PHILOSOPHY MIX - JUNE 2014 - ZINA

Aaagh this set was so much fun! 11:30-1:30am in the Den, which was jam packed and grooving hard.  I had a rough idea of where I was going to go with the set but ended up winging it and working in some of my favourite tunes of late and old.  I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it!
If you're in Sydney on a Sunday, SASH is where it's at - much love to the crew for having me and to my friends who made it down from far and wide to support.
Tracklist to come. x

SASH - 31MAY15 - ZINA

[ZINA] Your Paradise Festival Mix Contest Entry
Tropical: fun, uplifting and deeply melodic with tribal grooves, cowbell and definitely steel drums.  It's also sunsets, blue water, fresh fish, fun waves, coconuts and wicked vibes. I tried to get it all into an adventure of a mix with journey themes and sky references for the flight to Fiji...
Vocals courtesy of the late great Alan Watts. Enjoy!

[ZINA] Your Paradise Festival Mix Contest

An impromptu b2b set I played with @Danni_B at Ritter Butzke in Berlin, 10 July 2015.  Good times, great crew and plenty of German beer and Feffe shots!

Danni B & Zina B2b @ Ritter Butzke - 10JUL15

You know when you want something so bad that you're driven to work hard and make major life decisions to get it? Ever since my first Burn 3 years ago I have wanted to play a sunrise set on a good sound system to the the revellers tough enough to slog it out through a full night on the playa.  Burner vibes are one thing, but a clear morning as the sun rises over the mountains to illuminate the playa while playing your favourite tunes through an amazing sound system to legends that love them like you do is something else all together.

I was lucky enough to be invited to play at Sleazy Beaches from 7am - 9:30am, some of which was B2B with good friend and all-round legend @Daxlee who played before me. Many thanks to the friends who made it down, the Sleazy Beaches crew and Dax for the opportunity, the experience and the amazing vibes.

Please enjoy x

BURNING MAN 2015 - THURS 7AM-9:30AM @ SLEAZY BEACHES - DAX LEE & DAN ZINA

For those who couldn't make it and those that want to relive it, here's a recording of my latest @s-a-s-h-sundays set.

While every set I play at S*A*S*H is special for some reason or another, this one was particularly special because I got to play it to a frothing crowd of friends on a beautiful sunny summer's Sunday, outside in the open air at the Greenwood, through a well-tuned FunktionOne system as a warm-up for the very talented, super friendly and well-regarded legend of the 90's house movement in Chicago... the one and only Paul Johnson (@djpauljohnson).

To be asked to play this gig was an honour in itself so I took it upon myself to put together a special arsenal of worthy weapons (some vinyl, some digital) to play during the day to a mixed crowd of music-lovers keen to get in the mood for Paul Johnson.

I'm pretty happy with how the mix came together.  It's a bit of a journey through sounds from around the world, some old and some new, but all of which have characteristics/musical elements that link back to the origins of house music; the culture that supported the evolution of the music and cultivated the identity of the genre; the movement that resulted in the basis for nearly all forms of electronic dance music as we know it today; the scene that gave us artists like Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, Todd Terry and of course Paul Johnson... I'm talking of course about the 1990's Chicago house music scene.

Please enjoy loud enough to feel. x

Dan Zina at SASH by Day Feat. Paul Johnson [07JAN16]

Bali... What an amazing and culturally diverse community of beautiful, happy and inspiring humans.
This recording is from Koh (easily my favourite club on the island) on Sunday 10APR16.  The event was an afterparty for Horse Meat Disco at Potato Head and to celebrate the birthdays of two local legends, Ben Pound and Lee Stones.
SuCré SaLé (French Kitchen) and I went back to back for the first hour and Koh resident Dan Baartz joined us for the second hour.
The vibes were incredible.  Thank you to all the crew who were there and dancing through to to the end of the night - Much love!

Here’s a recording of my Sunday morning set on the Paradiso Stage at Subsonic 2016.
With blue skies and the sun rising, I was lucky enough to get to play from 10:30am to 12:00pm after the legendary @dreemsdreems and @vonparty put together a brilliant set of energetic and eclectic mid-tempo tunes.  Big love to them for setting such a fantastic vibe and to all the legends, friends and family who either hung around or came down to groove with me through this journey of a set.
Please enjoy. x

Dan Zina - Paradiso Stage - Subsonic 2016

What an incredible journey was Subsonic 2017 for all involved.  My gorgeous girlfriend and I drove the 7 hours down the coast from Byron Bay to Riverwood Downs in the Barrington Tops a full week before the festival to help her very talented sister create what turned out to be, in my somewhat biased opinion, the most amazing space at the festival.  Dubbed the Sonic Lounge, the room was a chilled-out, shoe-free trippy haven of sensual delights and comfy corners with quirky furniture and hidden rooms, complete with a custom seated DJ booth and four-point Funktion 1.  I was so proud to have got to work with such a talented crew to put this together in the few days before the festival, and absolutely stoked to get to play some of my favourite music in the setting that we created.  This mix was recorded from 10-12 on Friday night and was played to a room of extraordinary humans.  Some were doing acro yoga, some were meditating, and at times there was a full room of legends dancing to some of my favourite music.  At one point I got asked, "Answer with the first thing that comes into your head, what's your dream?"  The only answer I had was, "I'm living it."
This musical journey is a collection of my favourite tracks from the past couple of years, played while enjoying a festival (somewhat inebriated haha) to suit the mood and curate an atmosphere in the room we created.  I hope you enjoy this experience as much as I did.
Much love xxx

Dan Zina - Sonic Lounge - Subsonic 2017

So stoked to get back together with @daxleemusic for another B2B session, this time on @Rainbow-Serpent-Festival's Sunset Stage.  We played from 9:30-11am on the Saturday morning and it was to be the start of one of those epic days that I'll definitely never forget. The sun was shining, the revellers who made it through the night were still grooving hard and and the ones who got some sleep rolled in during our set with fresh energy, smiles and eskies full of cold drinks.  Massive thanks to all the friends and family that came down and contributed to the epic atmosphere that morning.  There's nothing quite like a boogie in the morning, especially when it's outdoor, with friends in the beautiful Australian bush.  Massive thanks to @Rainbow-Serpent-Festival for having us and for throwing another incredible festival <3
