Zomboy

Zomby is an electronic musician who began releasing music in 2007. He has released music on several labels, including Hyperdub, Werk Discs and 4AD. Zomby's influences include jungle music and Wiley's eskibeat sound.

Career

Zomby's first major release was the Zomby EP in 2008 on Hyperdub.

He released his first full length album, Where Were U in '92?, also in 2008. The album's title refers to the opening line from the M.I.A song "XR2" and is a homage to the rave scene of the early 1990s, reflected by Zomby's mixture of chiptune-inflected UK Garage style with the more upbeat, ravey stylings of breakbeat house. Zomby used equipment from the period, such as the Akai S2000 sampler and Atari ST computer.

In 2009 he released a subsequent collection of tracks, One Foot Ahead of the Other.
