Zig Zach has carved out a name for himself as a cornerstone of Southeast Asia's electronic music scene. As the driving force behind Blackout Agency—a creative consultancy and DJ booking powerhouse—he has played a pivotal role in delivering diverse yet thoughtfully curated lineups to Singapore's vibrant cityscape, featuring artists like John Talabot, Midland, Paramida, Moxie, Leon Vynehall, Roman Flügel, Gerd Janson, Prins Thomas, and many more. His work has brought world-class electronic music to an ever-growing audience, cementing his reputation as a curator of exceptional sound.

Behind the decks, Zach's journey has taken him across continents, performing in Asia, Europe, and North America. His sound is neither bound by era nor trend, adapting effortlessly to any setting. From intimate clubs to major festivals like Amsterdam Dance Event, Epizode, Wonderfruit, and ZoukOut, he's shared his distinct musical perspective with discerning listeners worldwide. His mixes have found homes on influential airwaves, gracing Red Light Radio (Amsterdam), Rinse FM (UK), and Mixmag Radio Asia.

Beyond the decks, he pushes culture forward through film screenings, art events, and community initiatives via Sunday Social Market. By weaving music, art, and activism together, he's built more than a career—he's fostered a community, solidifying his role as a true cultural tastemaker.

Welcome to the Outershell. A series of releases, mixes and podcasts which explore connections.

Outershell is a project that has roots in the struggle with identity, self perception and expression. 

The Connected series allows us to invite guests to display some of their favourite music. In doing so, we deepen our connection with them and perhaps unearth some forgotten or unheard gems. We hope the music our guests share will resonate with you as it does with us. 

Releases will follow a similar suit; we want the music we post to be a personal but shared experience.
