​​​​Founding her first ever imprint whilst based in Manhattan circa 1996, Zhark Recordings self-released debut 12"
"THE PAYBACK" spun its way through the grinding Industry... successfully, giving way to an onslaught of insurmountable vinyl releases for decades to come. ​​Touring globally as DJ and Recording Artist for more than half her life, Rachael has wrought her vast inspirations seamlessly into a lucent tapestry of DIY aesthetic augmented with the most Sinister of Currents. Her extensive output and reknowned fortitude speaks for itself. Multidisciplinary dedication to expression and exploration, Rachael continues to rend and rave - pushing the envelope of both the intangable and the embellished.
​
Internationally knowned for her electronic music productions and record label, Rachael has also made an impact in the field of visual art in the past decade. Co-founder of SINISART Graphic Design, Screenprinting, and Ceramics operation out of Kuopio, Finland - she added to her immense list of talents whilst based there from
2016-2019. Several exhibitions and Actions in the past four years also solidified her presence in the Viennese art world after she relocated back to Vienna after Finland. Always known to push her own limits - the past years during the pandemic saw her start publishing "FEVER CITIZINE", full color zines which are now sold out. More recently she has found herself back at producing music again, planning to integrate that with the new videos she has been working on. Now freshly based in the second studio location - her finely upcycled decor and jewelry creations under the moniker RADAR LOVE are availble through the new SHOP! It goes without saying, with such an impressive history we have alot to present on the new site. Look towards new streaming channels, podcasts and events to come in 2025!
