Zoot Music

Zoot Music has been busy in 2023 with several production and mix down projects which have recently been released.

Mid 2023 Metalheadz Music (UK) released the collaborative drum and bass project "Sci-Clone - Radio Therapy" produced by both Nathan and UK DJ/producer Jason Cambridge aka A-Sides. The pair's first release was back in 1997 on Metalheadz, and with label boss Goldie's constant urging, the pair finally released the full length album "Radio-Therapy combing elements of electronic dance music with live instrumentation. The album was largely recorded and mixed by Nathan and Jason at Zoot Music studios in Auckland, and features many local and international musicians.
