A/T/O/S (A Taste of Struggle) is a project by Amos & Truenoys.
Their first ever creation followed their 1st ever meeting (summer 2012) & resonated with Mala, who immediately signed them to his label, DEEP MEDi MUSIK.
A/T/O/S have consistently built tunes since that meeting, swapping beats between and leading to their debut (self titled) album release in 2014 – via Mala’s platform.
It’s still early in their journey but the music has already commanded support from taste-makers such as Gilles Peterson (World Wide FM), Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio) , Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45 / Amazing Radio), Studio Brussels, Noisey to name but a few. As well as inviting remixes from Skream, Commodo and Internal Sun.The debut video “A Taste of Struggle” (by Simon Mannaerts) was premiered on Noisey (VICE): https://youtu.be/G6nP6AyGlH4

The 1st album brought shows supporting Tricky (AB Brussels), Melanie De Biasio (Prague), LIVE at London’s famous Jazz Café, Notting Hill Arts Club, Worldwide Festival, Electric Brixton, Pukkelpop and many more venues & countries across EU & UK.

The 2nd album “outboxed” is due for release 17th February 2017 and A/T/O/S already have lots of shows in the calendar.

The Belgian duo will work with Tim Lebacq adding visual accents to accompany the music (in the form of videos as well as on stage).

Style of music:
A/T/O/S leave the categorising to the listener but they describe the results as being “their influences blended & shaken… nurtured by bass”
They explore different frequencies and territories on “outboxed” bringing a different energy (yet not too far removed from the debut album), as “music is (and should be) a moving & evolving experience”.

Features:
(Guest-musicians)
Michiel De Malsche – Belgium based composer who also appears on the debut album
Vincent Brijs – Baritone jazz musician (Antwerp band BRZZVLL)

LIVE: (A/T/O/S show: Amos & Truenoys + 2 MPC’s, laptop & fx, keys + vocals by Amos)
