Relocated to Berlin a couple years ago from New York, Carly Zeng is a Chinese-born DJ and an all round creative. While studying Design and Photography in the US, her taste for new experiences lead her to exchanges in Europe - it was in Rome where she attended a DIY electronic music event, which inspired the foundations of her musical values today. Back in New York she started collecting and mixing records, and throwing warehouse parties in Brooklyn, creating immersive experiences with visual mapping, prime soundsystem and an open minded crowd.
In just two years she’s showcased her varied and impressive record collection on platforms from the US (RA+RE, Honey Soundsystem) to Europe (Libertine, The Mudd Show, Opia). Since her move she\'s been on the hunt for records across Europe (Germany, Belgium, Italy...) and effortlessly shares some of her finds for this mix. She exhibits her quirky and edgy style with an 80s, New Beat and EBM theme, as well as taking inspiration from her previous gig at Superluminal & Discarded Gems x Satelliet Studio @ Crack Bellmer, Berlin. It’s fun, it’s fierce, it’s everything you’d want from the 80s.
If you\'ve heard her previous sets you\'d notice her craft for storytelling: \"I enjoy uptempo, high energy sets and a nice buildup.\" She then confesses, \"so I’m kind of a BPM junkie - I try to label a lot of my records so I can arrange them in certain parts of a set quickly.\"
