Zomby, real name Justin Moulds,[1] is an electronic artist who began releasing music in 2007. He has released music on several labels, including Hyperdub, Werk Discs and 4AD labels. Zomby's influences include that of jungle music and Wiley's eskibeat sound.[2][3]
Career
Zomby's first major release was the Zomby EP in 2007 on Hyperdub. In 2008, he released a full length album, Where Were U in '92?, inspired by the rave scene of the early 1990s.[4] This was followed by a subsequent collection of tracks, One Foot Ahead of the Other, in 2009.
In 2011, he released Dedication on the 4AD label. In a four-star review in The Guardian, it was described as "an album of pensive, thought-provoking sadness," drawing comparisons to pianist Keith Jarrett and 1990s techno act Spooky.[5] Later that year, he released the Nothing EP.
