The 183rd Klubikon Podcast is mixed by Moroccan DJ and producer Zakem.
Zakem, co-founder of Avenoir Music, has been a key figure in Morocco’s electronic scene since 2015. His notable works include ‘When We Meet’, a remix of Shikiria by Enzo Siffredi & MoBlack, and Mors Medusae.
Now, Zakem joins forces with H.NOT on ‘I Can’t Breathe’, blending Afro house rhythms with emotive textures to reflect both artists’ commitment to innovative and engaging electronic music.
‘I Can’t Breathe’ encapsulates the synergy between Zakem and H.NOT, offering a deep, rhythmic experience that aligns with Avenoir Music’s vision.
“‘I Can’t Breathe’ is a deeply personal track for me. It’s a stripped-back, atmospheric piece that unfolds gradually, building around layered percussion and delicate melodic fragments. My aim was to create something immersive. I wanted to make a track that balances introspection with a sense of steady, underlying momentum. Hopefully it’s music that invites you in.
To accompany the release, I’ve curated this exclusive mixtape for Klubikon featuring ‘I Can’t Breathe’ alongside a selection of tracks that capture the sound and atmosphere I gravitate towards in my sets. It’s a blend of deep, percussive grooves and expansive melodic passages — a mix that reflects how I like to guide a journey, pulling listeners in and taking them somewhere without them even realizing it.” – Zakem
