Achat
About the concept:
Here is the one hundred and eleventh instalment of our series “abc plays xyz”.
The idea behind it is to ask some DJs/mixing artists if they have an artist or label in mind that they love and would like to use for a mix.
So the approach of each mix is clear: the choosen DJ/mixing artist makes a selection of tracks produced by one artist (and her/his monikers. or released on a label (and its sublabels. and creates a nice mix from it.
Find links to all instalments at our overview. Today we present you Achat’ mix of stuff produced by Znzl.
About Achat:
Achat is a DJ and producer based in Berlin.
Due to his urban origins in Frankfurt and Stuttgart, he has been influenced by the city life and has therefore quickly become enthusiastic about technical and electronic music and the respective scene.
Since his father also had a successful career as a DJ at a young age, he quickly developed a taste for his own sound production and compositions.
Over the years he evolved a unique experimental sound, evoked through dark percussions, wild Hi-Hats and diverse arrangements, inspired by brute industrial techno and Berlin Breakbeat Parties.
About Znzl:
Producer and familiar with turntables since his early teenage years, Znzl took inspiration from many genres to forge his techno.
Insatiable and eternally unsatisfied, he is always looking for new paths, creating a unique vibe, be it in intimistic venues or big warehouses. In a constant connection with the people, one will often see him jumping behind the decks, taking them on a journey from dark shamanic soundscapes to blissful moments of happiness.
Willing to help the others, he created and curated Level 32 podcasts pushing new talents to the front of the scene. He also took part in the creation and development of labels such as Wrongnotes, Messe Noire until he funded Demian Records with NN and Soundness Properties.
With a third EP released early 2020, the imprint intends to lay the fondations of a new genre, at the crossroads of cinematic and industrial techno. One of the field of expression of Znzl, whose productions had been in the line of sight of Ancient Methods, I Hate Models, Perc, Tommy Four Seven, to name only a few.

Achat About His Choice:
I decided to play French Artist Znzl in this ABC plays XYZ Episode, since he takes much inspiration out of his work and thinks that this guy is massively underrated.
Also, after receiving tips on mixing and sounddesign by Znzl, Achat wanted to give something back with this Set.
