Outervisions 02 by XOA

Outervisions 02 review

Having previously released music via Soundway Records and Five Easy Pieces, South London based producer XOA (AKA Nick Tyson) caught the ears of Gilles Peterson, DJ Mag, Boiler Room, Red Bull, XLR8R (and more) with his use of rich analogue sonics, steeped in the electronic sounds of London’s musical underbelly, blending vibrant textures and cosmic melodies, melding afrobeat and jazz sensibilities with house and techno.

Re-emerging last year with a new direction and meaning: hard hitting Jazz with big analogue electronic sounds, along with a four-person outfit (which features Tyson (Bass & Electronics) joined by Johnny Tomlinson (Synths / Fender Rhodes), Josh Arcoleo (Tenor Saxophone) and Joost Hendrickx (Drums). Their previous release ‘Program Change', took the listener on a warp-speed kaleidoscopic journey through space and time, and gained support from Jamz Supernova, Gilles Peterson, Clash, Bolting Bits & more.

Forthcoming release ‘After Burner’ gives a fuel injection to the outfit, elevating XOA’s music to new and dizzying heights. From the rich tones of lift-off of the intro ‘Drawing Light’, through the intricately composed textures of ‘Invisible Shapes’ to the driving and pulsating title track ‘After Burner’; culminating in the vast and contemplative finale of ‘Final Ascent’

Feeding on their collaborative energy of four musicians going hell for leather, XOA have created an urgent and enthralling sound - one which perfectly captures the lightning-rod tenacity of their live performances. The release will be the second on Tyson’s own imprint Outervisions - a label which embraces creatively driven artists blending the sounds of Jazz and electronic music from London and beyond.
