‘Algorithm’ is the debut single from jazz trio Devils of Moko, a track where underwater oscillating synths bubble up on top of a laboured piano. The rhythm and pace is set, repeated and explored, just to be dissolved as the musicians go off in different directions. The title ‘Algorithm’ also refers to the band’s ability to slip seamlessly in and out of electronic sound, bleeps and repetitive motifs intermingling with more classic jazz harmonies and riffs.

Devils of Moko consists of Mulele Matondo (Kongo Dia Ntotila) on bass, Sam Gardner(Septabeat, Samadhi Quintet) on drums, and Dominic J Marshall (The Cinematic Orchestra) on piano and synth. Their music is a collective melting pot that captures all of their individual styles, composed of three distinctively different and interesting voices. Where each player’s individual influence shines through, the Devils’ playground is shaped by the departure from Western musical structure of Mulele’s grooving Congolese rhythms and sonic stories; Sam’s explorations of electronic music, drum & bass and production that carve an edge into the trio’s voice; and the soulful jazz melodies of Dominic’s piano playing that spark warmth and prompt an uplifting, soul-busting sound.
