Few tracks capture the complexity of falling in and out of love quite like “Bittersweet,” the stunning new collaboration from Audien, Shallou and Rosie Darling. Out now via Armada, the track functions as a spiritual successor to Audien’s global hit “One Last Dance.” Just like that aching anthem, “Bittersweet” explores the lingering emotions that make it hard to let go.

Student Success Stories: DJ Zent
27 February 2025 - Grahame Farmer
Manchester’s own DJ Zent is a force to be reckoned with in the world of Drum & Bass. Known for his high-energy sets that take ravers on a full-spectrum journey through the genre, DJ Zent has built a name for himself with a style that’s as versatile as it is electrifying. 
From club nights across the UK, Amsterdam, Cyprus, and Italy, to releases on respected labels like Co-Lab Recordings and Four Corners Music, his dedication to the craft is undeniable.
But DJ Zent’s path hasn’t been a straight line. After leaving behind a high-pressure career in electrical contracting, he went all-in on his passion for music, carving out a space for himself in the scene through relentless work, adaptability, and an unshakable drive. 
His Dreambassuk Records is a testament to his commitment to pushing boundaries in production, with a signature sound that fuses gritty, rolling tech with experimental influences.
In this interview, DJ Zent opens up about his biggest challenges, the mental barriers artists face with social media, and the lessons learned from working with Grahame Farmer’s The Artist Blueprint program. From refining his branding to mastering the game of content creation, he shares how he’s grown—not just as an artist, but as a creative entrepreneur in an ever-evolving industry.
Let’s dive in.


[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1897065705" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

dtdnb · Dj Zent 'Let's Dance' [dtdnb]Grahame Farmer: Hey mate, welcome in! First up, I just have to ask—who are you and what do you do?
DJ Zent: I’m DJ Zent, and I’m a DJ, producer, mix engineer, and mastering engineer.
Grahame: Oh, wicked! Thanks for joining me.
DJ Zent: Yes, this will be fun!
Grahame: It’s been super fun to be on this journey with you so far this year. What was the biggest challenge you were experiencing when you joined the program and started working with us?
DJ Zent: I think it was a lack of knowledge about the back end of the music industry—how to navigate the proper tools like social media and advertising, and how to get more connected with the people who are the backbone of the industry.
Grahame: I feel like you’ve really developed your content this year. And I also feel like you’ve really nailed your consistency as well. Your content is looking great now—it flows really well, it comes across really well, and it’s definitely you.
DJ Zent: Yeah, I think that’s what the course has helped me realise, in a kind of full-circle way. When you first start with social media, you don’t know anything about it—you’re just a consumer. Then you start thinking, I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to do that. But eventually, you realise, I have to do this because everyone else is doing it to get reach.
And then when you fully understand it, you realise you are the content. You just have to unlock that bit of creativity, and as much as you push it, the more results you get. I feel like I’ve found my lane now—I know what I do, I’m comfortable with it, and it’s all going really well.
Grahame: Creativity is a key word here. I’ve always wondered why some musicians, who are creatives, struggle with the creative side of social media. Because for me, if I’m creative in making music and sound, then I should be able to unlock that same creativity for visuals and bring them together.
DJ Zent: I totally agree. I think things like this—what you’re doing—help break down mental barriers. Because as you said, everyone is creative. Even people who say they’re not—like my wife. She always said she wasn’t creative, and now she’s banging drums and we’re producing music together!
I think the real block for people is the fear of being in the public eye and putting themselves out there. It’s scary being in front of the camera, for sure. When I look back at the start, I remember thinking, Oh my God, I have to start saying ‘Hi, I’m Zen, and this is my latest track.’ To now actually doing proper promo—it’s a big jump.
Grahame: Yeah, it jumps so much, doesn’t it? It’s cool to see that growth.
How Did Working With Me Impact You?DJ Zent: It’s nice to have the ability to join calls regularly. I’m not on every single one, but being able to check in keeps me engaged. Plus, talking to different people—even from different genres—you hear different stories, different problems, and different solutions. It’s almost like a music industry news broadcast at times, and it helps keep me inspired.
Another big thing for me is that I’ve stopped getting emotionally affected by social media. Before, I used to see someone playing a massive festival and feel frustrated, but now I don’t get jealous. If that’s my path, my time will come.
At the end of the day, I’m going to see everything from someone busking on the street to someone playing Tomorrowland. If I let every single post cloud my emotions, it would mess with my head. The program has really helped me stay emotionally stable in this rollercoaster of an industry.
Grahame: That’s such a big shift! I feel the same—I treat social media like a game. I step in, play the game, then I step out. And like any game, when I put it down, it’s down. I think being conscious of that is huge.
What Results Have You Seen?DJ Zent: My playlists on Spotify are growing! My Essential and Dream Bass catalogues are taking off, and I never thought I’d be able to get a Dream Bass playlist to gain any following. But now, I’ve had messages from people all over the world saying they’re listening to it, which is amazing.
Grahame: That’s epic! People all over the world listening to your music—it doesn’t get much better than that.
DJ Zent: Yeah, it’s wicked. It’s hard to directly translate that into gigs, but I’ve definitely had more bookings recently. I’m also working with more selective brands, and my gigs have been busier. Plus, my content is much more professional and precise.
Before, I’d waste hours scrolling, wondering, What am I doing? Now, it’s all targeted. I know when to scroll, when to engage with the community, and when to step back.
Grahame: I love that. The time you save can go into making more music, and the content itself is so much more effective. I’ve seen your improvement over the last year, and it’s been amazing to watch.
Any Unexpected Results?DJ Zent: Yeah! I think I touched on it earlier, but the biggest surprise was how much more emotionally stable I’ve become when it comes to social media. I didn’t even realize it was an issue for me before.
I used to get jealous if a friend landed a better gig than me, but now I’ve moved from jealousy to admiration. I can be happy for them and recognize that they’re on their own journey, just like I am.
Grahame: That’s such a game-changer.
What Would You Tell Someone Considering Joining The Program?DJ Zent: I’d tell anyone thinking about joining your course to follow Grahame on YouTube and Instagram, keep tabs on his content, and take in all the free information. You’ll probably end up wanting to dive deeper and book a Discovery Call!
Grahame: Amazing. It’s been great working together this year. Congrats on everything you’ve achieved—I’m so excited to see what’s next for you in the new year. Thanks for joining me today!
DJ Zent: Of course, Grahame! It’s been a pleasure. Onwards and upwards—let’s do this!

