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
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.
Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten, An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen, Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen, Er will uns Stuf´ um Stufe heben, weiten. Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen; Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise, Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen. High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm, cleaving to none as to a home, the world of spirit wishes not to fetter us but raise us higher, step by step. Scarce in some safe accustomed sphere of life have we establish a house, then we grow lax; only he who is ready to journey forth can throw old habits off. (Hermann Hesse)
