Cazuma and Andreas first met in Gothenburgs burning House scene in the early 2000’s. Andreas was already releasing music and DJ-ing while Cazuma was just getting into the club scene. Some years later, as they both were getting more and more into deep techno, Andreas was blown away by Cazuma’s pure devotion behind the decks blending epic melodies and tribal rhythms together seamlessly. After having witnessed a poncho clad Cazuma mesmerizing a hundred ravers during an outdoor party on Gothenburg’s highest mountain, playing hours of strictly native american flavored techno, Andreas simply knew he had to ask Cazuma to to some kind of collaboration.
Four years and many session of astral jamming together both in Gothenburg and Berlin (Andreas new home) they’ve released music on Mule Electronic and Local Talk. In 2015 they will put out music on Atjazz Record company. The first single features the slow disco flavored “Bird” and “Sleepscope” a nine minute “afro techno meets ambient”-journey.

Cazuma is a swedish-japanese producer and dj based in Gothenburg, Sweden. He has released records solo as Cazuma on Kurbits Records and The Free Spirit Society as well as in the duo Cazuma & Andreas on Mule Electronic and Local Talk with Andreas Saag aka Swell Session. He has also been an active force in the house and techno scene in Gothenburg for several years. Indoors and outdoors and as a resident at different clubprojects.
