West African in heritage, Naarm (Melbourne)-based Zjoso has quickly become an essential thread weaving through the city’s musical tapestry.

He is the founder of Tribqu, a platform celebrating underground music and culture. At the helm, he has successfully carved out a distinct role as a DJ, radio host, and curator. His monthly radio program on Skylab has become a cult favorite, while his dance events cultivate a space where music is not driven by a specific genre, but rather by a feeling and an exploration of sound and movement. Tribqu has energized a community movement of like-minded music lovers.

An accomplished and versatile DJ, Zjoso explores his love for soulful music across a broad spectrum. In a relatively short time, he has asserted himself as a prominent figure on Naarm’s clubbing circuit, with a discerning taste that touches on sounds like Street Soul, Dub Reggae, 90s House, Broken Beat, and Detroit Techno. He navigates both dance floors and radio frequencies with perceptive ability and a sharp skill set. The recherché selector’s recognition is evident through invitations to share the stage with the likes of Ron Trent, Glenn Underground, Marcellus Pittman, Errol (Touching Bass), Hagan, Shy One, Bradley Zero (Rhythm Section), Ruby Savage, Steve Spacek, and Dreamcastmoe.

Having toured across Europe, South East Asia and New Zealand, Zjoso has played at parties and venues such as Rhythm Section, Secret Sundaze, Potato Head (Bali), Beam Cube and Friendly Potential. He has also played Australian and UK festivals such as Sun Cycle, Freedom Time, Hopkins Creek, Echo Beach, Strawberry Fields, Mode, Pitch Music and Arts Festival, We Out Here and setting his sights on Golden Plains festival for 2025.

A love for dancing, a passion for discovering and sharing music, and an inherent motivation to bring people together through these forms serve as the foundation for Zjoso’s creative focus. He is a vibrant voice helping to define the shape of Australian dance culture.
