FACT mix: Nguzunguzu

FACT mix 334 is a short, sharp session from West Coast duo Nguzunguzu.

Based in Los Angeles, the duo of Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda first came to FACT’s attention with 2010’s ‘Moments in Love’ mixtape, a tribute to, as you might expect, the endlessly-sampled Art of Noise classic of the same name. There’s a lot of musicians out there that try to combine the all-or-nothing emotion of chart r’n’b with more underground-leaning sounds and structures, but as Nguzunguzu progressed, last year releasing the Timesup EP on Night Slugs’ US sister label Fade to Mind, as well as mixing M.I.A.’s Vicki Leekx mixtape (Asma is M.I.A.’s tour DJ), it became clear that as both DJs and producers, few straddled that line as effectively. The latest move from the duo is signing to Hippos in Tanks (home of Autre ne Veut, James Ferraro, et al), who’ll be releasing their Warm Pulse EP this month.

Nguzunguzu’s FACT mix is short, sharp, and sticks to what the duo know best – their associates from the Night Slugs and Fade to Mind labels (Girl Unit, Helix, Massacooramaan), the ballroom house of MikeQ and his Qween Beat label, and naturally, ‘Moments in Love’ – with itchy teases and some long, long mixes.
