Azadi: ZAINAB, Aku, DJ Guari
About This Event
Public Records hosts an Azadi bill featuring ZAINAB, Aku, and DJ Guari. ZAINAB, who curates the ongoing Azadi series, works with structured, patient pacing and clean transitions. Aku favors long, rhythm-forward arcs and restraint, while DJ Guari draws on moombahton and neoperreo with percussion-led tempo control, a lineup that privileges clarity and steady movement over peak-driven gestures.
