About
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
The ZUBZUB sound incorporates an epic musical feel, fused with cleverly-programmed, deliciously-groovy dance
rhythms and seamlessly blending an eclectic variety of styles and genres; Psytrance, drum and bass, strong techno,
break-beats and dub are all covered and lavished with a psychedelic lushness. Also in the mix is a distinct taste
for ethnic instruments and influence. Two albums, “Zubzub” and “Malicious Code”, were quickly snapped
up from small internet releases and the band are now signed to Techno-legends Eat Static's label, Mesmobeat,
They have just released their third album, "The Powers that Beep" to wide critical acclaim.
In keeping with the band members' musical heritage, for the past few years ZUBZUB have been earning an awesome
reputation on the live circuit, taking their 4-piece band on the road and hooking audiences with stomping
tunes, brought even more alive with an organic, fluid fusion of live musicianship and programming.
Heavily featured and very popular with the UK festival scene, ZUBZUB have played at the likes of
Glastonbury Festival, the Glade Festival, Sunrise and Waveform Project Festivals
and Life Festival in Ireland.
ZUBZUB have also played at the famous Brixton Academy alongside some of the most well-known names in electronica and also have regular appearances with the best names in UK parties, including Tribe of Frog, Liquid Connective, The Little Green Planet and The Synergy Project.
“Sunday afternoon is lazy across the site - backstage, I run into Jumping Jon from the Ozric Tentacles, just getting ready to go on stage with ex-Ozrics bass player Zia as ZubZub. Having recently released a new album 'Malicious Code', ZubZub deliver a full on mix of organic breaks, psych beats and psychedelic swirls, with Jon's flute 'n' pipes providing an ethereal and beautiful counterpoint to the mash-up going on behind him. They provide the best music on Sunday, no doubt.” - Jon Wright Glade festival review at www.virtualfestivals.co.uk
