Born Steven Zhu, the San Francisco-based electronic music producer and singer-songwriter burst onto the electronic scene in 2014, dropping “Moves Like Ms. Jackson”, a captivating and enigmatic remix of Outkast’s classic hit. The following year, ZHU would drop “Faded”, an instant sensation that would earn him a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in 2015.

Cultivating a unique sound that seamlessly blends elements of house, techno and R&B into a mesmerising sonic tapestry, ZHU has gathered collabs with industry heavyweights including Skrillex, Tame Impala and Aluna George, producing tracks that defy genre conventions and challenge the status quo. Now, after several months of teasing ZHU has finally blessed fans with his highly anticipated 4th album, “GRACE”. Enigmatically recorded inside San Francisco’s The Grace Cathedral, the project boats a motley crew of collaborators including Sabrina Claudio, UPSAHL, Emotional Oranges and more.

A standout track from the project, “Settle For Less”, sees ZHU and Sabrina pair up to deliver a slow burning cut that imbues Sabrina’s ethereal vocals on top of a minimal, layered production. As the track unfolds, ZHU delivers a warehouse-ready track which allows his own vocals to sparkle as we enter the second verse. Throughout the project, deep, pulsing basslines combine with ethereal vocals and intricate layers of high production to create an immersive listening experience. From the infectious grooves of “The Gate ft. Zero 9:36” to the paired-back allure of “Bleed ft. Joy., Andy Caldwell, Satellite Mode, Birds of Mind(Master)”, each of ZHU’s enigmatic creations invite listeners into a rich journey of immersive and elaborate compositions.
