Want your attention So I don’t have to learn how to stand up for myself Alluring addiction Hanging around your neck, pretending we’re separated I won’t leave you quiet I won’t leave you calm Want your attention So i don’t fall into the pit of my degradation Alluring addiction hanging around your neck pretending we never happened No way that I’m gone Spit into my pit of degradation Tension of attention No way that I’m gone I won’t leave you quiet I won’t leave you calm No way that I’m gone I won’t need you quiet I won’t need you calm No way that I’m gone I won’t leave you quiet I won’t leave you calm

Soven čhave soven, joj, de ča te chal na mangen. Joj, bo miri daj phuri Androdi kaľi phuv Spite, deti, spite, len jesť nepýtajte Lebo moja mať úbohá je pod čiernou zemou. My v Prešove sedeli sedem väzňov na celi. V koridore krokov pár, zakričal na nás bachár. [Sedeli sme v Prešove, sedem väzňov na cele. V koridore krokov pár, zakričal na nás bachár.] joj, de ča te chal na mangen. Len jesť nepýtajte Androdi kaľi phuv Pod čiernou zemou

Isama Zing is a Bratislava based producer, DJ, member of Mäss micro-collective and SHAPE platform affiliate. 

His latest album Blurry AF is a collection of tracks that oscillate between
recontextualization of the traditional roma ballads “halgato”, vocally driven pop architeture, outbursts of noise, drone and euphoric synth stabs all held together by tangible sound design.
 
More than a solo body of work this is a collaborative effort, a search for the magic that happens in between, rather than in one's own head. Each song features a distinctive figure in their own niche - Prague based producers Oliver Torr and Aid Kid, noise-cumbia-dancehall aficionado DJ GÄP, visual artist turned sound explorer 3C 273, vocal contributions from Canadian/Slovak singer-songwriter Milan André Boronell, Indie pop voice Ela Tolstová, slovak actress Táňa Pauhofová, and IZ's former collaborator Johana Belišová. 
It is Johana’s mother, Jana Belišova’s ethnomusicology work, in the field of traditional Roma music, which became the cornerstone for two ballads sung by Irena Pokutova and Bela Pokuta – a tribute to the musical heritage of Roma peoples, who stand against systemic oppression and ever-increasing extremist tendencies at home and beyond Slovakian contexts.
 

Blurry AF is an engaging reaction. A middle finger to scene tribalism and in the bigger picture, to the ever increasing social segregation, whether in digital or public spaces: organ drones, soft r’n’b vocals, brutal outbursts of industrial debris all interplay and melt into something inconspicuously new.
