McG started selecting almost a decade ago on university radio at WSUM 91.7 FM Madison, then a few years later for @sutrofm in San Fransisco. 

@spinzone_radio became a weekly show dedicated to sharing record shop finds. its early beginnings were mostly jazz-dominated then eventually took a plunge into the deep house and disco realms.

While residing in Madison, McG joined the JAMS crew to throw parties at Robinia Courtyard, opening for artists like Jkriv, Seb Wildblood, Peter Croce, Jeff Swiff, Christian James... 

Fast forward to now he's back in the heart of Minneapolis. McG recently formed "The Excavators": a DJ duo with fellow selector @qjmpls. The Excavators now host a newer series called Wax Appeal: a vinyl-focused party in Minneapolis.

This mix epitomizes The Spinzone Radio Show in all its jazziness, depth and grooviness.

Welcome to the episode 2 of AZZA's Friends with https://soundcloud.com/spinzone_radio! A radio show where my favorite musical friends share their auditory treasures in their favorite format with no conditions on format, length, style, genre, gear or others. If you're a friend of mine, we are linked musically and spiritually, and is all the connection we need! <3

~~McGinnnis~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I knew before I even asked him that McGuiness was going to dig up some of his weirdest and deepest records for this mix - not only is he intuitive at gauging what his audiences need next but he's a magician the way he levitates the perfect record from the crates - effortless. McGinnis and I have been friends since I joined the Madison based JAMS party in 2021 and forged our friendship in a number of high-octane B2Bs opening for many midwest favorites like Jeff Swiff, Christian James, Madison's beloved Jiggy, and more.  He never fails to crack me up while he captures the dancefloor in a story told through his cavernous crates.   

In this 80 minute all-vinyl escapade he demonstrates a wide musical range with some of his wonkier, moodier, and more contemplative tracks blended to perfection - a DJ who plays true to the season and the atmosphere while never compromising his diverse yet consistent sound. 

If being a nearly 100% Vinyl DJ (who rarely repeats a track), a Technics enthusiast (collector, repairman, AND broker), a party starter (Wax Appeal, JAMS), and a weekly radio host (134 and counting episodes of "The Spinzone") sounds like a lot of work you might be surprised to hang with the mastermind of it all - he's chiller than a cucumber and approaches his work with an unmistakable air of sprezzatura. 

McGinnis has been on this grind for over ten years and shows no signs of slowing down - now juggling shows in the three midwestern cities he's made a name for himself: Madison, Minneapolis, and Chicago. Check out his cool new website (https://www.mcginnis-spinzone.com/) full of all the wild things he's cooking up and make sure to catch him and one of the many gigs he's no doubt digging for as I type this... Enjoy!!

Barcelona based DJ and producer, she forward her vibe in places like @bridge48studios or Poblenou Urban District. Her works are crafted to evoke those timeless moments where music becomes a shared emotional connection. Deep isn't just a genre for her : "It's a state of being, where the music envelops, the lights fade, and the groove takes over."

Deeply inspired by hip-hop in all its forms—especially the Japanese underground— @kaisalart is passionate about US hip-hop and the late '90s/early 2000s French scene. He started out as a devoted listener, then moved into DJing, and now creates his own beats.

He founded Ofa Music Group, a collective/label that honors a specific era and musical aesthetic—where jazz and hip-hop blend seamlessly, and organic sounds meet lo-fi textures to create timeless atmospheres.

No matter how things evolve, the passion stays the same.

Garrett is a Washington-born and Brooklyn-based producer, DJ, and live performer who performs under both the moniker Pacifix (@pacifixsounds) since 2014, and Gbar (@gbargbar) since 2023.

While continuing to experiment with genres and keeping his Pacifix (@pacifixsounds) project going, upon moving to Brooklyn Garrett dove deep into the city’s underground scene and evolved his sound, leading him to decide to start a new project 'Gbar' (@gbargbar), which is more focused on darker, psychedelic, and raw underground music. 

He has sinced released 2 EPs, and an Album under Gbar on Brooklyn-based label Earth Dog Records (@earthdogbk | https://earthdog1.bandcamp.com/music)

Alongside DJing and producing, Pacifix has been developing hardware-based live sets that are raw and improvisational style. His performances blend deep and progressive tech house with psychedelic grooves, bass-driven broken beat, hypnotic techno, and organic textures—drifting between deep listening and dance floor euphoria.

Pacifix treats electronic music not just as sound, but as ritual—crafting sets that feel both intimate and expansive. Drawing from Brooklyn’s DIY energy and the natural mysticism of his Pacific Northwest roots, he fuses these influences into a sonic identity that is his own.
