ZAPATEKNO

about

ZAPATEKNO (born Boréas Isaias Orozco) is a DJ, producer, and label scout based in Jalisco, Mexico. Known early in his life by the nickname Zappy due to his high energy and rhythmic tendencies, Orozco began engaging with the underground music scene in Guadalajara during his secondary education. While working in the service industry to fund his initial equipment purchases, he gained access to local performance spaces where he developed a reputation for his charismatic stage presence and eclectic mixing style. His musical style is a hybrid of several genres, primarily rooted in the electronic tradition. Orozco cites Latin rhythms, reggaeton, and hip hop as his early foundational influences, though his mature work is defined by the structural precision of techno. This blend of high energy syncopation and steady electronic pulses led to the adoption of the stage name ZAPATEKNO. Orozco is a founding figure within the Torta Ahogada Records collective alongside the producer Homosquito. Beyond his output as a recording artist, he serves as a primary talent scout for the label, utilizing his connections within the Jalisco underground to recruit new performers. His discography is noted for its focus on the intersection of regional cultural identity and modern electronic dance music.
