Zequenx (Circuit Mixer)
In a world defined by stark dichotomies, Zequenx is the embodiment of the grey area, striving to integrate non-duality into electronic music. Born in Kashmir, raised in Chiang Mai, and now based in Goa, Zainab Wani draws from her diverse cultural background to offer a distinct perspective on the art of rave. Having deep roots in psychedelic and rave culture, her music draws from, and combines various schools of thought. This makes it difficult to define, forever existing in the quantum realm of infinite possibilities.
She wears many hats – DJ, music producer, Ableton Certified Trainer – but above all, she is a passionate raver. Whether she’s dishing out dancefloor heaters through her DJ sets or weaving her personal blend of emotive ambient productions with her live sets, Zequenx has one goal: to create a journey that allows the listener to step outside of the mundane musings of their mind and traverse through uncharted sonic dimensions. Whether it’s acid, electro, various forms of techno or experimental music, she dives in head first to deliver an immersive experience for her fellow listeners.
As an Ableton Certified Trainer, Zequenx has spent the past 6 years mastering the intricacies of music production and is passionate about sharing her knowledge with like-minded individuals. She has organised numerous workshops focusing on DJing and music production as a means to provide access and create space for FLINTA artists along with offering one-on-one training sessions for aspiring musicians.
Her singles have been released on homegrown labels like Qilla Records, Antariksh Records, Boxout.fm Recordings, Digital Diaspora Records, FOL Records and international imprints like Avoidant Records (a sub-label of SOMA records) and Reel Long Overdub from the UK. Zequenx has performed at festivals like DGTL in Amsterdam, Celtronic in UK, Magnetic Fields Festival, VH1 Supersonic, Boxout Weekender, Hilltop Festival & Far Out Left in India.
