LA에 기반을 둔 남녀 듀오인 Nguzunguzu는 최근 영역을 확장하고 있는 댄스 뮤직의 완벽한 일례라고 할수 있다. 프로듀서이자 시카고 주크 에서 UK 베이스, 하이 테크 하우스에서 레게톤과 컴비아, 힙합과 알앤비까지 이르는 모든 장르와 협연을 이루는 DJ 태그팀의 화려한이력. Innovative Leisure, Silverback Recordings, 그리고 Hippos In Tanks에서 작업한 유명한 EP를 가지고, Nguzunguzu는 엄청난 입소문을 만들어 냈고, 세계적인 테스트 메이커, 뮤직 러버, 레이버 그리고 힙스터들의 더 많은 기대와 지지를 얻게 되었다.
지난해의 NA의 솔로 데뷰 Xtreme Tremble과 Kelela의 CUT 4 ME에서의 두드러지는 3개의 작품 그리고 아주 뛰어난 Skycell EP까지.
그들의 믹스들은 일년내내 어디서나 들을수 있었고, 그들의 Boileroom그리고 Sonar 셋은 사람들의 입에 가장 많이 오르내리게 되었 다. 우리는 Nguzunguzu의 서울에서 초연을 자랑스럽게 생각하는 바이다.
The dynamic L.A. duo of Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda return with their second EP for Fade to Mind. Fresh off the release of NA’s solo debut Xtreme Tremble and three standout productions on Kelela’s CUT 4 ME mixtape, NGUZUNGUZU deliver a collection of seven bio-mechanically engineered heavy-hitting club experiments.
Enter the paranoid universe of Skycell; a game you don’t know your playing, a hostile environment where your mind takes a vacation, but your body is in a cage. The songs of Skycell are built from air bursts, glimmering chimes, sunken bass, metallic scrapes, and industrial crashes. As the tension looms you begin to realize you are in an elevated jail cell with no bars, where your only escape is to free fall to your demise.
Cinematic intro “Foam Feathers” is a deceivingly innocent elevator ride to the top of the skycell, followed by “Harp Bell”‘s insistent claps, galloping kicks, and hypnotic chimes. “Break In” also uses the combination of deep 808 kicks and an ominous bell melody set off by high energy hi hats. “Tumultuous” and “Mecha” fill out the B-side of the EP with grimey mechanical percussion and densely layered samples over club kicks.
“frantic, tribal sounds that drew on the convergence of Brazilian baile rhythms, Chicago house and London dance music to create primal, infectious grooves…straddles the line between smooth and hard, making it a perfect mixtape for driving around L.A. with the sunroof open or messing around in bed with your clothes off.”-LA Times
“obsessed with the hunt.”-XLR8R
“screwed down, minimalist beat vacation that alternates between desert ocarina jams and spaced-out synths.”-The FADER
Most clubs in Korea open at 10 pm and close around 5~6 am
