Zouji is the project of Leipzig based French / Morrocan / American producer Adam Abdelkader Lenox, better known also for his work with the Noise Pop outfit Lingua Nada. The project is all about finding the soul in synthetic sounds: “I’m trying to make my machines sound human by emulating errors, randomness and tempo ups-and-downs while i’m trying my best as a human to sound like a machine.”
Back in 2021, he has released a new mixtape called Tagat which is out now via City Slang. Now he’s back with a new track called “One!“. He explains: “One!“ tells the story of a torn digital avatar looking for it’s final identity – the adventurous computer generated character lurks through claustrophobic digital maps, mutates into various skins and props, and travels through aesthetics of different times in hopes to find unity within itself. It looks for a perfect map to call home and the perfect props to be it’s own. Unsuccessfully.”
