Meta Zen

Meta Zen - Take Some (Meta Zen Live) by Meta Zen

Riding on the success of placing top 3 for Glitch.fm's "Gliitch EP" remix contest, Meta Zen has been gaining momentum as an artist, performer, and DJ.  As a result, his hit track, "Countdown" will be released on Substruk records shortly and will be available on major online music retailer sits. Meta Zen's improvisational live remixing, scratching, and robotic dance moves create a unique and interactive live show known to mesmerize and inspire the audience to dance to his 'psychedelectronic' sound. Meta Zen recently was asked to play a guest spot on Glitch.fm's 50th Basstream radio show.  He played a full Live improvisational set on Basstream Radio; creating live remixes while mixing all of his own music -as well as modulating effects parameters live. The honor of playing this guest spot  has been bestowed to accomplished psychedelic bass musicians that are on the cutting edge of music production (such as Bird of Prey, Seventh Swami, Splatinum, etc

Mauricio Zuniga (Meta Zen / FractAlien) was born in Costa Rica and has been rocking dance floors and dropping the ill chill out for 14 years. He started to DJ in Philadelphia in 1996 while at the University of Pennsylvania and now resides in Miami, FL. Mauricio owned and built the psychedelic record shop, ChaosExistence.com. For 6 years, Chaos Existence was responsible for bringing some of the best psychedelic electronic music to the Pacific Northwest as well as shipping it around the world.

Mauricio's projects draw from a well of diverse sounds and influences include classical Indian, psy-trance, trip-hop, breaks, d&b, progressive, hip-hop, dubstep, glitch hop, and ambient. Mauricio likes to weave together unique soundscapes composed of his own music blended with fitting samples and selected tracks from other artists topped with a touch of live scratching. He has played with and often opened for world class talent such as Tipper, the Disco Biscuits, Hallucinogen, Younger Brother, Eat Static, Infected Mushroom, Jim Hopkins of Electroliners, Shulman, Bluetech, Hive, Bill Bless and many others. Mauricio is also known for his collaborative live improvisational electronic music sets and projects with The Disco Biscuits and the Obscure Project. He toured for a short period with the Disco Biscuits in 2000, rocking festivals and concerts in venues such as the Roxy, the Wetlands, and many more as they explored and innovated through new electronic and jam band sounds.

Mauricio is producing under the name Meta Zen- preparing to release a full album soon.
