Think (Fela5000-Miles-under the sea-of-Zep-love-Bowie-tronic-nacht-musicâ.)DOZ's story is one of an odd and ethereal scope. The DOZ world is a philo-visual landscape where matters of theheart, rationality, and mythos swim in colorful electric pools of deep and unfettered love.
Bronx born and raised in Cleveland, OH the band is fronted by twins, Aku and Akwetey O.T. Having trained classically since the age of 5, Aku and his twin only most recently began playing together. The twins forged their musical knowledge to new territory studying music theory and performance with legendary Jazz saxophonist/flutistYusef Lateef.
The two began crafting songs engaging Lateef's"auto-physio-psychic" understanding of music, carving new sounds out of rhythms and melodies at once familiar and 'far out'.
Just fresh out of their teen years, the twins got their hustle working production jobs in NYC. "We'd work all over town. We'd escort Jay-Z and Beyonce to their dressing rooms at the Garden, or score Wu-Tang boxes of blunt wraps at Roseland. "
It seems that the twins are indeed in good company. Fleshing out the band is the fierce Chicago native Bizza (Drums). Bzza, an accomplished musician in his own right, State-Champion drummer at the age of 7.
DOZ's performances have bolstered a truly majestic sound that now has avant-rock fans coming out of the woodwork. One such knob-twirler is TV on the Radio/Liars/YYY's producer Dave Sitek. An accredited co-producer on DOZ's debut, Sitek has been instrumental inviting the Dragons to debut their band opening for TV on The Radio in 2005. DOZ has since lent their hands in the 'Cookie Mountain' sessions and have been collaborating with Massive Attack on new material.
And lest we not mention the release of CORONATION THIEVES, what might be on of the most psychotropically astonishing debut records in recent memory! Here be the Dragons.
