Zero T
Irish scene stalwart with decades of label history, bridging soulful warmth, technical rollers and no-frills dancefloor credibility.
Artist Guide
Zero T, formerly Zero Tolerance, is one of those producers whose reputation sits in consistency rather than flash. Coming out of Dublin and a long history with labels such as CIA, Dispatch, The North Quarter and others, he has built a catalog that serious drum and bass listeners tend to trust. The second-round booking gives LOCUS another artist with real depth but a very usable festival surface.
His best lane is flexible: soulful but not soft, gritty but not joyless, technical without needing to prove every bar. That makes Zero T a strong programming tool because he can work around liquid names, deeper rollers or more direct club pressure. He is the kind of artist who helps a lineup breathe without losing its shape.
At LOCUS, Zero T should be a dependable set for people who want proper rolling drum and bass rather than a giant novelty moment. For the trip dashboard, he belongs in the should-not-skip tier because these are often the sets that become better in memory than they looked on the poster.
