NozL’s first EP is finally ready to drop. Regular listeners to the show will remember the British duo, whose music we’ve been showcasing for a while. Well after a lot of headache and work the guys have finally managed to put together their first EP, which will be released on their own NozL Recordings label with distribution in the UK via Cargo.

Entitled “The Man Who Brought Us Here Has Vanished”, the EP regroups some older tracks alongside new offerings such as the 2tall collabo ‘Akabizzl’. Here’s an extract from the press release:

“NozL’s inventive music will appeal to fans of many different tastes � hand picking their ingredients from various genres including jazz, ambience, pop, dubstep and folk.
Tracks such as “Expanding Rebecca” will demand the attention of electronic and ambient aficionados; Hip Hop fans will relish in the head nodding beats and luscious guitar of �Sharp Star Mumbles� and �Softly Falls The Night�; and the hypnotic melodies of “IDK” will entrance the chill-out heads.
NozL have pieced together this ambitious project almost entirely from scratching together small parts from many different vinyl records, side stepping the pit falls and creative dead ends of traditional computer programmed electronica. This future vision of electronic production gives NozL a unique and cutting edge sound of their own.”

Indeed the EP is an interesting bag of tricks, managing to broach a range of styles without falling into the pitfalls of either traditional electronic music or scratch music. Regular listeners of the show will remember ‘Sharp Star Mumbles’ as one of our favourite tracks of last year. Those of you who missed out should check the archives. The full tracklist is as follows:

One Part Short
Sharp Star Mumbles feat Mala
Interlude
Akabizzl feat 2tall
Sticks and Stones
Softly Falls The Night
Expanding Rebecca
IDK feat Mala
The Wash

The EP will be available on vinyl from NozL’s newly set up online shop in the coming weeks. In the meantime you can head over there and place your pre-order.
As well as the new EP, NozL are offering up a free download every monday until the release of the EP – the downloads are recent, exclusive dubstep tracks from one half of the duo, Lone Wolf. These are available in high quality mp3 format – just hit up the shop to get yours.

The EP should hit shops shortly after the official release – if you’re not in the UK then we recommend you place a pre-order on the site to ensure you get your copy as soon as they’re ready.

Look out for some more previews from the EP on the next podcast and in the meantime be sure to check www.nozl.co.uk to get your pre-order on and some of those free downloads.
