ZHU (Steven Zhu) is a Chinese-American producer & DJ who burst onto the music scene in the early 2010s, shrouded in anonymity and armed with a collection of melodic house anthems. "Faded," a standout single from this EP, garnered Grammy recognition, a remarkable achievement for an anonymous artist. He delivers on Cercle a set rich with unique vocals and mesmerizing production of sleek, dark aesthetics.

Thnx you bro💝💝💝
most useful comment
still watching it in 2024, this is one of the bests cercles ever
have had this on repeat since the lockdowns, right there with ya
Cercle is hands-down one of the best things to happen to the music industry in history
Indeed. Some MTV level occurrence. Boiler room started it and Cercle perfected the visualisation of DJ sets. Basically they did, what MTV did for pop music, which is the idea that music necessitates a simultaneous and accompanying visual experience to reach its higher potential (not full potential cause who knows what other medium is out there).
seriously.
Right. I love them with all my heart for their people and the Earth beauty from a drone, oh, the music too :)
Thats actually the perfect place to do a gig, because everybody has to dance or they´ll die of hypothermia
lololol :)
lmaoooo
Treu mate was just thinking the same 🤣😂😅🥶🕺💃🥵🙌✌
lmao
Dude! That comment kills like a genocide 🤣
Dear cercle, We all need Rufus Du sol.!! As for zhu..solid set ..unexpected style of a set from him but real nice.
oii check RUFUS Du Sol's page!!! it's your lucky day haha
@@jelinasandiego4752 The one from joshua tree?? have seen the entire thing..directed by alexander George with rose avenue records. very similar to what cercle does but cercle is something else you know :D :D
You have an incredible tastes bro.
they've played the same set for the last 2 years.....just go find one of their videos
@@WillyItsTime hmm..well not really..either ways I luv em. I think they are brilliant artists
Dear God, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving us ZHU.
i was literally just thinking this then i see your comment! lol
@@vashtievedesigns9165 That's too cool. When I first heard his single tracks I was amazed at his originality, then found his set! I like that company name by the way.
amazing! his music is lifechanging
Thank ZHU for giving us ZHU.
agreed
This is the best song, still listening in 2024
Amidst all this chaos in the world this might just be the best thing that happened in 2020
Thanks for saying that bud!
True fact
Agreed!
100% true
The fear is the virus things will turn out to be great for the fearless.
This set heals everything.
@@shemmmusic 💲💲
Dude this set is a go to before work.. as well as during a workout
Except corona, which it probably caused in this crowd
Cheers my friend ✨✨✨
💯კი
I always come back to this one.
Когда отправляешся в путешествие? 😅
Don't understand how the crowd wasn't going absolutely feral at this set I'm geeked everytime I watch it and it's usually from the comfort of my own home
This isn't Thunderdome. Why lose your shit when the music is this good?
hah yess I know what you mean
I'd like to dance with you 😃
That Location is Heaven
And that is the face of God!
George Zounaropoulos pppppp
Hope you guys really and sincerely enjoy this performance.
Sir, how is that possible? are they dead?
Listening to this set while enjoying the snowy Japanese landscape, majestic feel!
I’m 40 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My baby gets active and worships with me every single time I play this. I’m going to play this on repeat in my delivery room, as I could not think of a better time to worship and praise God💓💓💓
Good bless. You baby has all chances to grow up and turn into the cool DJ
Love u bless
You got a lucky baby to have a momma who knows what music is for. Yall gonna be aight in this place..Keep your mind rested, let the blessing flow into you
Holy shit I didn't know ZHU would be leaning more toward the tech/techno sound. What a mix!! Those people there are blessed to be there
Same dude! Im surprised
I definitely felt blessed, best day ever.
omg was thinking the same thing. This guy killed it!
this is his BACKLIZT set. His techno "alter ego".
@Patricia A. Badea meant to say tech house. Sorry, didn't mean to ruffle your feathers geez 🙄
I've watched this so many times, that it feels the people there are no longer strangers.
yeah. me too my friend
What a cool comment 💜
@@fivegkills6111 Thanks friend 💜💜💜
I was there and feature a lot in this so hi :)
Jajajajaja thats right !! , cheers from Queretaro Mexico everybody
I still listen to it and every time I am amazed by the melody!
