Reclaim Your City 684 | Zara

This week’s guest in our podcast series is Australian-born / London-based Zara, a name that’s been making waves in the underground UK techno scene and now graces us with her debut two-hour RYC mix. A versatile juggler of styles and tempi, Zara dishes out a multi-faceted set spanning jagged hi-tech grooves, faux-organic downtempo ambiences and further cross-pollinated dubs from outer space. Never quite limiting herself to straitjacketed protocols, the Kinesis Recordings boss pulls out a wealth of unsuspected moves and maneuvers, blurring the line constantly between club adaptation and non-formulaic musical detours bordering on experimental and leftfield. The result is a mix that hums and throbs like nothing else, a proper sound UFO if you prefer, rebellious by nature and rogue by necessity. Beware, shockwave coming in hot. soundcloud.com/zaraolsen
