Dissatisfied with the quality of his own music and feels lonely working solo.

Values interaction and companionship in music, which is why he doesn’t opt for a one-man band format.

Introduction x DOMINATOR (PSYQUI Edit) x Hikari no Houe (Awakening) (ZakuNuva Edit)

Born and raised in Greensboro NC, ZakuNuva was first exposed to EDM via 2000's techno and electronica. In later years, exposure to Drum and Bass in 2012 led to his love of fast and high paced music, eventually leading him to a love of Hardcore and it's adjacent genres. One of these genres, Future Core, was his gateway to the fast paced world of Japanese Hardcore, and eventually Techcore. Inspired by artists such as Psyqui, Lapix, and Srav3r, ZakuNuva began his DJ journey in VRChat during COVID. While honing his skills, he made virtual connections globally and locally, and was introduced to the CLT rave scene. With lockdown over and connections in Charlotte, Zaku made his debut at Isekai Wonderland's first installment. Since then he's delved deeper down the Techcore rabbit hole to bring the newest Japanese Hardcore bangers stateside.

ZakuNuva is now a Team member of Isekai Wonderland and Co-Owner of RaveWire, bringing Hard Dance to central NC!
