Area 3000 Radio founder Sindy speaks to Zak Degenhardt. You may be familiar with Zak’s productions and DJ performances under the moniker Cassettes For Kids. However, very recently, Zak announced a rebrand as Wretla.

Zak’s distinctive fusion of nostalgic rave, house, and breaks quickly propelled him to the forefront of the Australian dance music scene. Renowned for his genre-spanning music and electrifying performances, he injects high energy into every track and set, engaging audiences with a seamless blend of eclectic sounds that range from house and techno to disco, DNB, garage, and beyond.

Zak has made a name for himself not only through his productions but also through his memorable DJ sets. These include sold-out shows at venues like Xe54 and Lost Sundays and standout appearances on platforms such as Boiler Room, where his set was highlighted as one of the "Top Moments of 2021."

Beyond his role as a performer and producer, Zak is deeply involved in the music community as a curator and collaborator. He is committed to promoting emerging talent and exploring new possibilities in electronic music, influencing the genre's evolution and actively shaping the sound of the scene.
