GRAMMY nominated producer ZHU disclosed his ‘Neon City’ debut U.S. headlining tour for this spring, full list of dates below. The tour was revealed on ZHU’s SoundCloud, a recorded prank call with an unsuspecting ticket scalping fan was released, and the phantom artist drove fans to his website NeonCityTour.com. The week-long countdown hit zero and revealed the 18-city tour dubbed, Neon City. He will be touring with fellow Mind of a Genius act
Gallant.
The New York Times hailed ZHU as, “one
of the most musically sophisticated of the current generation of dance
music producers.” While according to the L.A. Times, ZHU builds on the “coherent and racy energy that should make him a
favorite at festivals.”
The
tour promises brand new production for the genre-defying celebration of
the arts. Set to a complimentary feature-length film, ZHU combines
electronic sounds with live instrumentation into a captivating and
unique experience. Weaving dance party vibes with world class
performances alongside esteemed musicians. Building the futuristic Neon City stages adds another
dimension to the sonic and visual production.
Addiotionally, during Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show on
Apple Music earlier today, ZHU premiered “In
The Morning” for the first time. Lowe previously declared 2016 to be a big year for the
artist. The song’s official video is out now – check it out below, and all DSPs will follow at midnight tonight HERE.
This is ZHU’s first original production of 2016, and first since his
critically acclaimed Genesis Series just last October. The Genesis
Series is available for download and stream
worldwide, and has received critical praise from the likes of Rolling
Stone Magazine, Pitchfork, The FADER, COMPLEX Magazine, Zane Lowe’s
Beats1, Radio 1’s Annie Mac and Pete Tong.
ZHU’s current single “Working For It”,
featuring Skrillex and THEY., has done exceptionally well and has accumulated over 16 Million worldwide
Spotify streams. “Working For It” is part of
ZHU’s Genesis Series, which featured a stellar cast of
collaborators including AlunaGeorge, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Daniel Johns,
A-Trak, Gallant and many more.
