ZONED by MACHINE MAFIA

‘…the Zoned journey takes us from punchdrunk Thatcher-sampling opener ‘Killzones’ and the spiky-bassed ‘F.O.S.’, which both feel a bit like something Crass might have included on a Bullshit Detector compilation, to cut-up styled mid-album baffler ‘Lecture 0.3B’, to ‘Outside My House’, almost nine minutes of ranting about termites and camera equipment in the character of a paranoid shut-in…’ - Noel Gardener, The Quietus

‘… Sleaford Mods for real punks…’ - Chris Nosnibor, Aural Aggravation

Machine Mafia was formed in early 2024 by Jase Kester (Omnibadger/Omnibael/Don't Try/Plan Pony) and Adam Stone (Pound Land). We'd met through Pound Land the year before - Jase is the sixth member, guesting on various live performances (as well as the 'Mugged' album). We decided to form a voice/electronics duo in the grand tradition of Suicide, Silver Apples, Soft Cell, Pet Shop Boys etc. Our first gig was in a small craft ale bar in the Staffordshire town of Leek, receiving a ban for high decibel levels and foul language. That was in June of 2024. The first ep came out in July - 'Killzones', followed by the 'Money Gone' ep in September, plus the track 'England', which appeared on Industrial Coast's 'Rock Against Racism' compilation in the same month. 'Zoned' collects both eps (which more or less went under the radar at the time because they were self-released), plus 'England', and mixes them up with four previously unreleased tracks to make a new album.

Also included is the remix of 'Where's the Money Gone' with video by Dan Holloway, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jP7Bjdkg70
