ZOHKI
Grown up in the heart of the West German Ruhr area, it was Hip-Hop that brought Zohki and his former brother-in-crime together in the nineties and led them to house music few years after. It didn’t take them long to gain international reputation. It was Matthias Tanzmann who first discovered their potential and gave them a platform on his stellar Moon Harbour label. The rest is history: From their high-flying „One Way Out“ debut EP with kick-start support from the likes of DJ Sneak and Radio Slave, following club strikes via their Leipzig moon base, Romania’s Natural Rhythm and Steve Lawler’s VIVa Music imprint alongside worldwide VIVa showcases and a residency for the VIVa Warriors Ibiza season 2014, to the duos break-up on behalf of their solo plans. While homeboy Roozlee fully returns to Hip-Hop, Zohki continues their strong house legacy.
On a solo tip since 2015, dj-wise he returns to his first love - vinyl - aroused by his first purchased record by Armand van Helden. He deliberately calms down, takes things deeper instead of pushing too hard, building up his very own music studio and giving his sound a more personal touch.
With gigs at Sonar festival, Amsterdam Dance Event, various Berlin hotspots such as Sisyphos, Watergate or Katerblau, Kiesgrube in Neuss and a residency at one of West Germany’s most renowned clubs - Studio in Essen - his plan bears fruit. But his residency is far more than just spreading house vibes on a constant level and playing next to the world’s best DJs. It’s also home to his very own event series ’Deep In You’ that welcomes artists like Shonky, Subb-an or Point G.
First solo production on labels such as Moon Harbour, Get Physical, Oblack and Monza Ibiza leave no doubt: Zohki goes deep, deep In you! His course is set: Around the world, to the moon and back!

Late October will see the release of Zohki’s ‘Colos sal’ EP on Hector Couto’s Roush label, accompanied by remixes from Ninetoes and Max Chapman. Essen, Germany born producer Zohki’s career has tak en a steady climb over the past three years with release s and remixes for Moon Harbour, ViVa Music, Kling Klong a nd Highgrade, here we see the fledgling artist join th e roster of Hector Couto’s Roush imprint with some new material . Roush has been likewise been on the rise over the p ast three years having unleashed material from the like s of Darius Syrossian, Montel, Julien Sandre and Josh Bu tler, making Zohki’s music a perfect fit for the blossomi ng label. Kicking off the EP is percussive groove-led number employing swinging rhythms, chugging bass sequences and swirling vocal chops, Mobilee / Moodmusic artist Ni netoes then reworks the original number with a dub-infused twist, laying the focus on raw drums and gritty stabs and jangling percussion lines. Opening the latter half of the package is the secon d original from Zohki entitled ‘Zechen’, which focused on a de eper feel with bright chord stabs, snaking sub bass hooks and bumpy drums. Max Chapman reworks ‘Zechen’ to follow and reshapes the original into a heads down, hypnotic n umber with an unfaltering and ever-unfolding groove. Last ly to shape up the package Zohki teams up with Ortis on ‘ GTFO’ closing the package on a dark tip with menacing voc als, glitched out synth whirrs and weighty drums. Zohki’s ‘Colossal’ EP is out on Roush 26 th October 2015.
