Damn it's been awhile since i've done a mix! Running the events and agency has kept me crazy busy over the last year or so,  but with all the free time that I have now coz of this pandemic..... I really have no excuse. 

Another reason, why I had to do a mix was because Blackout Agency was invited by More Unst Radio to host a takeover, so I gathered a few of my homies , Brendon P, Maurice Simon and the master of the trippyness Eric Volta to put together something for the show. (All other mixes be up soon) 

I went into this mix with the idea of creating something that could be played at sunset, sunrise or an after party. Something trippy, but laid back and not too intense. I put together some of my fav tracks here for this mix and ended on a note with "Bryan Ferry - Don't Stop The Dance." These four words mean even more to me than they did before, especially in these crazy times where clubs, bars, events, concerts festivals and everything that I love has now come to a standstill. 

Whatever troubles, whatever these new rules are, whatever the circumstances we may face, even as we are locked in our own home, put on some music and.... "Don't Stop The Dance."

Stay Home, Stay Safe
 
Enjoy the mix!

More Unst Radio x Blackout - Zig Zach "Don't Stop The Dance" (April 2020)

Zig Zach has carved out a name for himself as a cornerstone of Southeast Asia's electronic music scene. As the driving force behind Blackout Agency—a creative consultancy and DJ booking powerhouse—he has played a pivotal role in delivering diverse yet thoughtfully curated lineups to Singapore's vibrant cityscape, featuring artists like John Talabot, Midland, Paramida, Moxie, Leon Vynehall, Roman Flügel, Gerd Janson, Prins Thomas, and many more. His work has brought world-class electronic music to an ever-growing audience, cementing his reputation as a curator of exceptional sound.

Behind the decks, Zach's journey has taken him across continents, performing in Asia, Europe, and North America. His sound is neither bound by era nor trend, adapting effortlessly to any setting. From intimate clubs to major festivals like Amsterdam Dance Event, Epizode, Wonderfruit, and ZoukOut, he's shared his distinct musical perspective with discerning listeners worldwide. His mixes have found homes on influential airwaves, gracing Red Light Radio (Amsterdam), Rinse FM (UK), and Mixmag Radio Asia.

Beyond the decks, he pushes culture forward through film screenings, art events, and community initiatives via Sunday Social Market. By weaving music, art, and activism together, he's built more than a career—he's fostered a community, solidifying his role as a true cultural tastemaker.

Pedro Azevedo started exploring music as instrumentalist and composer since his early teens, being part of several projects as guitarist, bassist, vocals, or electronic instruments. From Portugal’s rave parties and punk concerts to Barcelona’s underground electronic and indy, the emerging Singapore club culture to the dark and prolific Phnom Penh music scene, Pedro’s love for cultures and wide spectrum of music is the creative driving force of his global sounds. 
After his one-year residency at one of Singapore’s notable cocktail bars, Spiffy Dapper in 2013 (where he explored the origins of American and European rock establishing a monthly vintage night called Little Bastard Sessions), he joined Kilowatt Sound System, a Singapore-based DJ collective and embarked on a musical journey exploring into his Portuguese roots in contemporary electronic sounds, such as Angolan Kuduro, Samba, Favela Funk and their fusion with techno and house, rooting from the Lisbon Sound’s emerging identity.
In 2015, he was involved in shaping Phnom Penh’s nightlife scene, hosting Showbox's weekly dark rock’n’roll jam sessions and played at late night techno parties under his monikers, Little Bastard and 136 Bliss.
Throughout his 6 years stint in Singapore and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Pedro has played alongside La Mamie’s and Chicks on Speed; pop-up events for Sailor Jerry Rum, Under The Bridge, Aliwal Urban Art Fest, Golden Street Festival and venues such as Gem Bar, Artistry, Blujaz, Tusk, Duplex and Club Love just to name a few.

You’ll find Dr Pokoly playing records full of feeling, keeping it deep, playful and timeless. Reveling in the intimacy of hot spots, back rooms, after-hours and private parties where he can share his diverse musical taste and genuine love of music.
