Originally from Belgium, Sankisha (formerly Zohar’KF) became involved withthe night-life in Lisbon, performing at venues like Nucleo70, Ministerium,Timeout Market, Henry’s Minifest, Gala Cricri, Higher Ground and ArrozEstúdios, where he also worked with the bookings team. He is also one of thefounders of Kasa Gekkō, a collective that originated on the banks of the TejoRiver and organically expanded into a series of sold-out events in Lisbon,Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin. He often plays as a resident DJ forthe collective, showcasing his ability to curate immersive and energeticmoments. He is now based in Barcelona.

Sankisha’s sound is expansive, currently in a blend of speed-garage, house, techno, breaks, and a touch of acid. He is also an avid consumer of dancehall, afro-beatz, grime, amapiano and jazz. The common thread in his sets is his love for rhythms, inspired by the latter genres, and evident in both the pulsating beats and melodic undertones he shares. In 2020, he released an independent experimental EP, Stationary, which encompasses those various influences and focuses on rhythmic sounds.
