MOROTOV is a North African artist, always on the move, originally from the urban city of Casablanca, he left his family home at the age of 15, adopting the nomad and engaged lifestyle. His stage name is a combination of the word "Moro", a variation of the term "Moor", used pejoratively by the European colonizer to designate people from North Africa, and "Molotov", symbolizing the chaos and the artisanal side of his lifestyle. The concept of this EP was inspired from Hatim's childhood memories when he use to wander in his neighborhood picking up bottles from the ground but instead of recycling them, he customized his bike with these empty bottles. This combination made a particular noise, and let him imagine driving a Harley Davidson. This creativity of inventing games from the garbage of the neighborhood was not an ecological choice or a recycling activity organized by elders or an association in his community but a form of resistance of this child and his friends to the boredom and marginalization that all children living in poor communities suffer from. "Trash" is an umbrella term that refers to many things, it can be a consumed trash can that was thrown away , where it can be also a slur to define people with a different way of thinking and a different life style like pirates, homeless, gypsy ,SexWorkers, immigrants, punk, ... all those individuals marginalized and categorized by the system as "trash." « Is my gold » is a reference to the emotional part of Hatim’s life, he has always been surrounded by these kind of people and always moved together with them, he created a family and for him family is more precious than gold. So with this family we are alway trying to create and transform what is considered as trash into something fresh again and alive. Finally “ Gold “ is there to represent this heritage of creating , transforming and appropriation from which happiness can emerge.
