Zapatilla's tracks are characterised by his warm yet mournful vocals and a dizzying array of instrumentation. With one foot firmly in the world of electronica, it's his adventures into the solemn world of lo-fi indie that make him truly unique.

His debut releases have been championed by Benji B, Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, John Kennedy, George Fitzgerald, Laurent Garnier, Kölsch and Pete Tong alongside Mixmag 'New Artists' and 'Big Tunes' features as well as live appearances at All Points East, Lost Village, The Great Escape, Test Pressing, Kendal Calling and Blue Dot amongst others.
