Hi, ok, 

So the styles by the tracks are guidelines instead of hard truths. I basically improvise on the liveset. 
Dependent on which party or event I am in the music is what is there at the moment. Music is way bigger than the musician I am just happy to be witness to the process. 

So no, I don't play one style as the mixes below with show very clearly. I just try and find the point of resonance between where I'm at and the people who come to the party. 

Weekend raves are about feeling good in a world that doesn't give much space for that. Music comes to us to help us get through and sometimes if we are lucky see through.

Born in Beijing and based in Berlin, Dj Zhao brings a poly-cultural understanding of polyrhythm to dance floors all over the world, and applies historical materialist analysis to the study of social music.  Not restricted by style and convention, Dj Zhao's deeply percussive sets span across genres and draws from wildly different times and places, connecting Africa, Asia, and South America, acoustic and electronic, traditional and hyper-modern.

Le collectif explore les musiques du Rio de la Plata pour partager avec le public un dialogue envoûtant entre les sons et les corps. Fondé en 2002 par le pianiste Julien Blondel, il se décline aujourd'hui en plusieurs projets et répertoires.

La culture de cette région d'Argentine sert de creuset à des répertoires qui parcourent l'espace de jeu, du bal « milonga » à la chorégraphie concertante, de la tradition à la modernité, du folklore à l'inouï.

Installé à Saint Etienne, le collectif Roulotte Tango regroupe une dizaine de musiciens de la région Rhône-Alpes qui donnent vie aux projets du collectif : concerts, milongas, conférences, enregistrements et créations scéniques et chorégraphiques. Il entretient un partenariat fructueux avec des associations qui enseignent la célèbre danse argentine, notemment à Saint Etienne, Toulouse, Avignon et Paris.

Le collectif s'inscrit ainsi dans le vaste mouvement de développement des musiques traditionnelles latino-américaines en Europe.
