Bern Bass Podcast 87 - Z-Groove (June 2022) by Bern Bass Podcast published on 2022-05-31T20:17:56Z Growing up in the Aargau region in the central part of Switzerland, Segi aka Z-Groove got his first taste of rhythms and groove by learning to play drums at a very young age. As a teenager he started to practice on the 1210 vinyl turntables playing and scratching Hip Hop, before diving deep into the electronic music scene via Techno, Trance and Detroit in the later 90s. After visiting the local Motion Festival in 1997, Z-Groove was hooked on Drum&Bass and hasn’t looked back. In 2008 he went to a live concert of famous Swiss (Jungle) drummer Jojo Meier and that’s where he met fellow DJ Muck from JUR Records, a label-, recordshop- and DJ collective from Aarau. Z-Groove was offered a DJ-membership after handing in a demo-mixtape much to the conviction of labelhead Sasha Semtex, with whom he has been working closely ever since. Segi loves the big basslines and irresistible groove of Drum&Bass, but has a weak spot for all things athmospheric and epic, too. If he likes a track, he’ll play it, no matter what! Z-Groove has played at a variety of venues and events throughout Switzerland, a few highlights being Streetparade in Zürich in 2010, Greenfield Open Air and the legendary but sadly defunct Lost in Nature-Festival - we hope to catch him playing out much more often.
