Ausecuma Beats - Deep Heat / Tropical Storm '2022

Tracks list

       Nine-piece West Africa-via-Melbourne ensemble Ausecuma Beats and
improvised collective Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, also known as Z*F*E*X,
reveal a new collaborative EP out August 19 via Music in Exile. Call it a match
made somewhere in musical heaven, the minds behind Ausecuma Beats, comprised of
members from Senegal, Mali, Cuba and Guinea, found they melded easily with
Z*F*E*X following weeks of recording and sharing material remotely together.
Z*F*E*X themselves, an ensemble comprised of drummer Zeke ‘Ziggy’
Zeitgeist, keyboardist and producer Lewis Moody, bassist Matthew Hayes, and a
rotating cast of guests, are prolific musicians themselves with weighty
credentials spread across their base locations of Australia, the United Kingdom,
and Europe. Thus, from a backyard shed in Dandenong North, Australia, some of
West Africa’s finest would record simple percussive tracks, which then
surfed the airwaves via studios in Melbourne, Berlin and London, to finally land
back on listeners doorsteps as a forthcoming collaborative EP, Deep
Heat/Tropical Storm. Starring two guest vocalists who are some of the most
invigorating in their respective scenes - Latin America via Berlin star Gotopo,
and Melbourne’s own Rara Zulu - the EP’s beginnings in percussive
exploration are transformed into a must-have record of all bangers. Expect the
duelling minds of two highly respected acts to reveal a combined EP of complex
compositions that remain wholly accessible thanks to addictive harmonies and
melodies. Emotionally thrilling, and easy to love, listen and dance to. 'Deep
Heat/Tropical Storm' 12" EP is out everywhere Friday, August 19 via Music in
Exile / Above Board (UK/EU).