I got really high and needed some soul comforting music. Zhu is my therapy 🥹💙
The only thing that we need to be at home with this coronavirus lol
HAHAHAH you make my day!
agree
serious quarantine party vibes with this mix
Not a lot of social distancing practiced at that party!
Cuz of the music i even broke my bed jumping on it.
I'm a 64 year old boomer rocker and this is what I need now.
Aw daddy🔥
check out alll cercle shows there all over and in the best places
@@gabrielguevara4263 how do we know where the events are??? I can't find this on their website nor ig
Russ McClay welcome Russ. You’ll love the positive vibes!
And I’m 5.0 and I really like this style of electronic music. We are together. Here I speak from São Paulo, Brazil
ive lost track how many times ive played this! amazing set from zhu
Great musical taste. The selection of tracks is gorgeous. Masterwork of the headliner !!!
This is an epic set, I am on my 35th run loop
I´m only at 17th over here, I´ll get there!
just so good, every time. his Mojave desert set also.
haahhaha same thing here....
These are rookie numbers, you gotta bump those up!
samesamesame
Damn, these people really be standing on a mountainside listening to a live ZHU set. So epic.
Looks like gta irl
Something about this set is just magical. There's such a variety of different soundscapes but it's so seamlessly mixed. I must be on 25+ full plays and it never gets old
I agree! Everytime is like discovering new sounds :O
I just hope to live long enough to see something like this at least once in my life
bro when u start to see aliens transform in front of u , we all gon die :D
Go to Ibiza ES
Im a 105 year old boomer from antarctica and i love this music
I’m only 1 years old but i love this type of music ! I hope i reach your age 🤘
😬😬😬💜
Man I hate that word "boomer".
@@orphanoforbit7588 boomer
I help building the Roman empire back in the days and this type of music is the reason why I am still alive.
Just remember rinsing ZHU - Faded back in 2014!!! Fond memories of simpler times
You can definitely notice an improvement since then Not of life in general, but in his music
At which time they play faded?
HJ D don’t think he plays it in this set which is a shame would’ve been such a throwback
GABE MUSIC OFFICIAL oh yes. That or cocaine model
@@hjd5973 1:11:41
Such a vibe. Bring zhu back for another set please!!
What a phenomenal set! Definitely one of the best deep house sets in terms of range out there!
Petition to eliminate Ads on this kind of stunning videos
Agreed!
Bad idea, how are they suppose to get the money? support the channel!
adblock is ur friend thx me later
USE AdBock NOW or suffer forEVER
Hi, Unfortunately, we can't control the ads, it's up to the rights holders of the tracks played in the set. When we have all the rights, we make sure not to put ads in the middle of a video, as it's just a shame and it ruins the viewing experience and our work. A way around it is to drag the play bar at the end of the video and then hit the replay button you should get rid of the ads.
I would cross every kilometre in the world just to experience the Cercle show. Hope that is not just a dream, will realize it.
ur wish has been granted...
think often about it with always a smile, and and you will be there
You will, brother!
Same man, one day dream going to be reality, good luck to achieve yours
The music...the backdrop...the vibe...the audience....it can't get better!
I enjoy these sets & locations!!!! Keep'em coming! Thanks Cercle
The small group of people dancing on the snow next to the building I salute you!
ZHU just changed the game. Again... This reclusive genius is my favourite electronic artist, and this set just reaffirms the breadth of his creative capacity
Actually, there is nothing creative in this set, I really admire Zhu, I love his deep house and edm style, but this set is like a copy of melodic techno djs, like adriatique, tale of us, etc.
@@alexherrera391 i'm really interested in listening some really deep tech house sets, can you recommend me some really good ones?
@@jennydang7589 just watch other Cercle sets ;)
@@jennydang7589 Listen Hot Since 82
@@alexherrera391 Yup. 100%
Beautiful! I’m so glad I caught Zhu’s set at EDC Vegas in October 2021.
I stopped counting after 10, this must be my most played set of all time thank u ZHU for many mastapiece tracks
ZHU is just straight up legendary. What an incredible artist!
