Hello everyone and welcome, this is our infamous Il Modo podcast! You are cordially invited to come with us around Planet progressive, as we search for the most exclusive DJ sets we can find.... 

Sri Lanka is fast becoming the go-to spot for the world's elite progressive DJ's, which is in turn having a knock on effect on her artists. A major rise in top tier talent over the last few years has seen Sri Lankan artists grace many a festival headline across the world. Today we land at the home of another of those artists, looking to make big name for himself on both the domestic and international clubbing scene. We have featured quite a few of them recently, today's guest is no exception... make some noise for ZEN!!

ZEN  (Banuka Senadheera) is a passionate artist dedicated to creating more than music; he crafts a vibe. Originating from Sri Lanka, ZEN has built his sound on a foundation of Progressive and Melodic House, weaving his sets with seamless energy and deep rooted rhythms that resonate with listeners around the world.

Since making his mark on the scene, ZEN’s journey has been defined by his commitment to delivering experiences that are as immersive as they are unforgettable. Each track selection, each beat drop, reflects his dedication to a sound that’s distinctly his own, shaped by influences from both global stages and local roots.

For ZEN, it’s not just about spinning tracks; it’s about connecting, uplifting, and creating an atmosphere where everyone can lose themselves in the moment. Off-stage, ZEN stays connected with the community, mentoring fresh talent and collaborating with artists who share his vision of music as a universal language.

More than just beats ZEN brings the energy, the authenticity, and the passion. Join the journey, there are only good vibes ahead!
