From Rio to London, via Lisbon, French DJ and producer iZem scoured the studios and the clubs of the world seeking new musical horizons.
Ranging from Afro-latin grooves to Hip Hop, from Dancehall to cutting-edge electronics, his adventurous productions are a constant search for links between cultures.
He collaborated with artists such as Brazilian legend Elza Soares, Cape-Verdean global star Mayra Andrade, as well as French beatmaker Guts. His efforts to travel off the beaten track have long been supported by some of the greatest tastemakers, including Gilles Peterson, Bonobo, Mount Kimbie, Lefto, Quantic or Branko.
iZem spent the last 15 years traveling through Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal and Ireland. Inspired by the musical scene of his favourite destinations, the French beatmaker released EP’s on Enchufada, Heavenly Sweetness and a full-length album on Soundway Records.
