Watch out; the biggest names in EDM are on notice as ZHU takes aim with his latest “Nightcrawler.” After teasing fans with a funeral procession for the likes of The Chainsmokers, marshmello, and Zedd, the proficient producer drops his dark house monster justifying his claim for the top spot in electronic music.

His first piece of new music since last Summer’s Generationwhy goes in from the start with menacing synths, unsettling vocal modulations, and a relentless rhythm. It only gets better from there as the tempo twists and turns while ZHU lays down some cocksure verses in his signature fashion.

Calling out A-list acts is always risky, but this brash beatmaker backs it up and then some. Stream below:
