ZAGAM - ANTHROPOCENE (PERSONALBRAND REMIX) by UNIZONE published on 2023-05-04T11:15:22Z @nozagam is a solo project by French experimental-club producer Etienne Zastko who takes a bleak view of a destructive Anthropocene Epoch, in which “utopias can’t exist and we’ve lost our way in our blind devotion to technology”. The album pieces together a chronology of catastrophic events. A fictionalized soundtrack to humankind’s end-cycle. The abrasive textures and suffocating atmosphere immerse us into a total universe where everything that could have gone wrong has. Affirmations and tech bro optimism didn’t quite cut it. And if those disembodied voices that sporadically reach out are the survivors, that’s not good news. The visual aesthetic of Zagam is one of fusion, a medieval plague doctor mask with a 23rd-century twist. “Anthropocene” mines a similarly disparate set of influences, spanning an evermore hybridized clubspace. Gqom, grime, industrial techno, footwork: everything is fair game. The rich musical background and hard sonic palette of Zagam make for a perfect match for the hybrid electronics approach of Unizone. credits Anthropocene is coming out on May 4, 2023 as a digital and physical release (50 limited edition cassettes available via label‘s Bandcamp page). original tracks by Zagam remix tracks by Miedo Total, Wulffluw XCIV, personalbrand & B E N N mastered by Wim Dehaen artwork & visuals by Erranth tape design by Mr. Maquerelle text by Thomas Romana Genre Electronic
