Zhu, now that we know who he is, when will we get to see him?

Zhu, if you don't know, hit the scene running in 2014 with his massive club hit Faded which got him a Grammy nomination, not a bad start  for someone that was new to the scene that year.

Zhu for the first part of 2014 Zhu remained anonymous and asked to be judged only by the music he produced. He is no longer anonymous and Stephen Zhu is producing some really good, sexy deep house. His EP, The Nightday,  is a sexy work of six songs that include his famous Faded song. The thing is though there is not a bad song on the EP, they all drip with sexiness, synths, and the deep voice that we crave from a hot and sweaty dance floor. Take a look at the videos below, which he has use video from the New York Fashion show to make some sexy videos for his music too. 

 The EP is dripping with  sexy synths, silky vocals by Zhu, and grabbing from multiple genres; house, disco, hip-hop. You can see the range that Zhu is working with and how diverse the electronic scene can be when sampling from multiple genres to develop a sound that is unique, it's hard find anything to criticize from his first EP. The only thing we can say is that we wish there was more, instead of the six songs that leave you wanting much more.  

The future for this young artist is looking very bright, and with him doing his first shows in Europe it will only be a matter of time that he finds his way to the states, especially with how deep house as a genres has exploded. If you would like to hear more check out below his guest mix from Pete Tong's radio show on BBC Radio 1. Also check out under that the song that started his career a remix of Outkast.

If you happened to not notice or care that Eric Prydz and Deadmau5 played together back in November well here I am telling you, it happened and you missed it. There isn't even a decent track on soundcloud of the affair. You can listen to the set over what sounds like someone used their phone to record it, but you will take what you can get when you talk about putting two of the biggest names in electronic music together, below is a link to the set, one for Soundcloud and one for Youtube, also a track listing.

Now that Deadmau5 has reemerged and will be doing some shows and has been teasing a new tour on Youtube, it is probably safe to say we will be seeing some new music coming out from Deadmau5. Just last night Deadmau5, in his typical release in the middle of the night fashion, released new music which seems to be a collaboration between Kaskade and himself. Deadmau5 seems to be back with his signature cerebral sound and dark lyrics that draw a crowd into his dark rabbit hole and into one of dance musics best shows. The mau5 has also been working on other collaboration and the bits and pieces on his Soundcloud sound amazing. Check out what seems to be his only song on the account here. 

The mau5 seems to be heading for a tour in the fall of 2015 and a good festival tour schedule where you can catch him in Austin for both ACL weekends, and lets all hope he does another after show like he did last time he came to town. Make sure to also check out his Soundcloud and listen to the other tracks he has been working on, there will be a lot of new stuff headed our way soon.
