The Mixtape 8: Anton Zap

The Mixtape 8: Anton Zap

Anton Zap is one of the key figures of Moscow underground house music. He started collecting vinyl at a very young age and began his dj career in the 1990s. He has been a resident at Moscow's Propaganda club for eight years, shaping the tastes of the city's beat-hungry crowd. Zap is one of the most internationally recognised Russian electronic musicians and works with the most influential labels and at the best techno clubs but he rarely talks to journalists and remains an enigmatic figure. The mix he created for The Calvert Journal reflects this sense of mystery: dark, obscure and sophisticated, it's a real refined gem.
