CHEETAH with Proto Hustle

Zaren feels most at home at the Disco end of the House, with sets driven by his passion for late-70s/early-80s Disco, infused with House and a smattering of randomness. A relative latecomer to the DJ scene and heavily influenced by DJs such as Hunee, Red Rack’em, Gene Siewing and the Hold Tight crew, Zaren’s sets are rarely downtempo, somewhat eclectic, yet always aimed squarely at those with Disco souls. 2015 saw the launch of the regular “An Evening of Disco” nights in Berlin with his DJ partner Blake Sabbath, with guest appearances from the likes of ducks! and Gene Siewing. 2015 also saw the founding of the Proto Hustle moniker, through which Zaren, alongside Blake Sabbath, aims to build a regular, multi-genre / disco centric music night and regular radio show. Zaren also founded Disco Spektrum in 2017, alongside DJs Brennero, First Touch and Evergrace, as a way to further the Disco scene in Berlin. Disco Spektrum brings together like-minded disco heads once a month at it’s Disco Spektrum Club Night at Crack Bellmer in Berlin.

Blake Sabbath is a Berlin based DJ and along with Zaren is a founding member of Proto Hustle, a collective committed to keeping the spirit of the disco era alive and as relevant as ever. Blake Sabbath’s sets and parties combine the best and rarest of classic Disco, Soul and House. Gathering the strands of decades of dance music into a concise, joyful and inclusive dancefloor experience.
