Chris ("Zenbi") Porter

Marketing entrepreneur turned globe-trotting DJ and chart-topping producer, Zenbi has quickly emerged as one of the hottest names in Washington DC's flourishing international tech- and tribal-house scene. Zenbi, translated as "Good & Beautiful" in Japanese, has become a nearly two decade long "overnight success" - with a recent string of Top 10 Beatport Genre releases to his credit.

Zenbi started spinning vinyl in the mid 90's in Philadelphia - being heavily influenced by the music culture pioneered by local legends Josh Wink and King Britt. The sound of Zenbi today has matured to incorporate an infectious blend of sexy tribal and tech house grooves that are increasingly putting him in high-demand. Zenbi's releases have received support from an ever-increasing list of talented producers including Danny Tenaglia, David Herrero, Mark Knight, Erick Morillo, Dr. Kucho, Paolo Mojo, Dubfire, Wally Lopez, Scumfrog, Paco Osuna, David Penn, Satoshi Tomiie, Roger Sanchez, Marco Carola, and many, many more.

Zenbi has packed crowds from Boston to Budapest, Miami to Los Angeles, and performed at major dance music festivals including BPM, Miami Music Week, Winter Music Conference, and ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) to name a few. After traveling the world, Zenbi settled down and quickly found inspiration and success in his current home city, Washington DC.

In 2011, Zenbi proudly accepted a residency at Washington DC's most prestigious venue, LIMA LOUNGE, voted by Club Planet as the #17 club in the USA and #1 in the DC area. For this new endeavor, Zenbi has teamed with long-time resident and global superstar Saeed Younan to launch TEKA, a new weekly Friday night concept that will showcase the internationally-acclaimed artists currently signed on Zenbi Recordings and Younan Music.

As the owner and label manager of Zenbi Recordings, Zenbi is focused on producing, signing, and distributing tech- and tribal-house music. Artists signed to the Zenbi Recordings roster include Sydney Blu, Uner, Sabb, Saeed Younan, Supernova, Anthony Attalla, John Creamer, Stephane K, Dr. Kucho, Ron Costa, Chuck Love, Daniel Dubb, Sideburn & Redondo, Chuck Love, and Craig Pettigrew.