If you havent seen him live.. make it a priority, so amazing
@@jacobsmith831 Just the comment i needed
What a set....this guy should get more credits for his skills!
next 3-5 years.. he will be huge. & if not oh well, his talent will live on
I've listened to this mix more than 10 times, still hits - all the way from Pretoria South Africa 🇿🇦
I always play these with the thought I will leave them in the background and most of the times... I get enchanted by the music and atmosphere so I stay and watch the video instead. ZHU is a beast!
Zhu is a genius, because he understands music. I was not expecting this style out of him, and he owned it!!!!
It is probably the most beautiful set you have ever heard of ZHU, it was just wonderful
Dude, this is the first time i've heard a set from ZHU, but hell i swear this won't be the last one. This sound is absolutely magical. Thanks for this amazing piece of art. Much love from Germany
ZHU is the most complete producer, and also a excelent singer. This guy is my idol
Dear Cercle, Insane. ZHU you’re fucking fabulous! Благодарю за видео репортаж, роскошно оттянулись, были лично там с женой, живьём ощущения экстраординарные! Thanks for sharing Cercle. Kind regards, Life Investor
рад за вас. поделись гайдом как туда попал))
Как же классно!!!!! (:
З - зависть
@@vladimirlitman3202 Благодарю за подробный ответ!
what man u kiddin? I knew about Rufus long time ago but only like 4 songs, but recently i just put the artist in spotify and heard a lot of songs of them and then I saw a Cercle set in Bali (Omnia something like that) and I said like.. man Rufus Du Sol matches with this and i scroll down and see this comment haha. CONNECTED bro.
I was uneducated and jobless for years and my son had cancer, but after listening to this set i found a position as a member of parliament in my country, thanks cercle !!
You would say that
Seeing this from tropical rainforest feeling the delicious warm cold with y'all! 🙌🙌🔥🔥
9M truly means this set is underrated. Its such a masterpiece. You can hear it on loops
i absolutely love that menacing low note that he uses periodically Its the momentum that drives this chain of varying compositions... super cool... dude is a monster
Right?! It gives me War of the Worlds kind of vibes, "menacing" is the right word for it, indeed.
How sick is that? Jamming on the mountains.
Moritz :3 Godlike
Right im so jelly rn 😩
Calm like a bomb ✌😎❤👍
One of the most epic sets ive heard in my life! Pure perfection
I’m on my 30+ repeat
Legendary Set
how do you actually go to events like this? absolute dream
It's super hard, i almost got to go to the one in mexico. They make fb events and they link a website where you can register.
Luck
Right place right time. Right interweb skills. Know the right people. Fucking pure luck i would dare say. I was at this event. It just happened
I found out about the one in NY like 10 minutes before it started and I was devastated 😔
dont see the sense in going there: when there is only one act playing, the loudspeakers are way to low, the crowd ist obviouslys constantly distracted from the music and lots of people just want to be there, to be seen.
I knew only the song Faded from ZHU before, but man this guy has a really good taste in music!
Selection, a huge part of being a DJ. His is fantastic. Pretty young guy too.
Zhu takes me to an another world.. still rocking this killer song in 2022~!
This is the best set that I have ever heard,I swear!
grateful to be alive at a time when this music exists
Love the diversity of sound in this set. I need to see Zhu
James Matthews man love your videos 👍
@@HogiWirjono Thanks bro
It’s worth it! His Red Rocks show was the best concert I’ve seen in my life.
@@Noah-Lach I was at that RR show too, genuinely incredible!
great dj but you should see the show he puts on with his live band
played this so many times that it feels like I was there and that I bumped shoulders with the crowd :)
Fantastic mix. Thank you!
This guy is the coolest looking human being I've seen in my life
Never clicked so fast after a notification. Love ♥
hahahh Same here.
hahaha amen
Same here :)
This is insanely beautiful and heart warming
Goodness what an incredible set! The music (and the crowd lol) made stop what I was doing and just had to get up and dance with you all! I really needed this...
Bro imagine playing a set like this in the mountains........ with HELLA people showing up......... that means your music is good AF..... lol respect to Zhu
Mega lolz bro wooo u right babes!!
Love this set. Nostalgia every time I come back and listen
Definitely one of the best sets I’ve ever heard.
one of my favourites, well played!!
What an amazing set! ZHU has a new fan right here.
