As a DJ, music curator, collector and radio host, Istanbul’s Zozo has a unique approach to
create and alter musical moods for various occasions with a distinctive yet hard to pin
down sound. She gets her kicks from seeing long-forgotten and criminally
under-appreciated music experiences a new lease of life. Peppering mixes with a vast range
of influences varying from pulsing techno to lysergic oddities and traditional sounds of
her native Turkey, a Zozo gig almost always materializes as a symbiosis of forward-facing
electronics, contemporary dance music and carefully picked gems from the past she grew up on.
Following the motto ‘life is hard but music is good’ from an early age, she has a seasoned
character and deep understanding of the dynamics of the dance floor, with which she
communicates with empathy. That has kept her busy on the weekends and she managed
to bring her versatile taste to iconic dance floors as Panorama Bar, Contact Tokyo, De
School, Ankali Prague, Robert Johnson or Salon des Amateurs. She is also a regular in
high-rated festivals such as Berlin Atonal, Primavera Sound, Waking Life, Lente Kabinet,
Flow Festival, Strange Sounds From Beyond, Dekmantel and its Selectors offshoot to name a few.
Part of the Lyon based label & dj crew Macadam Mambo and resident of Berlin
institution Sameheads, Zozo nowadays operates as a resident DJ and musical advisor for
Tavern Istanbul and crowning her interest in music and art with her multidisciplinary
platform; AFOM INT. (A friend of mine International), that brings together like minded
friends, in different fields such as music, art, design and publishing.
