about

NO ZU first came to the attention of the label with their debut release, the ‘Graffiti EP’ in 2009, displaying early indications of their wild, ‘heat beat’ sounds, where delay-drenched trumpet meets worldly percussion & squalling synths jam with unashamedly plastic funk-dub bass-lines. This fusion has led to NO ZU being perfectly described as “a stoned Albert Ayler jamming with Konk”.

The ‘New Age EP’ sees the band exploring sound-scapes of rhythmic repetition in five variations, from uncomfortable synth meditations and percussion workouts to exercises in relentless, dark funk. Informed by their first year of live collaborative performances in 2010, the new EP displays a band pushing their sound with absolute freedom, in all directions, while still maintaining a focus on the overall themes and intent of the project.

NO ZU began as a solo recording project for Nicolaas Oogjes in 2007 and has since also evolved into an ever changing collaborative live band of like minded Melbourne-ites. Andrew Noble (Rat VS Possum) and Adrian Vecino (TTT) provide the core rhythm section for the live shows, while other collaborators come and go. It has also become a collaborative recording project, with Noble and Vecino co-writing and performing on two tracks for the ‘New Age EP’ and Chris Morris co-writing and recording with Oogjes on the latest release, as well as on the debut ‘Graffiti EP’ release.

LIFE

This album reminds me of two albums in my collection: the eponymous debut of the Golden Palominos (1983), and Talking Heads Remain in Light (1980), yet there is something new, fresh, and different about it. More than anything, I love the energy of songs like Fa Foma Fi, which I have played on repeat more than once. Jon Jekel

No Zu are a Melbourne punk-funk outfit taking a pinch of Rip Rig & Panic, a dash of SPK (disco version) & a large slice of A Certain Ratio. This 30 min spreadable jam delivers a tasty, spicy, funky, glitchy, jazzy, dancey, spacey, love in. Here have a look see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HEi9S1Bg9A DJHDD
