focus on the groove - amidst genre-skipping, self-sampling sound design - results in truly unrestricted, uninhibited music.
