Izem
TROPICAL LUNATICS EDITS
GAMM / gamm094
12 Inch
Oh yes, this a heavyweight bad boy on GAMM from French beatmaker/producer iZem. After his extensive travels around the globe the sound on the EP is influenced by Africa, Cuba as well as the middle east. ITT is an electronic take on a classic Fela joint, Celia (Cruz) goes along a similar route but on the latin tip. Both are pretty nasty and a near perfect marriage between futuristic productions and raw retro samples. Finishing off the EP we get served a slice of arabic boogie using Hipnotics hard to find boogie gem *Are You Lonely* and some fierce middle eastern vocals.
