ZenOne is a U.S.-based DJ and producer whose roots run back to the Los Angeles underground of the late ’80s — clubs, warehouse parties, desert gatherings and radio. Today his sound sits between hypnotic techno, trance and psytrance: rolling low end, long-form tension and sets built to keep a room moving forward. Recent highlights include the official Gareth Emery x LSR/CITY Cyberpunk Tour afterparty at August Hall in San Francisco, a pre-sunrise set at Lotus Moon Gathering 2025 and recurring nights at Dead Ringer Analog Bar.

ZenOne is a DJ and producer whose roots run back to the Los Angeles underground of the late 1980s. He started spinning there — moving between clubs, warehouse parties and the desert gatherings that grew out of them, and later carrying the same records onto radio. That early apprenticeship — long nights, unpredictable rooms, no safety net — still shapes the way he reads a floor.

His current work sits at the meeting point of hypnotic techno, trance and psytrance. The sets are built around rolling low end and long-form tension: phrases that stretch, small changes that accumulate, and a sense of forward motion that rarely resets. He plays for peak-time and late-night floors, where a room can be taken somewhere over an hour rather than jolted every four minutes.

Recent performances include the official Gareth Emery x LSR/CITY Cyberpunk Tour afterparty at August Hall in San Francisco, where he opened the night, a pre-sunrise set at Lotus Moon Gathering 2025, and recurring nights at Dead Ringer Analog Bar. He also plays regularly around the Tahoe basin with the Tahoe Techno Collective.

ZenOne releases his own music through ZenOne Soundcraft, a self-released catalog that runs from slower hypnotic pieces to peak-time material. He performs digital DJ sets of 60 to 180 minutes and takes domestic and international bookings.
