DJ Mark Zabala began his career in 1999 in the forests and deserts of Southern California. After five successful years of contributing to a vibrant community of dancers who would drive hours to experience music that felt truly transcendental, he was recruited by the Ninja Skillz crew to bring some of the outdoor vibe to clubs, themed warehouse events and outdoor festivals.


His passion for music has taken him through a journey that has led him through nearly every electronic music genre. He loves the syncopated grooves of house and breaks, the bass of electro and dubstep, the timbres of techno and psytrance, the atmospheres and emotions of progressive, the splintered cuts and arrangements of idm and drum n bass, the organic and natural sounds of world and folk music, the catchiness and relatability of pop.  Zabala fuses them together in a way that matches and enhances the environment he is playing in.


He has risen to the forefront of the Los Angeles EDM with successful appearances at major LA nightclubs like Spundae @ Circus, Giant @ Vanguard, multiple desert oasis festivals in Mexico, The Alma Paradiso on Catalina Island, The Elysium Midsummer Festival, Freakshow, The Hollywood Palladium, several "Decompression" events in California and Nevada, and several years on multiple stages and art cars at the annual Burning Man festival.

His love for events also resulted in long-running club nights such as the Forbidden Series in Chinatown, and the Fable events at the Medusa. He has played on lineups with DJs such as Sasha, Meat Katie, The Crystal Method, Luke Fair, Filthy Rich, diva Danielle, Hedflux, and many others.


Now he is based out of Austin, Texas and launching the record label - Umbraphile Records




Michael Insane began rocking decks at the ripe old age of eight.  A lot of things have happened since then.  He has seen the birth of Techno, the rush of Trance and the rave scene, the evolution of Electro and even Dubstep, Future House, Deep Techno and now the emergence of basement Bass House.  He believes that one thing is constant and true... good music is good music.  If you ask him if he plays good music he will shrug, smile and suggest lots of other DJs to listen to, other than himself.  His sets range from Electro to Bass House to Techno to Tech House and even Deep and Progressive House.  This form of DJ A.D.D. fits with his label "insane."  You never know what you're going to get with this guy, but you are always sure of one thing, it's going to be funky, fun, dirty and groovy.  He's guaranteed to make you shake your tail feathers.
