In a world often defined by binaries, Zequenx inhabits the spaces in between. Born in Kashmir, raised in Chiang Mai, and now based in Goa, Zainab Wani is a DJ, producer, Ableton Certified Trainer, educator, and community organiser whose work explores the intersections of rave culture, active listening, collective experience, and sonic experimentation.
Their musical output draws from a wide spectrum of influences, reflecting a lifelong immersion in psychedelic and electronic music culture. Releases on labels including Padmini Records, Qilla Records, and Avoidant Records (a sub-label of Soma Records), among others, showcase a sound that resists easy categorisation. Whether navigating ambient textures, hypnotic techno, bass-heavy rhythms, breaks, or psychedelic sound design, Zequenx approaches music as a tool for transformation, creating experiences that invite listeners beyond the familiar landscapes of the mind.
As a DJ, Zequenx is known for versatile and emotionally resonant sets that move fluidly between genres such as electro, techno, breaks, jungle, and double time, to name a few, woven together with a psychedelic energy. Alongside their club-focused performances, they also present live ambient sets that explore slower tempos, immersive atmospheres, and states of introspection. Their performances seek to balance movement and stillness, intensity and tenderness, reflecting a deep curiosity about the many ways sound can shape human experience.
