their own biography
the whole biography
When Carly Zeng DJs, it’s highly unlikely she’ll do the same thing twice. Chinese-born and now Berlin-based, she has formed quite the community in her chosen city through her party, Dissident, which fosters a nurturing approach to music discovery. Her long love affair with vinyl-focused digging is no secret. And the ripple effects of such veracious collecting can be heard in the way she weaves together the many genres that she likes–be it a trippy tribal or prog track with a weird structure or an off-kilter sound effect in a punchy house tune – she’s forever on the lookout for tracks with that little extra spice. Carly’s entry point into dance music in NYC, led her into smaller parties, DIY spaces and warehouse raves and the community spirit she found there is something she still carries with her today. A known name within Berlin’s queer music scene, she is regularly billed at parties such as Cocktail D’Amore and Body Language. Whether as a DJ, community organizer or dancer on the floor, Carly is staunchly attentive to her role within the dance music ecosystem and how to best curate a warming experience for everyone involved.

the whole biography
eoin dj, based in Berlin via stints in London, Glasgow and Dublin but hailing from the west of Ireland has been quietly djing, running parties and making music for a hot minute. Their own dancefloor productions have slowly emerged into the ether via smaller outings on various releases, most notably their collaborations with Byron Yeates and their contributions to the iconic Radiant Records IWD compilations. 2023 saw the release of Fantasi, eoin dj’s debut EP on the infamous Planet Euphorique, swiftly followed by their Total Body EP at the beginning of 2024, fittingly housed on Radiant Records. The releases have thus far turned heads and hips alike. The eoin dj rave experience draws from all hues of the dance music spectrum- sensual house jams, psychedelic techno, rolling progressive whatevers and understated breaks numbers are all up in the mix alongside dreamy ukg, pumping acid, sub heavy dub freak outs and all the cuts in between. Their selections are underscored by emotive, colourful, moods resulting in emotive, colourful moments on the dancefloor. Currently holding down residencies at Club Are and Joyride in London (the latter running bi-monthly at Corsica Studios), over the course of the past year eoin dj has played at Berlin institutions like La Noche, Dissident, Fandango and Hypersoft, along with outings further afield at Left Bank in Tbilisi, Macadam in Nantes, Hors Sol in Paris, Radion in Amsterdam and numerous appearances at London’s notorious venue MOT. 2024 will see a third release enter the cosmos and lots of exciting dates around europe and the uk lined up to boot.
