High energy, genre-blending nu jazz from two innovators of the scene.
Characterised by erratic drum breaks, multi-effect soundscapes and searing trombone lines, Ebi Soda keep a post-punk DIY ethic close to their hearts, with songs often birthed from sweaty smokey bedrooms rather than that of the big band hall. Born from ten-hour jam sessions in peeling Brighton bedsits, the technical parameters of a bootstrap recording process and the osmotic, multi-genre influence of internet music archives, quintet Ebi Soda have been steady-cultivating a unique sound amidst the exploding UK jazz scene.
XOA create hard hitting Jazz with big analogue electronic sounds. The focus is on the playing, but with a lot of care and focus on the individual sounds, drawing on bandleader Nick Tyson’s experience as an electronic music producer.
