For this new mix in the series, we had the pleasure of inviting Zaatar زَعْتَر, a dj and producer of Moroccan and Belgian origins currently based in France.

Zaatar زَعْتَر finds her inspiration in the post punk and EBM movement of the late 80’ and early 90’ and melodies and sounds inherited from her home country Morocco. 

Let her take you on a captivating journey from light to darkness, an oscillation between joy and melancholy sometimes punctuated by oriental melodies.

Death to imperialism. 🔻🇵🇸🇱🇧🇾🇪🔻
🔻𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 for freedom. Also I urge us to globalize & escalate revolt against the plain fascist rhetoric&crimes of colonial states. Don't like the music (pun intended) of those white mediocrity n4z* boots. No encore.
