  Hailing from Peckham via Leeds, Bradley Zero has steadily become the taste-maker of his generation. As founder of the Rhythm Section institution, Bradley has carved out a unique role for himself within the vibrant London scene as Resident Club DJ, Mentor, Broadcaster, venue owner and Label Boss of one of the most exciting imprints today – Rhythm Section International. Having started the Rhythm Section radio show back in 2009, the broadcast naturally translated into a fortnightly dance in 2012at Canavan’s Peckham Pool Club, which quickly became a firm fixture in the London Clubbing scene. Resident Advisor and Dummy described it as ”A party which, in spite of its modest means and ambitions, has been something of an epiphany for me, and for plenty of others too” and “some of the best music in London” respectively. This pioneering work in building the foundations for club culture in Peckham did not go unnoticed and soon Bradley was enlisted as a core programmer and host of the Boiler Room in 2012, when the platform was still in it’s infancy. During the early days of the show, Bradley helped shape Boiler Room into the world conquering institution that it is today, helping steer it in a multitude of musical directions to shine light on the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, Mood Hut, Beautiful Swimmers, Jan Schulte, Nils Frahm, Jay Daniel and countless other underground heroes whose music had yet to reach a wider audience. In 2014, Bradley’s ears fell upon Al Dobson Jr‘s finely crafted grooves. This led to release of Rye Lane Vol. 1 and the creation his record label Rhythm Section INTL, providing a platform for local and imported musical produce. As 2014 became 2015, RS INTL was nominated for ‘label of the year’ at Gilles Peterson’s worldwide awards and it was around this time that Bradley moved away from regular duties at the BR office in order to devote more time to the ever growing Rhythm Section operation, both at home and on a global scale. The last ten years have seen Rhythm Section INTL release some of the most vital records n electronic music and beyond , helping kick start the careers of AL Dobson Jr, Wallace, Chaos in the CBD and many more along the way. A mainstay on NTS since the stations foundation, Bradley holds down a key slot on the widely influential station and has also simultaneously held 2 residencies on BBC Radio 1. As a dj, Bradley holds down residences in London ( Rhythm Section ) , NYC ( public records) & Ibiza ( circoloco) and tours the globe regularly. From humble beginnings as a resident DJ, Bradley has risen through the ranks making him just as comfortable on the festival main stage as he is in the back room warmup slot. During the pandemic - where many stopped , Bradley doubled down, gaining an MBA and setting up a mentorship scheme, “Future Proof” which is now a nationwide platform funded by the Arts Council with the aim of preparing the next generation of music industry professionals for lasting success. Last but not least, in 2022 Bradley co-founded hi-fi bar & performance space Jumbi in Peckham which has quickly become a South London institution and hub for creativity in the city. Given all the above , many ask “ how does he do it ?” In little over 10 years , Bradley, known affectionate as BZ , has built a small global empire from modest means. The answer is simple : passion, perseverance and people. With a great team, a love for the culture and consistent hard work, BZ is just getting started.
