| Zuk Spins For The Queen City |
| 3/24 by laura |

With the doors of OPM Lounge closed for good, some thought it was no longer possible to get good DJs into the Queen City. But when one door shuts, another opens. A few, in fact. Miss Kitty's and Sub-Zero have taken over the beat scene and are currently working towards two stationary nights, every week in which DJs from all over the country will play for the masses, without worrying about the riff-raff that found their way into the OPM neighborhood.
One DJ in particular, Zuk, is making his way to Buffalo by way of Neitzsche's on Friday and the Trimania on Saturday. Those lucky enough to catch DJ Zuk for both shows will be calmed by his expertly executed mix of Down-tempo and House. The man doesn't pre-mix some old 80's song in hopes that it's still danceable, he relishes in worldly and unambiguous noise. He has had a foundation of musical training since age five and can play complex instruments such as the piano, viola and electric bass which must give way to his ear for correct harmony, subtle transitions and flawless timing.
The ambient techno has some ethnic portions creating an alternative sound to most local DJs who prefer the hip-hop based route. His simple beats are mixed in unusual ways and the end result is not so environment specific but eminiscent of the tempo iteself, a spiritual experience of flashing light and bent chords, notes and darkness. These tunes are more than a break beat, they are sound fuel or as DJ Zuk prefers, "nutritional communications". A few years ago, Zuk became fascinated with the influence of music on healing techniques. After studying deep meditation, Zuk created a series of "sound healing tools" that aide alternative health practitioners. We aren't telling you to take your blind friend or anything, but if you have an ear ache, see what he can do.
