Phoenician Drive
Phoenician Drive is a six piece band formed by Chilean percussionist Diego Moscoso who gathered musicians with very different backgrounds with the intention to make drums and fuzzy guitars meet with oud, rek and other Eastern percussions. In the footsteps of earlier East-West musical blendings from 70’s like Erkin Koray or Orient Express, and under the influence of the German kraut-rock scene (Neu!, Can, Faust, ...) and the 60’s soundtrack composers, Phoenician Drive searches the hypnotic transe based on distorted oriental grooves. Phoenician Drive released their debut ep ‘Two Coins’ on EXAG’ (EU) and Stolen Body Records (UK) in April 2017 and got a particular attention on the rock scene and the world music scene as well. After touring accros Europe for a year, Phoenician Drive put out a self-titled debut album in October 2018 and collaborated with the renowed belgian choreographer Wim Vandekeybus for whom they created the music for his entire new performance called «Trap Town».
