ZG is the moniker of London based Zansika Lachhani and Grant (aka Anthony Collins, and the Tony in Frank & Tony). The concept  was borne out of a connection online, as Grant and Zan connected on Soundcloud, both independently vibing off each other's music and approach to their art. 
 
In 2018 they began to work together, developing a number of tracks but eventually parking the project as other life commitments got in the way. Fast forward to 2021, while clearing out old harddrives, Grant rediscovered the recordings and was blown away by the music already put down. Together they began to rework and develop the project further, resulting in a blindingly beautiful  seven track LP. 
 
Opener Jungle Times sets the scene, an atmospheric dreamy opening giving way to an idiosyncratic breakbeat and whispered vocals from Zan, setting the tone perfectly, floating the sound equally between London and New York styles. Following it up is the enigmatic Roll of Thunder, drawing its power broken beat patterns, deep and soulful strings and washes reminiscent of 4Hero in their prime. 
When Young also brings a jazz aesthetic to the fore, with upfront drums and Rhodes chords washing over in melodic bliss. Ombre starts with a thick bassline and urgent synth stabs before developing into a tripped-out groove, layered with thick synth lines and subtle harmonic touches. Similarly, Aura uses some of the same sound palette as well with touches of guitars and more sparking pads creating an uplifting yet melancholic journey. The first real vocal arrives with the penultimate track Dog Days, dreamily layered over  beautifully evolving synth washes and skittering beats. By the time Drift Out arrives to usher in the last act of this exceptional LP, we are on cloud nine.

ZG is the moniker of London based Zansika Lachhani and Grant (aka Anthony Collins, and the Tony in Frank & Tony). Their upcoming de- but-album ZG is set for a release in November and was borne out of a connection online, as Grant and Zan connected on Soundcloud, both independently vibing off each other's music and approach to their art.

Jungle Times sets the scene for the album with an atmospheric, ambient opening giving way to a wonky breakbeat and whispered vocals from Zan. It sets the tone perfectly, pitching the sound equally between London and New York.

English:

*"This track has been unearthed and re-mastered from my drawer. It’s a cinematic ambient journey with micro-house and dub influences, featuring slowly evolving drones, shimmering pads, and textured layers. A deep, minimal 4/4 beat with soft kicks, warm sub-bass, and subtle hi-hats creates a hypnotic rhythm, while gentle percussion and smooth dub delays add emotional depth.

Futuristic yet introspective, the music feels like echoes in timeless space, inviting you to relax, reflect, and get lost in the sound. Every layer is meant to evoke feeling, curiosity, and a sense of calm exploration."*

Italiano:

*"Questo brano è stato riesumato e re-masterizzato dal mio cassetto. È un viaggio sonoro cinematografico con influenze di micro-house e dub, con droni che evolvono lentamente, pad scintillanti e strati di texture. Un beat minimal 4/4 profondo, con kick morbidi, sub-bass caldi e hi-hat delicati, crea un ritmo ipnotico, mentre percussioni leggere e ritardi dub aggiungono profondità emotiva.

Futuristico ma introspettivo, il brano sembra echi in uno spazio senza tempo, invitandoti a rilassarti, riflettere e perderti nel suono. Ogni strato è pensato per evocare emozioni, curiosità e un senso di calma esplorazione."*
