Read the DJ 0zone Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I am DJ 0zone. Many will think I am just a DJ but I'm more than what you see, I use this platform to step out, connect, and make a movement and effect on pop culture. In reality I am just your average teen, school, chores, the whole show. Primarily I am a DJ, favorably in Trap music and I make mixes. You can find me on Mixcloud, and currently you can catch my playlist mix series called "Season 17 Playlist Series". It's a monthly mix release of specific genres, bringing people of all taste of music and dance as one. I've been mixing and creating for 4 years and the evolution of the DJ scene has made big shifts. I mix trap music with influences from headliners like DJ Snake, Carnage & Skrillex. My biggest current influence comes from Owsla records and it's signed artist. That, following jungle terror and hard trap, I'm always on the search for the next biggest hit. Aside from the music, I aspire to step up as a trend setter, more like a voice for those who need one. My instagram is flooded with a variety of pop culture trends and styles of my taste. I wouldn't say I just make or create music, more like innovate and promote styles and ideas. I proudly use my social media as a platform to make these messages, in this world now the smallest voice is the key to the biggest impacts. This is me.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I started back in 2013, being inspired by the under rated Jersey DJ know as DJ AlbieG, and immediately I began to get an interest in the EDM scene. With Ultra topping headlines and EDC making its social awakening, I felt drawing to this culture and I knew this lifestyle was meant for me. As many take an approach to "rave to the grave" every weekend, I was immediatly interested in the technics. Seeing the DJ enjoy the atmosphere, I craved that experience and I set my life to that goal. Through the years my taste in music has greatly expanded and has opened my life to more creativity and styles. I found myself mashing up idea's and styles to something I never knew I could do. One of my best influences was the Jack U movement. The mastermind of Skrillex and Diplo, two champions of dance music, putting their all together to make a culture everyone has always craved, now that was amazing. During this, Owsla and Mad Decent started to pioneer a new path of rave culture and single-handedly changed the face of both EDM and Trap music. Currently these innovations have shaped me to who I am today. My taste has actually changed dramaticly. I now find myself going from Trap and Dubstep to currently creeping to R&B and Hiphop and there are great new things yet to come.
What´s new right now?
Currently you can stream my newest mix via Mixcloud called "The October Mix", a mix of trap essentials bringing us into the current fall season. My highlight mix called "Trap Mix 2016" was formerly rated #1 Worldwide on Trap Mix charts via Mixcloud and has set the style that I currently influence. Coming soon I have a new project, a seasonal mix, Fall Mix 2017 and Winter Mix 2017 dropping in the next few weeks on Mixcloud. Stay connected to my socials for more updates and info for those!
