winter williams presents: debut of Dusk Dept. is a seven-piece collective emerging from the deep corners of the modern funk underground…a shadowy convergence of musicians whose fingerprints can be found on the grooves of the heaviest hitters in the lineage of rhythm. Formed unofficially from the raging of late night sessions that transformed into full-fledged studio recordings. + From the mind and ears of producer/multi-instrumentalist, Joe Bagale, comes a sound that is fresh but tangibly rooted in nostalgia. The name is Otis McDonald. The mission? Good Music. In 2015, Bagale released 80 tracks for free, under the name Otis McDonald.
