Bryan Zentz

From playing in bands and being surrounded by a strong musical family, Bryan Zentz has a rich musical background which definitely comes out in his productions. Early on, he developed a love for hip-hop and house music, and later became influenced by other forms of electronic music. Bryan first made his name in the dance music scene as Barada (a name taken from a Star Wars character) on Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva's legendary Definitive label with now classic releases like "Medicine Drum" and "Glue". After putting out singles on labels such as EXperimental, Bush, and Clashbackk, to name a few, he released a full- length album called "Strategies for a Deeper Design". Bryan (who also performs under the moniker Stare 5) is known for his intense live sets and continues to put out quality releases on labels such as OM Records, Gourmet Recordings, and Soma.
