One Nation Under a Groove

About Me


We are Zzonked the original independent music PR company. We work releases at Radio and Club for all major and (usually more interestingly) independent labels. Over the years we have been involved in the promotion of all the artists listed below and more. We started promoting music when everybody else was swimming in a sea of normality but we at ZZonked knew there was another way and we became a loud minority in the world of promotion, making sure that the world knew there was something more out there. Artists we have promoted include the likes of DJ Shadow, Klaxons, Mos Def, Aphex Twin, Mark Ronson, Hot Chip, New Young Pony Club, Gorillaz, Alphabeat, Lady Sovereign, DJ Yoda, MIA, Virus Syndicate, Gossip, Pendulum, Tayo, Skitz, Roots Manuva, Death From Above 1979, Franz Ferdinand, Mystery Jets, Roll Deep, !!!, Bloc Party, Marc Mac, Arsonists, Co -Flow, X Men, ISP, Kanye West, Plan B, Gnarls Barkley, Vikter Duplaix, Mad Mats, Stephen Malkmus, Metronomy, Tortosie, Strange Fruit Project, J Dilla, The Beatmonstas, DJ Wonder, Greenskeepers, N-Dubz, The Roots, Para One, Pharoahe Monch, Herbert, Andy C, Benga and Coki, Autechre, DMC World Finals, Big Chill, Ninja Tune, Snoop Dogg, Lil Jon, Photek, Dilated Peoples and a whole lot more besides. We started the company way back over 15yrs ago and have stuck to an ethic of working with likeminded people and music who stick principles of quality above all. There are many imitators but we are the true creators*
