Q&A

Q&A: The Zenmenn

Get ready for a sonic journey with The Zenmenn, the cool duo will be bringing their genre-bending vibes to Beat Hotel at The Standard, Ibiza, on 27 September.
With a sound that's somewhere between your favorite vinyl collection and a cosmic meditation session, these guys are all about mixing jazz, soft rock, and mellow beats to create something totally unique. We caught up with them ahead of their set on the Ibiza rooftop UP to chat about their influences, creative quirks, and what they've got in store for this one-of-a-kind gig.


First things first, what are you drinking?

Not really drinking much, but when I do I prefer tequila drinks or whiskey on the rocks. I’m not to be trusted with recipes.

 

Seat at the bar or a quiet table in the corner?

I’m a table guy, but I also like to stand around and look confused.


Who’s playing in your ideal hotel bar (live or DJ)?

Ideally the Hotel bar has a white grand piano, potentially with some Liberacesque ornamentation. I’d enjoy Richard Clayderman doing easy digestible classical pieces sprinkled with some Hollywood flourishes, or Brian Culbertson playing from the great slimy book of smooth jazz. 


Do you ever strike up a conversation with strangers?

Yes. I love to engage in a superficial chat here and there.


You can invite 3 people, dead or alive, to join you for a drink. Who’s it going to be?

John Wood, Rebekah and Johnny Ryan. 


What’s your preferred bar snack?

Generally bar snacks are a bit dangerous for me, my hand just guides itself towards the salty stuff especially if I’m intoxicated. But I can definitely get behind a little bowl of fancy olives.


What would be your opening track for a late night hotel room gathering?

Heaven sent by Stanley Clarke
