Music for love, music for life, music to empower. It was Summer 2020. In the desert town of Ibiza near the old market, the Italian dj and producer RSDJ was drinking and relaxing in a little bar, and the German artist Zwette was doing the same at a table nearby. They were the only two customers at that noon hour; getting to know each other was inevitable and talking about music even more so. RSDJ started talking about a new song he was working on with Mr Bacon and invited Zwette to listen to it. Intrigued by the African sounds giving him good vibes, Zwette discovered “Malaika”, one of the most famous Swahili love songs written by Adam Salim (1945), covered in different languages and by international artists like Miriam Makeba & Harry Belafonte (1965) e Boney M (1981).

EGO is proud to present a unique project promoting a mission of solidarity and love, created by RSDJ and Zwette and benefiting nonprofit organization Malaika.org. Music connects the world and has the power to change it. A percentage of all proceeds from the remix of “Malaika” will be donated to the foundation with the aim to support future activities for education, unity, and empowerment. The song is about a poor man who wishes to marry his beloved “Angel" but is defeated by the bride price.

BIO -►

His sets and style are characterized by fine grooves, charming melodies and catchy vocals. He mixes together fresh club sounds with never forgotten classic pieces - a catchy style that makes the crowds want to get movin’ on the dance floor! Everyone who has been lucky to listen to him knows what we are talking about. His fine taste for music, paired with a good hand for the mixing technique, make his sets truly remarkable and recognizable. Zwette is blessed with that special talent to pick the right record at the right moment. Just what the party crowds want! And he rocks the clubs over and over again with his fresh sounds. His gig at the Sonne Mond und Sterne Wintercircus 2002 festival and a resident job at the recently opened OGS Club in Jena, Eastern Germany, served as springboard for his career. He is receiving a large number of booking requests from central German clubs and event organizers. As one of the outcomes he has supported prominent greats such as TokTok, Elektrochemie LK, The Discoboys, Lexy & K-Paul, Horny United, Milk & Sugar and many more. In 2004, he performed at the Camp Music in the Motopark Oschersleben and, in the same year, he landed his biggest gig so far at the legendary Sonne Mond Sterne festival at the Bleilochtalsperre Saalburg! In the following years, he played in many hip clubs in Germany and abroad. He dedicated himself more and more to the quieter sounds, not only at the tables but also in his role as a producer just starting out. At the beginning of 2013, he chose a relatively unknown song for a remix/edit that he came across by chance listening to the radio in his car. When he produced this remix (actually, just for fun) and for himself based on Tom Odell’s song  “Another Love”, no one would have thought this would turn out to be a worldwide hit! Maybe for coincidence and with a little bit of luck was he able to make it all the way to the top when the trendy You Tube channel’s “The Sound You Need“ attention was drawn to the edit which was then placed on their page. The number of clicks onto Zwette’s Soundcloud and the TSYN page rapidly rose – indication enough that something big was waiting in the wings. Very soon several million people had listened to the song, and Zwette became more and more known. As of December 2014 the song boasted with the proud figure 63 million clicks on the TSYN alone! This success won him many interesting booking and remix requests from all over the world. Zwette played gigs Dubai, Portugal, Ireland, France, Italy, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland. He performed as a guest at many festivals in Germany and abroad, such as Panoramas, Boom, SonneMondSterne, Rock’n’Heim, Sputnik Springbreak and many more. However, 2014 was not only his year of success as a DJ but also as a producer with remixes for greats such as Klangkarussell, Ayla, Bipolar Sunshine, Alle Farben, Kelvin Jones, Milk & Sugar, Jake Isaac, Dawid Podsiadlo among many others. His first own single “Rush” will be out in February 2015 at the Spinnin‘ Deep label!
