DIASPORA EP

Headed up by multi-instrumentalist (and Gentleman's Dub Club member) Nick
Tyson, XOA fuses golden era 1970s Afrobeat with deep grooves and contemporary
electronic productions sizzling with analogue synths, guitars and percussive
rhythms. Collaboration has always been at the heart of the project, with an
emphasis on live instrumentation, crucial to transmitting a rich energy on the
tracks.
Hailing from London, Tyson has been building a keen following with his live gigs
and DJ sets, including a sell-out live show at the Jazz Cafe featuring Eva Lazarus
and Dele Sosimi on vocals. The new release on Soundway reflects his steady
progression towards sophisticated production and collaborative processes, as
well as his ability to effortlessly cross multiple genres.
"Spicy percussion wraps itself around those layers of undulating
electronics, a fascinating fusion of culture and sound."
