Mindflux Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yes, its here - our third album, "The Powers that Beep", on Mesmobeat, is ready for release on 25th July. ZUBZUB is the creation of long-time Ozric Tentacles bass player, Zia Geelani. After more than ten years (1991-2002) of widespread touring, writing, recording and producing with the Ozrics, Zia now concentrates full-time on crafting distinctive dance tunes, where the emphasis is on infectious grooves and strong production. ZUBZUB are; ZIA GEELANI (ex-Ozrics): Writing, production, programming, synths MARK "MINDFLUX" FLETCHER: Co-writing and production, synths, percussion JON “CHAMPIGNON” EGAN (ex-Ozrics): flute, ney, duduk, zorna ALEX PYM: electric guitar This album finds the group moving up a gear, both in terms of covering a breadth of new musical ground and being a more focused dancefloor-filler than the previous 2 outings. The new album is also a more band-oriented production, with the current line-up having gelled over the last two-years, through extensive performance on the live circuit - performances that have drawn rave reviews and a solid and cosmopolitan fanbase. "The Powers That Beep" is finding a wide-audience, as it twists and turns its way through a myriad electronica and dance styles, but with the continuity of the distinctive Zubzub vibe and sound weaving it together in to a cohesive whole. Its available for pre-order now, just visit our profile at www.reverbnation.com/zubub and click on "Store" for links to retailers where you can order it :-) We hope you enjoy it! (there's also music to listen to at our Reverbnation profile and, if you sign up as a fan, there is FREE music available too!) We're at festivals all around the UK all Summer, playing it out live, so hope to see some of you in the fields :-) Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindflux Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hey-ho folks! Hope you're all good! Well, what an amazing few weeks it has been for Zubzub - an absolutely incredible set on the Glade stage at Glastonbury (and I was fortunate enough to see one of the all-time great sets from Merv as Eat Static later on the same stage!) and an amazing gig in Guernsey last weekend, things really are bouncing along nicely :-) And, with just 2 weeks to go until the release of the new album, we thought we give you a sneak preview! You can listen to the full title track over at www.reverbnation.com/zubzub complete with ripping guitar from Alex Pym, sublime flutes from Jon Champignon Egan, live percussion and synths from yours truly and the masterful Zia Zub at the helm! We hope you like it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antic Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 God, the samples sound A M A Z I N G!!! Very Eat Static-ey, which means: eclectic, intelligent, musical & extremely well produced. Goes straight to my to-buy list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindflux Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hey guys! Glad you are enjoying our work Sorry to say that the album has been delayed slightly, to 1st August (but, that's only a few days away, so I hope that's ok with you! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks for your kind words - glad you're enjoying it :posford: We thought we'd give you another, exclusive, sneak preview from the album - just head on over to our profile page at www.reverbnation.com/zubzub to have a listen to the dark, brooding "Geodesic" - a fine slab of psychedelic drum'n'bass that rolls in to dubstep and then tails off with some hefty dub. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohankiwi Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Loving the new stuff guys, can't wait for the album and looking forward to catching you again at waveform!! Strange to see you're not playing at the twisted/liquid shpongle afterparty in october though, you guys would be absolutely perfect for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 This sure looks interesting... viva Mesmobeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks for the interest and positivity guys :-) Yohankiwi - we were asked to do the Shpongle party, but I was in India for 3 weeks (just got back yesterday), so it wasn't possible, I'm afraid. We are playing at InSpiral Café, Camden this Saturday (15th November) however, if you're up for it? BTW - The Powers That Beep is getting a digital release on 1st December - more details coming soon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraneFreeze Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Just discovered this album (late to the party as usual). The group sounds tight, but it's somewhat hard to categorize their sound due to the variety of styles. The tempos seemed a little fast for dance music. One of the songs reminded me of the jazz group Medeski, Martin & Wood. Another brought to mind Electrypnose. The album gets better with repeated listenings. It just takes awhile to accept the music on its own terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
