Ikram Bouloum has used her own name to give life to a DJ avatar, which in recent months has become her most personal yet still emphatically collective project. Her sets have been described as a mash-up of contemporary sounds that defy categorisation and explore cutting-edge, uncharted territories.
Ikram Bouloum’s theoretical and practical research is centred on contemporary music and its constituent imagery. An important part of the new-and-improved Sala Vol and member of the Zen 55 collective, Bouloum will team up with Isamit Morales of iii [aiaiai] in a four-handed DJ set, surveying genres that range from the new aesthetics of brutalist club, reminiscences of kuduro, tuki, reggaeton, dancehall and dembow to the darkest, choppiest electronic sounds, striving to avoid identity-related expectations. She is also a humanities student specialising in modern and contemporary aesthetics.
