Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda are the LA electronic duo who make up Nguzunguzu. Pronounced en-goo-zoo-en-goo-zoo, their name rolls off the tongue as satisfyingly as their 3am sound vibrates through the body.

Hot off the heels of the release of their ‘Warm Pulse‘ EP on Hippos In Tanks, the duo will be bringing the heady blend of nocturnal club beats and eerily bewitching atmospherics to a select number of EU dates, including a single London date at Fabric.

19/08 Netherlands, Biddinghuizen Lowlands Festival
23/08 Switzerland, Zurich Hive

Following last year’s ‘Timesup’ EP on Kingdom’s Fade To Mind label, the unlikely holy trinity of Philip Glass, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and The X-Files watch over Nguzunguzu’s ‘Warm Pulse‘ EP, resulting in a deadly combination of grace, warmth and paranoia. A pyromaniacal tension stalks its five tracks, threading together the uneasy themes swimming beneath its many shiny, fractured surfaces: violent attacks, overdoses, smoke-filled rooms and out-of-body experiences.

‘Warm Pulse‘ EP Tracklist:

1. Warm Pulse
2. Delirium
3. Smoke Alarm
4. Drop Cage
5. No Longer
