ZHU at Ayu Dayclub

ZHU holds a coveted Las Vegas residency at Ayu Dayclub, one of the most prestigious dayclubs on the Las Vegas Strip. Known for delivering unforgettable deep house / electronic sets, ZHU's performances at Ayu Dayclub have become a must-see experience for anyone visiting Vegas.

ZHU typically performs on weekend daytime pool parties (Friday through Sunday during season), drawing massive crowds of EDM fans and nightlife enthusiasts. The pool party atmosphere at Ayu Dayclub creates the perfect setting for ZHU's signature sound, with cabanas, VIP daybeds, and world-class poolside production.

As a resident artist, ZHU performs multiple dates throughout the year at Ayu Dayclub. Each show features a unique setlist and production elements that make every night different. Whether you're a longtime fan or experiencing ZHU live for the first time, a night at Ayu Dayclubis an experience you won't forget.

Steven Zhu, performing as ZHU, is a Chinese-American DJ, producer, and singer-songwriter who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and holds a degree from the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music, where he studied formal composition and music theory alongside the self-directed synthesis and production work that shaped his electronic sound. His formal training at one of the United States' most rigorous music conservatories is audible in the harmonic sophistication of his productions — chord movements and melodic development that behave more like contemporary composition than the static loop architecture common in commercial house music, applied to house and R&B production with a structural ambition that separates his catalog from most electronic artists operating in the deep house genre. He began releasing music anonymously in early 2014 under the ZHU name, asking listeners to judge the music without knowledge of the artist's identity, background, or visual presentation — a deliberate inversion of the personal brand-first strategy that characterizes most electronic music marketing. His debut single Faded, released April 2014, was an immediate international commercial and critical phenomenon: the track topped the UK Dance Chart, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in 2015, and brought deep house's nocturnal aesthetic to mainstream attention during the genre's pivotal emergence in the US market. The Grammy nomination represented an exceptional trajectory for an initially anonymous unsigned artist on his first release, placing him in competition for an award that typically requires years of catalog and industry relationship building. The anonymity that characterized his debut became a recurring artistic strategy: ZHU has maintained a minimalist visual presence across his career, communicating through music and performance rather than personal narration. His five studio albums — from the GENERATIONWHY EP (2014) through RINGOS DESERT (2016), Dreamland (2018), GRACE (2021), and BLACK MIDAS (2026, released April 24) — trace a decade of consistent aesthetic evolution that deepens his cinematic house and R&B hybrid sound without abandoning the anonymous atmospheric identity established by Faded. The feature of his single Came for the Low in Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier brought his music into a new cultural context, and his collaborative work with Skrillex and They. on Working for It demonstrated his range beyond solo production. His residency at Zouk Nightclub and Ayu Dayclub at Resorts World Las Vegas aligns with venues whose physical design and programming philosophy support the kind of late-night atmospheric house sets his catalog generates.
