Inflicted Kaos: Hardstyle
Zachary started Djing in early 2004 when he bought a set of turntables from a good friend. Teaching himself how to Dj, he quickly (and sadly) switched to digital due to MP3s/Wav files being cheaper. Playing mainly for himself and his family in 2007, he donned the name “InflictedKaos” and went to his first rave. Quickly finding out how much he loved Hard dance, he stopped messing around with old records and took to Rawstyle. In 2009, he had his first son and stopped raving all together. However, he never stopped Djing. Widening his range of the harder genres, such as Uk Hardcore and Euphoric Hardstyle, he found himself back in the scene in 2017. Going to Paradiso, he quickly remembered how much he loved the old days of smaller shows. Playing his first Seattle show at the world-renowned club The Underground, he quickly realized how much he loved performing for people. Playing many smaller shows at bars and fairgrounds in Kitsap and Tacoma, Zachary, under the name InflictedKaos, is ready for what the future holds!
