The Nightday EP is the offering from elusive LA artist, producer and vocalist ZHU, who over the past few weeks with his track ‘Faded’ has taken the iTunes charts, radio waves and audiences worldwide by storm with his debut release The Nightday EP. In just 3 weeks on Australian radio, ‘Faded’ flew into the Aria Top 10 Singles chart. And was addedAcros The Board at Triple + across Nova Nationally + 2Day FM, Fox, B105, SAFM, 92.9FM, NXFM, 104.7FM, SeaFM & Star FM.
While little is yet known about the artist, his music has reached far and wide. First single 'Faded' ascended to #1 in the Australian single and Triple J charts where it stayed for several weeks, was picked up by Mistajam, Pete Tong and Phil & Alice among others on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, while on the other side of the Atlantic The Nightday EP went straight to #3 in the iTunes dance album charts.
The video for 'Faded' is the first visual transmission of ZHU's slinky late-night aesthetic and fascination with dancefloor reveling and enchantment. Directed and edited by ZHU himself to resemble a memory of a night in Paris. The video was filmed in the Montemarte districts' subterranean Social Club in Paris, employing tones of smoky black and white to striking effect.
Filled with cascading liquid synths, propulsive beats and slinky vocals hooks, The Nightday EP introduces the unbridled creativity and enticing allure at the core of ZHU's craft. Drawing from a range of genres from house to disco to garage to hip-hop and soul, coupled with his distinctly captivating voice, ZHU spins these elements into a potent concoction entirely of his own, perhaps best summed up by his self-penned moniker for the genre
