DJ ZMi

JEANNE BIZARRE

DJ ZMi is much more than a selector; he is a cornerstone of the Berne City music scene with a legacy stretching back to the year 2000. For over two decades, he has navigated the shifting tides of urban music, staying true to a philosophy of "real craft over shortcuts." His sound is an authentic reflection of his journey—rooted in the gritty foundations of old-school rap and the golden era of 90s German hip-hop.

But ZMi’s musical identity isn't confined to a single lane. His crates are deep, housing everything from the soulful pulse of 70s disco and classic R&B to the sophisticated, filtered grooves of French Touch. This broad spectrum of influences allows him to read a room with the intuition only twenty years behind the decks can provide. Whether he is laying down a smooth house groove or a heavy hip-hop set, his transitions are seamless and his selection is always intentional.

Touch the Sky

My key moment was seeing High Contrast live, which sparked my love for drum & bass. Five years later, after countless DnB festivals in London, Croatia, and Sardinia, I felt it was time to dedicate my first track to the scene. Along the way, I met so many great people at these events, which made the journey even more meaningful.
