‘Biasonic Hotsauce – Birth Of The Nanocloud’ heralds the emphatic return of UK club maestro Zed Bias (also known for his more underground Maddslinky name). Out on November 1st on Tru Thoughts, the new album features collaborations with Skream (Magnetic Man), Mark Pritchard, Toddla T, Falty DL, Sam Frank, MdCL, Dynamite MC and more; preceded on August 30th by the double A-side single “Fairplay” / “Phoneline”, featuring Jenna G (Chase & Status) and Rosco Trim (Dawn Raid), respectively.

Once it's got you, the album does not let go. “Yagga” is an uptempo, bumpy and bouncy ride, with a killer bassline that complements the vocals of Serocee, whom many will know from his work with Basement Jaxx and MJ Cole. “Do It” brings a skanky dancehall vibe, with Reprazent collaborator Dynamite MC; followed by “Phoneline” - jacking soulful house with a UK funky edge, with vocals from Rosco Trim as you've never heard him.  Straight on into “Fairplay”. To his cover of the Soul II Soul classic, Zed Bias brings an upbeat, singalong quality, inspired by the vibe of school discos. It has already been played by BBC Radio 1 DJs including Annie Mac, Benji B and Gilles Peterson.

Elsewhere, the 21st century disco boogie style of “Koolade” comes from stems supplied by Toddla T. Warp artist Mark Pritchard contributes to the filmic “Trouble In The Streets. “Koolnaman” featuring Specialist Moss unleashes a wake-up dose of hard, pumping ragga-house, which segues into the fluid, organic 2-Step of “Lucid Dreams”, for which Falty DL conceived his parts in San Francisco. Wonky, vocoder funk is the order of the day on Sam Frank collaboration “Night Lovers”, while on their second collaboration in a year, Bias and Skream come together for the cheekily menacing “Badness”. Many will be familiar with “Salsa Funk”, which was premiered exclusively by Annie Mac on her blog earlier in the year.

Be on the lookout for the ‘Biasonic Hotsauce – Birth of the Nanocloud’ LP on Tru Thoughts to drop November 1st, 2011.
