J-ZBEL

Among all the riddles-not-riddles that puzzle the international club scene, this is likely the  most entertaining: what twisted minds could be hiding behind the masks of the infamous J ZBEL trio? For almost a decade, these almighty supervillains have kept the suspense alive  from their Lyon hideout, becoming iconic for their unique, ironic and highly referential  Neuneu sound. Relentlessly revisiting both old-school rave and contemporary hard dance,  the trio simultaneously draws from rugged hardstyle, synth-infused 90s trance, brutal  gabber, futuristic bass, trap and breaks…

Each track, DJ set or live acturns into an instant  classic, masterfully designed to rally any dancefloor behind their cause – much like this  legendary 2019 Boiler Room in Utrecht. Starting in 2015 with a couple of EPs and their  ‘Dog’s Fart Is So Bad The Cat Throws Up’ debut-LP on the disruptive BFDM, the J-ZBEL  misfits recently swapped their rustic-thug outfits for the cowboy costumes, leading to the  ‘Horse Kicks Tree, Farts On Dogs Then Runs Away’ EP published early 2024 on  TodoRecto Rec. and a just-as-epic new live show featuring way too many yeehaws.
