Steven Zhu‘s bringing some promising electro talent out of LA/San Francisco. He already showcases a genuinely polished and versatile sound in his Original Mixes at a fairly young age. You’ll see what I mean when you listen to the tracks below — he goes from gritty basslines and wobs in “Accusations” to a relaxed trance sound in “Making Amends.” It seems like he’s still working to find his general niche, but whatever he hones in on seems like it’ll be good. He’s got a knack for quality Progressive House in his remixes as well. I personally prefer the glitchy electro but I guess that’s my personal preference in general. I’d love to hear what he can do with some vocal samples thrown onto his original tracks as well as remixing some lesser known songs. For now, peep some of his work below and keep an eye out!
