Featuring tricky, aggressive broken-rhythm patterns that deliberately defy expectations, and NZO’s signature avant-garde electronic funk—with sweet R&B samples collaged throughout—highly recommended! This cassette features live recordings by NZO, who continues to produce bizarre masterpieces as the new face of DEMDIKE STARE’s label, DDS. A fusion of ’90s R&B, ’00s brukfunk, and footwork. Limited edition.
NZO, a genius who made a spectacular debut on the “White Label” series—a must-have limited-edition release from the cutting-edge electronic music hotspot *DDS*, which features artists such as SHINICHI ATOBE and MICHAEL J. BLOOD—is now attracting global attention as a regular on the label. This live recording was captured at “Rotherham Minster,” an Anglican church with over 500 years of history, during “No Bounds,” the annual electronic music event organized by SoYo. It features experimental, up-tempo rhythm arrangements that revolutionize footwork. A groove that shakes listeners to their core with a physicality born of an extraordinary understanding of funk. And he’s evolving dance music with his signature, sweet R&B sample collages. A new era of electronic funk that combines the raw, live grooves and collage ideas of a live performance with meticulously calculated programming. Simply breathtaking.
