From transporting studio monitors via bike to host free parties during Berlin's post covid 2021, open-air-only "clubbing" landscape to building a float in Rave The Planet 2023 & hosting regular nights at Berlin institutions Renate, Kater & Golden Gate - Zapped collective has built a strong culture around their highly danceable, groove-filled minimal sound. With a focus on overall experience, quality sound environments and a strong music policy the party of seven includes DJs, producers, artists and industry professionals - each member bringing their own interpretation of the Zapped sound alongside complimentary skill sets to ensure an ever-evolving offering for the community.

The Collective
Annina
DJ / Producer / Label
Heading up the Zapped Records project, Annina, originally from a small country town in Finland is a track-sourcing weapon. Causing a buzz of chatter in the scene after a string of knock-out performances to packed-out Wintergarten (Sisyphos) Annina has continued to blaze a trail through Berlin and beyond having played at venues such as Hoppetosse and Culture Box just to name a couple. 2024 also sees her entering the world of production with multiple releases set so stay tuned!
Cyko
DJ / Producer / Finance & Event Management / Label
Cyko delivers sets ranging in intensity from delicate groove-focused minimal to soul-shifting techno. Not afraid of the dark, Cyprien, originally from Belgium — has also worked in various operational positions throughout the club and festival scene. As such he is also our head of finance, making sure "the books" balance!
Jack Clark
DJ / Art Director / Label
AKA Cooked Rabbits — Our art director/illustrator, whether he is layering up some paints or slices of wax, Jack Clark loves being creative. Having DJd for years his musical taste ranges from garage into super "swampy" Romanian minimal and with his experience running legally questionable parties in Sydney his influence on Zapped is monumental.
Jonaku
DJ / Producer / Label
Although he had his productions played by the likes of Margaret Dygas, Jonah (originally a small village dweller somewhere in the depths of Germany) is just getting started. A DJ for years now playing shows in multiple EU countries — Jonaku's sound is only getting sweeter. Needless to say this resume suited label work perfectly and with his finger on the pulse Jonaku is heavily involved in running Zapped Records.
Papa K

One of the founders of Zapped Collective he has spun at respected venues including Renate and Christa Kupfer in Berlin and prior to this for some of Australia's finest brands S.A.S.H and Mantra Collective. Releasing for Touch of Loft records Papa K's sound is groove focused minimal and micro house taking influence from all over space and time.
Ujin
DJ / Producer
Purveyor of eclectic rhythms and regular groove dealer — the Tbilisi, Georgia born artist continues to make a name for himself amidst Berlin's thriving musical landscape. When he isn't shaking clubs with his pristine DJ selections Ujin loves spending quality time in the studio, creating sounds and drawing inspiration from 80's and 90's minimal / house records or working with respected industry stables NIGHTNOISE, Black Round Twelve, and Pattern Society.
Scoopsi
DJ / Digital Marketing / Merch
With Canadian born, Berlin based Scoopsi on the select you can expect lush soundscapes driven by divine levels of groove and heavy percussion, underpinned by plentiful badass basslines.