After two years away from the scene, Claude VonStroke is back—on his own terms. The Life of Leisure Tour isn’t just a series of club nights; it’s a manifesto. It’s a return to the underground, where the music is raw, the energy is real, and the dancefloor becomes a sanctuary from the chaos of the world.
After selling Dirtybird, the iconic brand he built over 20 years, VonStroke 2.0 is here—playing only where he wants, for those who truly get it. As he puts it:
“This isn’t a status flex, it’s a vacation on the dancefloor. The ravers are the heroes; I’m the guide. Let’s leave the stress behind and live the Life of Leisure together, even if it’s just for a few hours in the club.”

The tour coincides with the release of his new EP, ‘I Was the Wolf’, dropping April 25th. Expect 2000s minimal house vibes, twisted through VonStroke’s unmistakable, quirky-yet-lush production lens.

Adriatic Sound Festival Unveils Phase One of Its 2025 Lineup
27 February 2025 - Shelley Dodds
Europe’s newest premier electronic music festival, Adriatic Sound Festival, is set to make waves with its debut edition in 2025. Taking place on 13th and 14th June in the historic Italian town of Fano, this groundbreaking event will showcase some of the biggest names in electronic music. Phase one of the lineup includes Armand Van Helden, Sven Väth, Stephan Bodzin Live, Nic Fanciulli, Avision, Franky Wah, Mason Collective, Brina Knauss, Green Velvet, and Stella Bossi, with many more to be revealed.
Nestled along Italy’s stunning Adriatic coastline, the festival is expected to welcome over 25,000 visitors across two distinct stages, uniting fans through a shared passion for music, space, and limitless creativity.
A Fusion of History and Innovation
Designed by STUFISH Entertainment Architects, the festival’s layout draws inspiration from classical Roman arenas and coliseums, seamlessly blending ancient influences with cutting-edge innovation. At its heart stands the Infinity Stage—a breathtaking architectural masterpiece that reimagines Roman grandeur through a futuristic lens, paying homage to Fano’s deep-rooted heritage.
Meanwhile, the festival’s second stage, The Hangar, will take over Fano Airport, offering an industrial, underground experience like no other. Set inside three transformed airplane hangars, this raw, immersive space will come alive with state-of-the-art 3D mapping projections, creating an electrifying atmosphere for high-energy performances.
An Unforgettable Week of Music & Culture
Building anticipation for the main event, Adriatic Sound Festival will take over Fano in the week leading up to the festival. Exclusive parties at ancient Roman and Renaissance ruins will offer a once-in-a-lifetime fusion of history and modern beats. Meanwhile, sun-drenched beach gatherings will keep the energy high, ensuring the city is alive with music before the festival even begins.
A Stacked Lineup of Global Icons
The festival’s first wave of artists spans decades and styles, bringing together pioneers and rising stars alike. Sven Väth, a legendary force in techno, will deliver a vinyl-driven masterclass, reaffirming his status as the Emperor of Techno. Grammy-nominated house icon Armand Van Helden, known for timeless anthems like ‘You Don’t Know Me’ and ‘My, My, My’, is set to bring his signature high-energy performance to Italy.
Techno visionary Stephan Bodzin Live will mesmerise audiences with a hypnotic set that blends orchestral grandeur with pulsating electronic textures. Meanwhile, Nic Fanciulli, a key player in shaping Ibiza’s dance scene, will deliver a seamless journey through house and techno, joined by the ever-iconic Green Velvet, whose classics like ‘La La Land’ continue to ignite dancefloors worldwide.
Representing the next wave of electronic talent, Avision will unleash his high-octane brand of techno, while the powerhouse trio Mason Collective—Blair Suarez, Adam Myles, and Omar Guedar—bring their signature energy after commanding some of the world’s biggest stages. Franky Wah, known for his emotionally charged, melody-driven sound, joins the lineup alongside Brina Knauss, who captivates audiences with her refined, atmospheric sets. Completing this phase one reveal, Stella Bossi, a rising star forged in Berlin’s legendary club scene, promises a relentless, high-energy performance that will be one of the festival’s defining moments.
With more artists yet to be announced, Adriatic Sound Festival 2025 is shaping up to be an unmissable celebration of electronic music, history, and innovation.
