Zarbizarre

Zarbizarre is the solo production alias and stage name of American electronic music producer, DJ, and audio engineer Alan Linhart. Originating from the United States (primarily active out of Florida and Georgia), Zarbizarre became a influential figure in the mid-2000s Breakbeat, Nu Skool Breaks, and Drum & Bass communities. He is best known as the founder and primary driving force behind the renowned breakbeat outfit Cereal Killaz, which he formed in Orlando in 2005 alongside K. Crooks. The project gained widespread international recognition when BBC Radio 1 icon Annie Nightingale highlighted them as key movers and shakers in the global breakbeat scene.

As a solo producer and under his Zarbizarre moniker, he earned acclaim for tracks like “Peyote” (featuring 3PM) and “Geometrix” (featuring Ragga Twins & DJ Fugi), releasing music across labels such as Scrape Recordings, Mechanoise Records, and Trans:verse Records. Beyond studio productions, Zarbizarre championed heavy bass music as a radio host—running the weekly electronic music show FreQuency on WHHD—and established a cult reputation among breaks enthusiasts for his expansive, marathon DJ mixes (such as his legendary 8-hour breaks set).
