update: unfortunately the artist has removed the track, but if you want to explore iZem's music - check out his artist page on Stereofox.

Prepare for a nice music trip somewhere in the exotic parts of North Africa. I gotta say - iZem's collaboration with Feather is the nicest thing in the downtempo scene I've heard in a while. It kinda reminds me of the early Bonobo, but more... adventurous and the credit for that goes to the vast music culture of the Pakistan-born-French-world-traveler-beat-maker-the-list-goes-on-and-on iZem.

The track is taken off his new EP Hafa - a title inspired by an important cultural cross-point in Tangier, Morocco - Café Hafa. It kinda feels like Brazil meets south of Europe meets north of Africa kinda thing going on. Very beautiful, smooth and a must for every music lover. Now time to dig into these lushful sounds!
