Z@P

Fernando Zapico is a rare combination: a producer who crafts timeless electronic dance music while excelling as a DJ and selector.

His unique appeal stems from his roots in Uruguay, a hub for modern dance music, and his deep connection to club culture since the early 2000s in Montevideo. His affiliation with Phonotheque, where he's a lifelong resident, has further shaped his career.

Z@p stands out by blending conventional dance music with unexpected elements, such as dissonance, acid basslines, and bended vocals, creating a complex journey for listeners. His sets captivate with organic tension and surprising disruptions, urging audiences to dance and think deeply.

Since 2015, he's toured Europe extensively, moving to Berlin in 2018 and Barcelona in 2024. Today, he's a resident of Phonotheque and Cartulis Music, institutions advancing electronic music in the Americas and Europe.

He continues to tour globally while releasing tracks that are highly regarded in the electronic music world, with releases on influential labels like My Own Jupiter, Time Passages, and Cabaret Recordings.
