Buzz Ayaz; the new project led by Antonis Antoniou – founder of award-winning bands Monsieur Doumani and Trio Tekke – brings a fresh air of Eastern Mediterranean psychedelia, rock and blues. The cypriot group fuses tribal-like drumming, dynamic offbeat grooves, a grimy, trancey atmosphere and unexpected arrangements. The result is a fuzzy urban soundscape of snazzy synth textures and dubby electronics, 70s psych organ allusions, growling utterances, big beats and microtonal Anatolian melodic spices.
Their self-titled debut album is released in 2024 by the acclaimed German label Glitterbeat Records.
