Introducing to you "U-Topic Guests": a series of mixes from national and international artists, who's art we admired and want to share it to the world.

The 28th guest is special one, as they were born in Paraguay, but have lived in Switzerland since they were 2 years old.

Zadkiel (they/he) is a Swiss-Paraguayan DJ who seeks to rethink rhythms through broken beats, delayed kicks, electrifying tension, and a relentless groove that pulses with raw, old-school energy. Dance with it, dance against it but let it break you.

An active member of the Neuchâtel-based collective Retroblast, they’ve been deeply involved in the local scene for several years, not only as a DJ but also as a visual artist. 

Under the alias of HZJM, they've been working with graphic design, photography, and video to create a multidimensional world shaped by shared themes: dreamlike aesthetics, alterity, club culture, queer identity, and the fluid dialogue between mediums.

Since 2023, Zadkiel has performed in key venues across the Swiss scene, including SAS (Delémont), La Case à Chocs(Neuchâtel), La Coupole (Biel), and Festi’Neuch, sharing line-ups with artists such as The Lady Machine, MCR-T, Miss Bashful x DBBD, and Shoki287. 

Their musical inspirations span a wide range but when it comes to techno and electro, it includes Gary Beck, Helena Hauff, JakoJako, Luke Slater, Nur Jaber, Polygonia, Surgeon, Yanamaste, and more.

Hypnotic sounds, breaks, bass and psychedelic atmospheres lover

Swiss-based multidisciplinary artist, part of Retroblast collective in Neuchâtel. I enjoy playing different genres of electronic music, to discover and to share my passion for music. From breaks of all kinda to loopy mental techno, from old school housy tunes to hard pounding grooves but also from neo perreo to experimental rhythms.

Follow me on instagram to keep up with my work and you can book me by DM on IG.
