Klubikon Podcast 183 – Zakem

Klubikon — Fri, 16 May 2025 10:35:43 +0000

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

Klubikon Podcast 181 – A Path Untold

Klubikon — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 16:53:20 +0000

The 181st Klubikon Podcast is mixed by the American DJ and producer A Path Untold.

A Path Untold is the expansive musical vision of composer and producer Daniel Merrill, known for crafting a boldly unique signature sound that blends elements of atmospheric slow-house, future garage, breakbeat, and downtempo aesthetics.

This adventurous hybrid, A Path Untold, is equally suited for eclectic dancefloors and intimate listening spaces alike, offering immersive, melodic storytelling through innovative composition. His music channels deeply personal, heartfelt expression with an emotional, otherworldly quality, seamlessly fusing elegant, syncopated grooves with an undercurrent of fierce defiance. Thematically, his work explores profound dualities: ancient and futuristic, euphoric and melancholic, technological and natural, individual and collective.

Daniel Merrill debuted the A Path Untold project with the release of ‘Secret Subtle Light’ in 2015, setting the tone for his alchemical approach to production. Drawing from a diverse array of genre influences, the album introduced listeners to a deeply introspective yet expansive sonic world – one both meditative and transformative in its scope. Building on this foundation, subsequent releases such as 2018’s ‘Wander to Serve’ LP, 2020’s ‘Lone Dweller’ EP, and 2022’s ‘Sourcery’ LP released in collaboration with the renowned art collective The Chambers Project, have garnered international acclaim. These works are celebrated for their intricate production, emotional resonance, and the ability to transport listeners through evocative, cinematic soundscapes.

Now, he unveils a double album via Epidemic Sound: ‘In The Light of Shadow’ and ‘Realms of Solace’, both offering an immersive blend of cinematic breakbeat, ethereal slow-house, and future garage.

Listen to the 181st Klubikon Podcast.

“‘Realms of Solace’ has been a very special project, and album for me – it’s a sonic reflection of the emotions and moments that have shaped my creative path. Its fusion of mystical melodies, textured driving rhythms, and cinematic world-building capture a sense of movement between light and shadow, ancient and future. To bring that feeling to life in a new way, I created this hour-long mix that blends tracks from the album with some select older pieces that still resonate with me. It’s an exploration of where I’ve been and where I am now, both as an artist and a storyteller through the medium of sound. If this mix speaks to you, I’d suggest also checking out ‘In The Light Of Shadow’, the EP I put out just before ‘Realms of Solace’. It focuses on more of a future garage breakbeat vibe and leans into further contrast of dualistic elements – light/shadow, euphoria/melancholy. Together, they form a blended journey through different moods and spaces, and I think they complement each other nicely.” – A Path Untold
