@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.

Melted Reality

The album CLEMENCY holds exceptional significance for CHARITY SsB, as it represents not only a music collection but also his bold venture and evolution in the realm of music production. This album signifies his transformation from a rapper into a versatile music producer. Moreover, it marks his first formal album after years of collaboration with the renowned Shanghai electronic music label GENOME 6.66 Mbp.

CLEMENCY comprises ten diverse tracks, each capturing CHARITY SsB's life reflections and musical insights at various points in time. From 2020's Only One and The Meaning of Life to Wood House and Zhuangzi created during Shanghai's lockdown in 2022, these tracks span several years, showcasing his creative depth and rich emotional world.

The album's title, CLEMENCY, embodies a profound philosophy. CHARITY SsB believes that in a world filled with desire, conflict, and war, and within the complexities of societal systems, music is a divine gift of mercy and solace to humanity. Music creation is his sole pathway to experiencing true freedom and spiritual liberation. It holds significant meaning in his life, serving as his soul's sanctuary and the pillar of his spirit.

Many tracks in the album, such as the nearly ten-minute-long Wood House and the ambient-rich Courier, display intricate segment connections and rich musical layers. These songs resemble unique journeys, with each journey offering distinct life meanings. Through these musical works, CHARITY SsB conveys his profound insights into life and his boundless passion for music. To him, music is like a utopia of the spiritual world, providing him with endless solace and inspiration.
