ZHU, the deep house luminary that, until 2014, kept his identity under lock and key, still maintains his signature air of mystery through his sonic approach. The latest example of this is his new remix, a reimagining of Italian techno duo Mathame‘s “Never Give Up.” “Never Give Up (ZHU Remix)” is a pulsing, dreamlike, mystical, and utterly transporting take on the original track.
The remix, released on July 31, is the latest in a recent string of remakes of “Never Give Up” including renderings by the likes of Diplo and Lost Frequencies. ZHU’s “Never Give Up” comes on the heels of the release of “Desire,” a new single and interactive video collaboration with Bob Moses, and ZHU flip’s of Tinashe and Ms. Banks’ “Die a Little Bit,” also released in July.
