Zoroastafari

On first listen, it seems like it would be easy to pinpoint the origins of Zoroastafari’s debut album, Inity. The Winnipeg project’s deep roots reggae vibes and dub experiments appear to point directly to Jamaica, but the project’s true inspirations are far more international. Inity – a collaboration between dub/electronic outfit Hypernashion, drum & bass MC Pucona, and Polish producers Julian Burger and JPL Retro Style – draws as much from progressive rock and Poland’s reggae-inspired post-punk scene as it does from classic roots. The result blends island flavour with an Eastern European soul – a combination with an uplifting lyrical focus on oneness and spiritual unity.
