Andrej Ugoljew's Dunkelgold – Atmosphere Ahead

Recorded in Trixx Studio Berlin - November 2016 - Kreuzberg

Light melodies are gleaming through a dark cloud of sounds and spheres, constantly driven by extensive grooves.
The songs carry along and invite you into an energized world between hip-hop, electro and a Nu jazz aesthetic, containing a lot of nodding and little pathos. The music floats. It’s modern, romantic, deep and dreamy but astonishingly free of cliches.

Andrej and his Dunkelgold Crew are brave enough to make music differently, to look at jazz from another angle.

The jazz trombonist from Berlin has many facades.
Aged 20 he started recording with Nils Frahm. Since then, he was part of many projects such as ‘Regenmacher’ by Megaloh or Bonaparte’s latest album ‘The Return of Stravinsky Wellington’, establishing himself as a session and studio musician. Playing with stars like Tony Allen, Salif Keita or Jimmy Summerville.
At the same time, Andrej Ugoljew is a member of the Skazka Orchestra and, among others, played as a guest musician for the WDR Big Band and the renowned Moscow Art Trio.

Andrej was one of the few chosen students of the European Jazz Master program. During these studies he experienced the diversity of the European Jazz metropoles Berlin, Paris & Copenhagen.

All compositions on his debut album ‘Atmosphere Ahead’ are his creations. "For me Jazz is about using the interplay of individualism and collective".
With Hanno Stick on the drums and Max Klaas on the percussions, Andrej created a thrilling rhythm section. On top, he himself is playing the trombone, the piano or the Fender Rhodes, sometimes balanced out by a spherical violin, the voice of Johanna Burnheart or Simon Quinn virtuously playing the doublebass or synthesizer.

"I love making music that, at the same time, makes people dance and addresses their spirits", Andrej Ugoljew sums up his mission. "It is magnificent if that applies to friends as well as to music experts."
