"Over dinner, the promoter mentioned how hard it was to play disco at the club, which made me smile, given the party was called “Bye Bye Disco.” She asked if I could play something that would help people understand and appreciate disco in a fresh, modern way, so that’s exactly what I set out to do. "

Recorded live at Bye Bye Disco in Beijing.

DJ Zaffa is a Venice-based DJ and selector with over two decades of experience in the underground music scene. Starting out at just 15, he was raised on a steady diet of funk, soul, and disco — thanks to a family immersed in nightlife and crate-digging culture. His sets reflect that upbringing: eclectic, groove-driven, and rooted in a deep appreciation for music across decades. Zaffa weaves together jazz-funk, boogie, ‘80s synth sounds, early house, and contemporary shades of techno and electronica, building sets that feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking. A skilled digger and thoughtful curator, he approaches DJing as a storytelling craft — prioritizing flow, energy, and mood over flashy transitions or obvious hits.

Beyond clubs, Zaffa is active in radio and podcast culture, notably through his series “Laguna Waves,” which explores underground and alternative sounds with guests like Robert Babicz. He has performed across Italy and played internationally with gigs in cities like London, Paris, or Zurich, steadily building a reputation for authenticity and musical depth. His selections have also been featured on platforms such as My Analog Journal (UK) or Sacré Radio (France).

Mix of the Week #599: the Beat Broker - Extended Summer

It feels quite surreal to say this, but Episode 03 of the Balearic London mix series is brought by none other than Italo house legend Don Carlos. Starting his DJ career in the late 70s, he is best known for his production debut 'Alone'. Widely known as the epitome of what dream house is, the track combines emotive piano chords, crisp percussion, and ethereal pads in what is beautifully floaty yet perfectly punchy perfection. Since then he's released more underground hits under his own name as well as his Montego Bay and Aquanauts monikers. He isn't just a legend of the 90s though, his releases in the recent years on Freerange Records, Utopia, Irma Records, and remixes on Wolf Music and more show that his music sounds as fresh now as ever.

We are so excited to have him as our next guest of our mix series. Get stuck in, and join us at Distillery N17 on the 5th of September where he will be headlining his first gig in London since 2020. Get your tickets at https://ra.co/events/2185010
