Up Next: Introducing Zedd

Profiling Germany's young prog house hero, who plays June 20 at THUMP presents Up Next.

Hopefully, you RSVPed to THUMP presents Up Next, our June 20 event in NYC featuring DJ sets by Zedd, Duke Dumont and TOKiMONSTA, plus a whole bunch of crazy one-of-a-kind fireworks set off by the Samsung Galaxy S 4. And now… introducing Zedd.

German wunderkind Zedd provides the massive with a signature brand of genre-crossing dubstep, progressive and electro-house. At a mere 23 years old, Zedd (real name Anton Zaslavski) has burst onto the scene with smash hits like the progressive gems "Spectrum," the hard-hitting "Shave It Up," and, of course, "Clarity," off the album of the same name (which just reached gold status). Zedd has become known and revered for providing high-energy sets that are diverse enough for anyone to enjoy. With releases on Skrillex's OWSLA imprint and a debut album on Interscope, Zedd has made a name for himself as a top-notch producer and festival favorite, holding down sets at Ultra and Coachella and residencies at top clubs throughout the world. This summer, you can catch Zedd at Hard Summer, Creamfields, and Global Gathering plus our event on Thursday (duh).
