Jungist is Hong Kong born, Eora/Sydney based DJ, producer and promoter. Her selections are broad, yet maintain a broody, grittiness. Often setting the scene with cinematic soundscapes, noise and ambience; Jungist finds a way to bring it back to dark drum and bass and body shaking rhythms. Jungist is inspired by urban life, the queer community, sound system culture and resistance movements. Artists she admires include Autechre, ZULI, Lee Gamble, Christoph de Babylon, Azu Tiwaline and Pessimist.

Jungist has shared a lineup with international artists including Air Max 97’, Loefah, Mad Zach, and Keeno. She has been featured on independent radio including FBi, Nomad, Skid Row and Orbital radio. She enjoys DJing in club, warehouse and doof settings as well as taking the time to craft mixes for radio and internet mix series. Jungist currently hosts the All Nighter on FBi radio as part of presenter training.

Jungist is co-founder of events and mix series, Decay Audio. Born out of a passion and thirst for a darker sound, the Decay weekly mix series showcases talent from around the world, offering artists a platform to experiment and break away from convention. Decay have put on two parties in the last three months. The last event at The Bridge Hotel in Rozelle was a marathon 14-hour rave which sold over 700 tickets and featured over 20 artists curated by Jungist across two rooms and an outdoor space with surprise guests Loefah & Patrice to close. The event was selected as RA pick. Jungist is currently working on exciting projects with Decay including a Noods Radio residency as well as a sit-down performance at award-winning venue, Phoenix Central Park.

Jungist released her debut track ‘Dark Room’ on Eora based label; Bass Water Freak Out and has a handful of self-released tracks on soundcloud. Her productions are spaced out dubby and range from downtempo dub to lofty drum and bass.

Outside of music Zoe works full-time at a not-for-profit in the mental health space, organising mental health training for health professionals across Australia.

With her events, Zoe aims to create safe and inclusive spaces and to systematically radicalise nightlife diversity and combat ageism, tokenism and sexism through diverse and sincere programming that reflects the wider community.
