From The Podcast

Born in Beijing and based in Berlin, Dj Zhao brings a poly-cultural understanding of polyrhythm to dance floors all over the world, and applies historical materialist analysis to the study of social music. Not restricted by style and convention, Dj Zhao's deeply percussive sets span across genres and draws from wildly different times and places, connecting Africa, Asia, and South America, acoustic and electronic, traditional and hyper-modern.Select Past Performances:———————————FESTIVALSNyege Nyege (Uganda) Fusion Festival (Germany) Incubate (Holland) Odunde (USA)EXIT Festival (Serbia) Sondeka (Kenya) Club Trans Mediale (Germany) Sziget Festival (Hungary)Tribal Gathering (Panama) Ethnoport (Poland) Worldtronics (Germany) Fest de Bestuiving (Holland) Sineztezija (Montenegro) Sonar Festival (Germany) MišMaš (Czech Republic) Solar Weekend (Holland) Mikser (Serbia) Treffpunkt Afrika (Austria) Decoloniale (Germany)At.Tension (Germany) Hakuna Matata (Germany) Art Lake (Germany) ———————————CLUBSBerghain (Berlin, DE)Ponyaza (Johannesburg, SA)Ritter Butzke (Berlin, DE)La Riviera (Madrid, SP)About://Blank (Berlin, DE)Nuba (Paris, FR)Palác Akropolis (Prague, CZ)Watergate (Berlin, DE)Radialsystem (Berlin, DE)Danse Danse!
