ZEN2

ZEN2 got his start in Wichita, KS with a signature blend of breakbeat infested jungle and hip hop in 2000. Soon he had several club residencies under his belt along with numerous underground events and house parties.

In 2002, he was invited to perform at the Wichita Center for the Arts where he broke new ground by rescoring classic silent cinema with a pair of turntables and a stack of wax. The performance received widespread critic acclaim and was later broadcast on PBS. The Arts Center turned ZEN2's intended one-off into a series of concerts that continues to this day.

ZEN2 now resides in Richmond, VA where he is a resident at Konkrete Jungle VA and continues to put out hard dubplates and mixes in many styles, most notably jungle, hip hop, and reggae.

My name is Eric Marhefka or RESIN. I first got into the turntable thing because of a long admiration for hip-hop production. In 97', I was introduced to breakbeats through friends' cd and tape collections which quickly led to the purchase of my first jungle records.

Spent some time playing gigs at BOUNCE, VINYL, and Party at the Park in Tidewater, VA. Mark hooked me up at NUCO's Information Technology night for my 1st bookings in Richmond. I ran with the CAMP ZERO Crew at Bogart's back room for a few years and developed my own sound. Katalyst and myself had the opportunity to open the night for John B @ SAUCE, along with Mark and Will Miles. I've also done Donny's night RENDER, some misc. warehouse parties, house parties, and countless nights in basement venues like Europa and Red Zero. Check out my fall studio mix, and watch for the Winter mix coming soon...
