BIO:
Zacharia is a name synonymous amongst Seattle’s underground dance music culture. Starting his musical and personal healing journey in the mid 90’s within the warehouse walls of the rave scene, he quickly found himself at the forefront of the drum and bass movement curating events and performing alongside the top tier drum and bass artists of the time. After being submerged in amen breaks and the driving / edgy sounds of dnb for 10 years, Zacharia was led to Burningman in 2005. It was there that he started his accent to the next phase of his musical expression. Coinciding with this change in musical direction was a shift in his personal path too healing. This trajectory can be tracked when following his musical progression, the past 17 years. Zacharia chose to start anew, eventually detaching from who he was personally and musically, and recreated himself from the ground up. As the Phoenix ascended, a more authentic, grateful, and loving version of himself emerged. 

Zacharia also prides himself on is his work helping to design and support Rane mixers during his tenure working with the original company between 2007 - 2016. His pinnacle accomplishment within the company was his hand in bringing to the world the MP2015 rotary mixer which, to this day, is a necessary component in his performances. 

Rane was sold in 2016 at which point Zacharia felt inspired to share the wisdom he had acquired on his own path to healing and chose to become a substance abuse counselor. After graduating in 2018, Zacharia found a perfect home with Bhadra Recovery and is currently the clinical supervisor and lead counselor, focusing on non-traditional methods and modalities to help others reconnect with themselves and others. 

This career path and his musical expression have begun to coalesce in a really beautiful way. 

More fully resourced and with a broader understanding of the healing process, Zacharia connects the masculine and feminine aspects of himself, delivering driving, yet gentle and nurturing, soundscapes with the intention to dig into the tough spots while resonating with the heart. Invigorated, passionately inspired, and heart centered, Zacharia is extremely excited to share the journey of life and re-discovery through his music today and long into the future.

Zacharia - 
“I am honored to become a part of the Wulfpack and believe it is a cosmic and serendipitous fit. I’m excited to be broadening my tribe and connecting to an outlet that can showcase my mixes and music in a way that feels right.

Here's to new beginnings!  This mix - titled 'Strength" is part 1 of a 12-part monthly themed studio mix series that I've committed to releasing this year. 

I mixed this set in October 2022, when I began feeling my strength again, in my amazing DJ Lounge in Eugene, Oregon.
The picture was taken on January 1st, 2023 at Bucerias beach near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

2022 was a huge challenge for me.  The best things about it were my DJ career thriving post-pandemic, my daughter of course, and other than those, just getting through it.

The hardest things were that it was the first year devoid of hope for my marriage yet still living in the same apartment together the entire year, and that it was the year my mother passed - and those things were HEAVY.  

Hence the need for strength.  Dating for the first time after 15 years was a shitshow, and by summer what I already knew started to sink in hard - focusing on my daughter was a way better idea.  When my mom became very ill, it drove this point home further.

Just as I was starting to feel some strength, my mom lost the last bit she had left.  At first I relapsed badly into bad habits. She passed suddenly while I was preparing to come out to Connecticut, and I felt tremendous guilt when I didn't make it out to be with her at the end.

Although I took my mom's passing really hard, it was the catalyst for change I needed. 

I went from mid-September through the end of the year alcohol-free. I've had a few drinks in January but don't think I'll ever have a drinking habit like I did before.  I gave up herb early November and haven't looked back.  

I gave up these 'vices' without judgement but in the name of health, clarity, and productivity.  I wanted to stop getting in the way of myself and achieve my true potential.  I wanted to feel my strength again.

2023 will be a crazy year for me.  It's the 25th year of my party, Tropical, and the last one.  No one wants me to end it, and so this also takes strength.  I've given a lot through this event - in many ways too much.  

Of course I'm going a little nuts with it to the finale but I'm also showing restraint.  I want to respect the party and give it the finish it deserves, but I have much else to do and know all too well it gets it the way of really being able to focus on other things.

My DJ career is a constant hustle, and is back to being my main source of income.  That's not actually my vision but you also have to respect what's working. My venue booking business is growing slowly, largely because I'm limited by the other things. but I know it's my most sustainable future.

This is the last year I will work this hard.  It's the end of a decade I knew I would work really hard, and I want to respect the deadline I set to take a chill pill and be focused on other things including self-care, and my daughter. I'm still going to work real hard after 2023, but more efficiently and with more help.  And without the burden and risk of organizing events.

I started a bit early last Fall with increased self-care, sleep, and focus on Cerise - but with the onset of 2023 I'm also feeling the crunch of so many projects and goals.  Still I feel more balance than I used to. And that is also strength.

Well I can go on forever but I'm going to cut myself off.  I haven't said a word about the music on this mix this time, but that's ok, it speaks for itself.

I hope you enjoy the mix, and find strength in yourself this year and beyond!

Track list coming soon <3
