Vāsuki Sound launches with its first release - the concept album 'Third Culture' by Michael Diamond.

By virtue of his residency at one of the UK’s longest-running nights 'Simple', supporting the likes of Ben UFO, Batu, Ross From Friends, and Daniel Avery, Michael Diamond draws heavily from the sounds of the contemporary UK underground. At the same time, being the latest addition to Brownswood Music’s Future Bubblers family, Michael’s love for jazz and harmony is loud and clear. 

The consummation of these two influences is his debut concept album ‘Third Culture’ - an LP that coalesces the very best of the jazz and electronic worlds into one seamless composition spanning ethereal jazz-breaks, introspective two-step, sax-driven power ambient and world-building, story-telling electronica. Themed around the topic of cultural identity, the release marries multiple art forms - music, literature and film - into a unified body of work. We hope you will find it thought-provoking.
