Zerb

Hailing from São Paolo, Brazil, DJ Zerb established himself rapidly in house music by delivering high-energy performances across his native country. His profile expanded further through a string of memorable tropical house productions that placed him alongside prominent dance acts of the period.

Trained as a multi-instrumentalist, Matheus Zerbini Massa immersed himself in electronic music while still a teenager. Early influences included progressive house figures such as Skrillex and Deadmau5. His initial breakthrough occurred through a collaboration with fellow Brazilian remixer Vintage Culture on a version of ZHU’s “Faded.” The resulting attention secured larger bookings, among them appearances at Lollapalooza Brazil in 2016 and Rock in Rio in 2017.

After completing a marketing degree at the University of São Paolo in 2019 while continuing to develop his sound, Zerb shifted primary focus to original material. European breakthrough arrived in 2023 with “Mwaki,” a track centered on vocals by Kenyan singer Sofiya Nzau. Subsequent remixes of his work have come from Tiësto, Major Lazer, Duke Dumont, and others.
