STEV ZAR 
UMAMI

A recent Boiler Room alumni with a fondness for the fast and hard-hitting, Stev Zar weaves worlds when she DJs. Moving with her mood, her sets blend fierce percussion, bass-heavy club, experimental electro, and southside rap with classic acapellas and cinematic scores to create something chaotic and atmospheric (with a cheeky reference or two folded in). The aim is body euphoria. Her goal is to uplift trans bodies and challenge her audience to move beyond genre to connect with the heart of the sound.

Currently based in Naarm, Stev Zar’s resume spans DJing, production, and curation. Her work has led her to perform alongside LSDXOXO, Skin On Skin, UNiiQU3, Leonce, Dinamarca, Tygapaw, Estoc, Junglepussy and the Veronicas, with sets at Laneway Festival, Melbourne Music Week, Redbull Music Festival, Soft Centre, Leaps & Bounds, Rising Music Festival, and guest mixes on Eora’s FBi Radio and Nomad Radio, Aoetearoa’s Friendly Potential, and Triple J. She recently made her Boiler Room debut both performing and co-curating for UMAMI Collective.

Currently based in Narrm, Stev Zar’s spans DJing, production, and co-curation for QTBIPOC collective, UMAMI.
