However, it’s hard to find a better example of a show being enhanced by its venue than when ZHU took the stage on May 5, the second night of his six-part “DREAMROCKS” concert series at Red Rocks. Known on stage only as ZHU, the mysterious producer has garnered a devout following in the EDM world for his brand of the genre. His music often prioritizes alluringly spacey synths to generate an eerie atmosphere that burns slowly throughout his records, rather than the fast-paced build-ups and exciting drops that have become prevalent in more mainstream EDM acts. ZHU’s despondent chord progressions and airy, falsetto-like lyrical delivery give his music a dark edge while remaining entirely danceable — for a non-EDM comparison, think The Weekend. That carefully curated musical persona was fittingly put on full display from the moment ZHU took the stage at the otherworldly venue.
