Berlin: FUSION 3: house of Eshu

In Yoruba spiritual traditions as well as its descendant Afro-diasporic faiths like Vodou and Santeria, Eshu is the divine messenger between Gods and Man, the gatekeeper, protector of travelers, guardian of the Crossroads, offering choices and reveals possibilities. Often identified by the number three, and the colours red & black, Eshu represents the balance of nature, Day and night,…See More

My Role
Artist
My Discipline(s)
Music, Visual Arts, Design
About Me And My Work
ambassador of boom bringing heat from around the world: erasing lines, fusing edges, reconnecting all mutations, lost strains, and divided strands of the deeper-than-we-remember roots from which we all come. limits are lies, borders are arbitrary, separation is illusion.

active as dj and sound curator since 2000, Zhao has organized critically acclaimed long running events in the US from Sound Art to Experimental Techno. Starting the Ngoma collective and series of Global Bass parties in Berlin, Zhao's musical projects connect East and West, ancient and future, and has been featured regularly at festivals and clubs around Europe. Equal parts ethno-musicologist and shaker of booties, Zhao brings unique perspectives and vision to every event, and has shared the stage with artists such as Pan Sonic, Rhythm and Sound, Shackleton, Cooly G, etc.
