About

ZHU @ Roundhouse - Thursday 2nd April 2026 Beyond being a DJ and producer, many fans associate electronic music artist ZHU (Steven Zhu) with being a live performer, singer and instrumentalist. He delivers indelible live shows and sets using his keen production ability, voice, sleek synth melodies, billowing basslines, and undeniable hooks to create a hypnotic experience that is all-at-once sultry and sinister. His latest project BLACK MIDAS accompanies his nightlife warehouse concept BLACKLIZT, creating an album of compelling dancefloor tracks ZHU first made his presence known to mainstream music fans when his 2014 single “Faded” was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 2015 GRAMMY® Awards. His 2016 genre-blurring debut album GENERATIONWHY followed, with the hit single “In The Morning.” ZHU continued to evolve with subsequent projects, tours and collaborations including his releases RINGOS DESERT (2018), DREAMLAND 2021 (2021), Musical Chairs Mixtape (Vol. 1) (2022), and THE DAYS BEFORE GRACE EP (2023). For his last 2024 album and tour GRACE he also produced the “making of…” documentary, 24 Hours of Grace, recorded in San Francisco’s grand Grace Cathedral. For BLACK MIDAS, ZHU returns to his roots and transports listeners into a different world by creating tracks around late night narratives through sounds, emotions, words and energy. The productions range from deep house to melodic techno and feature collaborations with an array of underground and emerging artists.
