ELECTRIC FIELDS are two feminine brothers -ZAACHARIAHA FIELDING and MICHAEL ROSS - combining modern electric-soul music with ancient indigenous culture.
 
What happens when you take the edges of gender and culture, then meet at the cross section?
Elegantly coupling Ananu language and english in their soon-to-be-released debut EP SHADE AWAY, these girly boys are in the business of bypassing the barriers.  Something Australia and globe will be gagging for after the first listen. 

Writing as a duo, Electric Fileds brings together Zaachariaha Fielding’s lead vocal that takes soul to the stratosphere and Michael Ross’ true inventiveness as producer.  Think Daft Punk meets Deep Forest with the fearlessness of Nina Simone.

Individually, they’ve had highlights in previous projects with Michael Ross’ original song Equal Love being used online by Gay Marriage USA. 
Whilst in former duo ZK, Zaachariah Fielding impressed the Australian television audience so much they made it to the grand final of The Voice
and had an ARIA charting single with their take on John Lennon’s Imagine.

With a music video and two short documentaries already in the pipeline, 
ELECTRIC FIELDS know what freedom is… no fear.

Sovereign Trax is an online platform promoting Aboriginal music through energising decolonisation conversations and community in music.  DJ SOVTRAX is no longer posting but enjoy the mixes :)