One of my favorite Cercle sets! First time I've heard ZHU and he has a sick set! James Matthews is spot on with the sound diversity comment!
Perfect setup & atmosphere for the tracks ZHU is dropping chill AF 🥶 🧊
I’ll say it. This is one of the sickest sets ever heard. Master piece! Takes you on a journey. Well done my friend
the more I listen to this set the more I think he had a stroke of genius in his choices and selections. Bravo
I feel the exact same way. At first i didn't really like the set and i find myself coming back over and over to listen to it but with a different perspective each time. Now THIS is art.
ZHU is by far on of the most talented musical geniuses living on this planet! Thank you @Cercle, you made 2020 great again!
kzhead.info/sun/gcqDoLh-oaSaY40/bejne.html
This is one of the best sets that I've heard in my 32-year life. It's not long but it's enough. The song selection and the mixing between songs is very good.
I was about to write the same. ;)
51:45 perhaps you should take a listen here, before complementing his "mixing," it's the start of a train wreck...the new track is BEHIND the beat...smh🙄
👍👍👍 absolutely!!! ♥ Really LOVE this set. It is currently on my personal TOP favorite hit list - right at the top
being there live was surreal. one of the best days I've ever had!
Cameron Brown how much did u pay im from Egypt and im welling to go one of circle’s or boiler room fa i need what they are planning on next 3 months
Are you sure ? Maybe it was Acid
what did you intake for such an amazing experience? jaja
Lucky you Dude 🙂
@@MohamedMostafa-tq2dt As far as I'm aware they only release the locations a week out from when it happens? i could be wrong though.... but that was the case with this one. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The ticket was $90 Australian dollars.
ZHU's a master love the timing change and transition of the beats......Night or Day
What a beast of a DJ. Not too much of a winter fan, but wow that set is next level. Cercle just never fails with their pics, epic!
It’s amazing,thank you ZHU.
One of the sickest sets I’ve ever seen. Amazing tracks, good crowd, and fucking insane views. Well done
Damn you lucky Japanese lot.. Mesmerizing Hills and Scintillating ZHU.. The creativity In this set is just of the world
What a nice place, amazing music, aawww what a vibe 😍
Amo a México 😍😍😍🇯🇵❤😜
I come back every time I'm out of good music like once a month or so xD
15:45 one of the best transitions I ever heard.. amazing.. I wish I would be on this place where these people are dancing.. and this beautiful sight of the mountains. Just awesome feeling..
ohhhooooof!!!! yeeees!
yes the guitar is beautiful, perfect for those mountain views
Magnifique, comme toujours avec le Cercle!
i just always wanted to watch ZHU playing this in the festivals
just started and already liked it!!! yasssssss lucky me
I decided to hit the Like button in the middle of the set, but it was already pressed. Always happens to me.
Ahaha same, man! I'll be listening to it for 30 minutes, lose myself so far in the playlist and once I realize how damn mesmerizing the editing is, I gotta remind myself to like and then... well your comment comes in
The setting is breathtaking, and even i, a person who doesnt listen to techno/low house, recognize how good this set is. Hands down to ZHU Only wish there would be a high quality video of his sets like edc 2019, or the b2b with tchami. Hope to see ZHU once live somewhere in germany ;)
seen him a couple times and hand down the best live performance dj i have ever see. he puts on such a show, he incorporates vocals and live instruments its just so mesmerizing and well done. you dont even have to appreciate the genre to admire the pure talent and effort put into his shows, highly recommend anyone go if the have the opportunity 🤙 such a breath of fresh air in what can sometimes be a pretty boring and repetitive music scene
He's amazing , saw him at EDC Orlando
"TECHNO" LOL
@@2Skinny what do you call it?
@@hendrikzeke he's playing mostly house. In a broader sense some might call it EDM.
Love it!!!!
so great, in love with this.
This is the most addictive mix I've ever listened to in my life.
ZHU is a Genius. One of the best sets I’ve listened to.
A Pleasure to listen to....Love it...ZHU is always good😌❤🔥👌
I love the interviews after the sets, this is really nice Cercle! thank you very much to Zhu for an amazing Set!
every minute of this set delivers. can't wait to see Zhu live one day 😍
