The New Deal first began in Toronto in 1999, quickly gaining support from Toronto’s underground club scene as pioneers in electronica, recreating the DJ experience with live, improvised music. Soon the band brought their interpretation of Electro House, Trance, Breakbeat and Drum & Bass to the US where they were embraced by the crowds at NYC’s Wetlands Preserve and cultivated a loyal following in the American jam scene.
In contrast to their dynamic improvised live show and recent albums, their latest release, Isolation Suite, is an EP of fully composed new music that was written, recorded, and mixed in isolation during Covid-19 quarantine. Culling influences as diverse as Les McCann, The Who, & Herbie Hancock, the Isolation Suite’s four movements culminate with a guest appearance from Umphrey’s McGee guitarist Brendan Bayliss.
