Prague Zouk Marathon 2026

Petter has his background in music from an early age, playing multiple instruments and dedicating around 10 years to playing in bands and creating music. In the beginning of 2013, Petter started with Brazilian Zouk and a new passion exploded inside him. Through the years, until today, Petter has been a very active, hardworking zouk enthusiast helping to build the Zouk Oslo Norway scene, and traveling around the world, multiple times, to learn more about zouk. His passion has grown alot, and Petter has been a regular dancer and DJ to see/meet around in Europe's zouk scene. The most importent to him, is "to feel the dance and to feel the music". He focuses on a great variety of music during his DJ sets, and mostly original songs without to much crazy effects and added beats. As a DJ, he wants to bring everyone on a journey through the language of zouk and music, and bring the dancers closer to each other. He always try to create a magical atmosphere, and represent every style, mixed in with both new and old styles of zouk music. As a dancer, he focuses on clear leading, bringing trust and comfort to his partner, and enjoying together the music with flow, dynamique and musicality. Being connected through the pillars of the zouk dance language is always his favourite thing to do. DJing has been a natural evolution from being a experienced musician, and no matter if Petter teach, dance, DJ he always says he want to contribute to an unique and special energy, that only zoukers can create together. Petter loves the Prague Zouk Marathons and love being apart of the events every season, every year. Lets enjoy together soon. Zouk and love, from DJ Viking.

My first encounters with DJing were actually in high school. We had these partys, mainly organized by the students, where we would sleep over at the school and party through the night. It fascinated me back then, so I somehow got involved. I cannot even properly remember how exactly I managed to get there, but somehow I made myself learn some basics and ended up playing…

Then, after school, I wasn't really pursuing this craft any further, apart from mixing songs for dance shows, until a few years back, when I decided that I would like to start playing at our local Zouk events in Vienna/Austria and kind of rediscovered my passion for it.

Generally I enjoy playing a lot of flowy music with some deep bass and things with tribal elements, but usually I will try to go through different kinds of moods and energy levels to not have the music be too stagnant.

I really love when the music can resonate with the state of mind the people are in and have them fall deeper and deeper into flow along the way.

For HUSHZ being a DJ is basically something he arrived at after patiently building this craft from many elements.

His will to live is driven by musical phrases which helped him with his main occupation as a classical music double bass player or obtaining musical degree. Obviously, that was not enough, so he also explored territories of composing and producing music from scratch using both physical instruments as well as digital modelling. On that field he also released two albums of zouk remixes and one album including tracks he composed and produced completely on his own.

Breathing music for most of his life made him fall in love with a wide variety of different genres. Years of listening, studying and making music gave him a deep understanding of emotional messages stated in songs which he appreciates very deeply to share with dancers he plays for.

Hundreds of performances he gave as a DJ and professional musician helped him develop the ability to read the audience at practically an instinctive level. It also taught him unquestionable professionalism and dedication. He never finds any issues with adapting to events he performs at, from cosy small meetings to full blown zouk congresses.

Also, as an active member of the zouk community he enjoys any non-musical contact with potential audiences greatly. This is mainly because he feels constant gratitude for having a chance to share music he loves with others.
