Hey everyone - just been made aware of this community - nice place :)

And its with great pleasure that I announce Zubzub's third album, "The Powers that Beep", on Mesmobeat, is ready for release on 25th July. With a heady mix of dub, breaks, d'n'b, trance and techno with a hint of psychedelia, it should appeal to many!

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/zubzub 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!

Yes.....and 05, 06 and 08!! :lol:

Glad you liking it and, yes, very strong Ozrics connection (Zia played bass with them for 10 years, Jon played flute and front-man for 18 years and I did a stint with them on percussion!).

Hope you enjoy the album :D

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 territory and then tails off with some hefty dub. Enjoy!
