"Melancholy Is The Pleasure Of Being Sad." - Victor Hugo.  

Melanchollia is such a complex emotion..... Its just really hard to explain it. But I just LOVE being in that state......  and the right melancholic music either makes you remember everything or forget everything. 

I love putting melancholic mixes... its sooooo much more challenging for me. I can put out a 1h our techy techno happy banging whatever mix any time... any day.....too easy... THIS is the real challenge for me.  

Lots of my favourite tracks in this mix..... some new... some old.... all damn good nonetheless. =) 

Kick back and enjoy the mix. 

Feel free to leave comments and share the mix. Thanks!!

The last hour of the Power Plant 5 Years party at Berns in Stockholm Cassy and I recorded our set. Enjoy! 

Recorded 3rd Dec 2016.

Cassy b2b La Fleur @ Berns, Stockholm, 03.12.2016

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)

Was recently invited to do a mix for the Huntleys + Palmers radio show on RinseFM in the UK. Rinse FM is one of the leading radio stations for top quality electronic music and a lot of my favourite artists have either held down residencies or done mixes for many of the shows on the station. Being a part of something like this is very special to me. =) Massive thanks to Andrew Thomson for making this happen.

As a DJ, Zach’s style is like his global reputation, it stretches pretty wide — he’s one of those selectors that takes pride in conceptually building up a story through music, and that’s exactly what he’s delivered to us for Mixmag Asia Radio. “For this mix, I leaned towards the trippy, cosmic, electronica stuff”, as Zach categorically puts it.

Mixmag Asia Radio 029: Zig Zach

#Savemusicsg was set up to help raise awareness to bring forward a discussion with the govt here about how these rules are affecting not only the livelihood and the mental state of musicians, but also the people stuck here in this warped reality.

Here's the recording of my set from the 2 day live stream featuring some of the local DJs . I hope you enjoy this mix and I hope to share a dancefloor with all of you soon.  

After these last two years, I'll never take attending live music and playing live infront of a crowd for granted ever again.


Peace out ZZ.
