Marutyri is an in Rotterdam based, instrumental fusion band. The deep and solid grooves, intense harmonies, story telling solo’s and the well arranged parts, make Marutyri unique in the today’s’ music world and the tougher-than-ever music business.
The band got off to a flying start since their founding in September 2014. In 2015 Marutyri played on the worldwide renown North Sea Jazz Festival, and, they won the prestigious NPO Radio 6 Soul & Jazz Award for Best Talent. In the same year, the band was invited to and played several times on the popular Dutch TV-show “De Wereld Draait Door”. The EP “The Tribe” was released in June 2015 and received a number of good critics.

How did this band become successful on such short notice? Well, not only by delivering hard work and interesting compositions, but also by making stunning live videos and working in a deadline based strategy: it all turned out to be highly effective. Most of the compositions, the arrangements and the project planning come from the band leader and bass player Rik van der Ouw. The band members share their artistic ideas, work hard and strongly focus when they send the music into the world.

The founders of the band became friends back in 2011 when they started studying at Codarts, the conservatory of Rotterdam. After going through various and different bands and projects (such as soul/funk formation Grant with the talented vocalist Jared Grant) they decided, instead of just listening to the fusion music, to make it their own and produce it themselves.

Reviews: "The build-up is almost ‘symphonic’ indeed, with a beginning and an end, with clear parts in the middle and which are not repeated in the composition. Impressive". - Jan Piet Hartman, Jazznu.co
"Alternately, musically compelling and equipped with its own identity, Marutyri on ‘ Inner Movements ‘ sounds like a well oiled collective for which a bright future in play". - Erno Elsinga, Jazzenzo
"In short ‘ Inner Movements ‘ is an excellent jazz rock Made in Holland". - Cok Jouvenaar, Popunie.nl
"Marutyri, this young band seems to be building its brand awareness thorough – also if you have nothing with the music that these musicians play – you can almost not ignore that". - Jan Piet Hartman, jazznu.com

Radare’s songs are slow moving, played deliberately with intensity and patience. The setting is gloomy, even eerie at times. While former projects were deeply rooted in noise music, the Wiesbaden-based four-piece got together to dedicate themselves to quieter and simpler compositions—while relying more on Rhodes piano, brushed drums, brass sections, and mellow tremolo guitar sounds.

Radare’s debut album, “Infinite Regress”, released in 2010, was a first attempt at creating a distinct sound, incorporating the trombone as an unconventional instrument. With their sophomore album, 2011’s “Hyrule”, the band established a compositional style that laid the groundwork for their third record, to be released in 2015. In terms of musical structures, the arrangements on this collection of songs steadily follow an underlying narrative to support the approach of musical storytelling.
Fascinated by the romantic but spooky themes of Angelo Badalamenti, the introspection of Bohren & Club Of Gore, and the grittier works of Talk Talk, Radare create the kind of mood where calmness turns into unease, and the line between comfort and uncertainty begins to blur.

Zwischen verträumtem Folk und elektronischer Melancholie, hingehaucht und hingetupft mit zarten Gitarren und Echo-gleichen Chören im Hintergrund: so schimmert HAUX, die rauchige Silhouette des US-amerikanischen Musikers Woodson Black.
Woodsons Stimme formte sich in den stillen Wäldern und ländlichen Landschaften der Berkshires, wo der Musiker aufwuchs. Woodson Black hat ein Faible für Fotografien von einsamer Naturschönheit, die seinen ästhetischen Weg formten und HAUX inspirierten. Gefangen von der Musik, doch noch nicht bereit für die Bühne, besuchte Woodson die Northeastern University mit dem Hauptfach Musikmanagement.
Ein Praktikum bei einer Plattenfirma brachte ihn nach London und schnell verfiel er der Stadt, machte sich vertraut mit der Szene und schrieb für mehrere Musikmagazine. Viele Konzertabende, versunken in die Auftritte von Lucy Rose, Daughter und Keaton Henson, bildeten das Fundament seiner Verschmelzung von Intimität und Integrität.

Während Woodson für andere Künstler arbeitete, kreierte er im Hintergrund seinen eigenen Sound und holte sich von Zeit zu Zeit Feedback von seinen Freunden aus dem Business ein. Als sich die Gespräche nicht mehr um seine berufliche Zukunft in der Musikindustrie drehten, sondern um die Weiterentwicklung von HAUX, ergriff Woodson die Chance.
Die Zeit war reif und jeder Teil von Woodson floss ins Schreiben, Produzieren, Mischen, Fotografieren und Filmen, um jedes Element von HAUX einzufangen. Die daraus entstandene Debütsingle -- All We’ve Known – entstand so zwischen seinem Familienhaus in den Berkshires und seiner kleinen Wohnung in Hackney.
