It is no secret that we are quite possibly the biggest fans of the Etienne Jaumet-shaped half of French electricity-and-drum beat combo Zombie Zombie, having called in his truly cosmic remix services (complete with bonus saxophone!) on fellow Etienne-fancier Luke Abbott’s spinetingling Brazil single. And we just can’t resist inviting the lovable synthtopian along in the flesh for special guest performance duties whenever we are able to squeeze him into one of our infamous Border Community nights, like the forthcoming get-together for Paris’ ME.006 Rendez-Vous festival on 28th June, when Etienne provides local support to a core Border Community cast of James Holden, Nathan Fake, Fairmont, Kate Wax and Wesley Matsell. (Tickets for the Cabaret Sauvage event are, incidentally, on sale now for 28 Euros from Digitick).

But we also have a lot of time for his undead partner-in-crime, fellow vegetarian Zombie Cosmic Neman (they only eat humans, apparently), who splits his drumming energies between his twin duos Zombie Zombie and Herman Dune. And today it is the selections of Neman that are filling our ears via his recent contribution to their home label stable Versatile’s occasional podcast series, a suitably eclectic yet undeniably motorik affair that hovers effortlessly between the twin monoliths of rock and electronic music, earning the Border Community stamp of approval right next to Versatile’s unwavering open-minded affirmation.
