Raised in the Moroccan city of Meknes and currently based in Casablanca, 3xOJ is a producer and DJ who folds decolonial North African concepts into genre-bending contemporary bass music. Following his fascinating 2019 debut EP 'sneper.exe' and a slew of collaborations with Sam Fan Thomas , TAIJI SCIN and others, 3xOJ returns with "Stork", a molten fusion of collapsing beats, urgent sociopolitical rap and the omnipresent ghosts North African folk styles.

The title track is a collaboration with Casablanca's Nabil Enmiri, aka Al Nasser, a rapper who has been mapping out the country's systemic oppression since 2004. On 'Stork' he snarls over 3xOJ's eerie cyberpunk minimalism, adding a poetic foundation to the duo's music that links decades of Moroccan musical culture. The EP is an ode to the power of lyricism, dedicated to legendary Algerian raï singer Cheb Hasni.

The EP also comes with a garbled, ass-shaking rework of the title track and 3xOJ instrumental production 'Amikiri' by Hakuna Kulala regular Don Zilla.

There is an immersion in an intimate universe of a liturgy where a language isn't understood in its total form, but we allow ourselves to experience it in order to feel, to be guided. This EP sprouts a language that comes from an inverse sense - it invades our interior and flourishes between our skin and organs. There is a sense of unease, the boundary between dark and light is very thin, making us wonder if the definition of barrier or limit really exists or it isn't all a single liquid that extends since our birth to our death, a thread that wraps us around our body, whispers, screams, moans and touches us, passively stirring the blood, making it warm. Ignora by MA'AM is the 16º release of ZABRA. With this release we extend ourselves to a deeper universe of the voices and the meaning of the word in order to challenge the language and its deconstruction process.
