DJ ZUZU MINI-INTERVIEW & DECEMBER TOP-7

Q: Hello Dj Zuzu! You've been DJing for some years mostly in Oslo and Berlin, right? How did you start DJing in the first place?
Z: All started when I realized i had a lot of good music i wanted to share. Shortly after playing some gigs in private parties i was invited to RadiOrakel (Oslo) by local musician Center of the Universe, and i also started to play regularily in infamous Spasibar (which later was unfortunately burned down) in downtown Oslo.

Q: What kind of clubs and parties you're ususally doing? Or, I guess you mainly play dance music - Do you get various assignments or stricly club gigs?
Z: Parties might have different concepts and happening in cafes, clubs, fashions shows, for example. There is a lot of music which doesn't necessarily associate to western sense of beats and rhythms, nevertheless it's usually totally dancable. So people usually dance in the events i play, yes.

Q: What inspires you?
Z: Well, I couldn't really say the crowd, they are already drunk when they arrive to the club... I like a diversity of voices, sounds, and representation of subcultures in the recordings i want to share with people. But i dont know if I can call it inspiration. It is certanly not beatmixing or ebaying rare italo 12"s what inspires me.

Q: Where you dig up your music from then, or is it rather a "trade secret"?
Z: No, nothing top secret. I collect music from different places by traveling, searchin the globosphere, markets and private people mainly.. sometimes even recordshops!
