Dieter Comos also know as Dj zenfrancisco likes to play tracks from the four cardinal directions.
While closely connected to the ecstatic and conscious dance scene, he had his most intense dance epiphany at a gathering of an American jazz shaman trained by Kalahari Bushmen. The devotion to the source of all creative rhythm he experienced there, is something which he’s trying to convey in each of his sets ever since. Feel the heat and jump into a very special sound bath that slowly turns into a high-intensity workout. |
