ZHANGYE unveils ‘China EDM, Vol. 1’ compilation on Cyanhill Music: Listen
Advocating the Chinese dance music industry in the most immersive of manners, ZHANGYE has unveiled a compilation for the ages, entitled ‘China EDM, Vol. 1.’ “When I visited the producers whose submissions were selected, I saw some making music in their bedrooms, and others persisting in their passion despite difficult circumstances. At that moment, I knew we were on the right track,” ZHANGYE says
Leading the way in the promotion of Chinese electronic dance music, ZHANGYE has unveiled a scintillating compilation in the form of ‘China EDM, Vol. 1,’ where each featured act has been granted with the golden opportunity of further advocating their immense musical capabilities, and in turn, bless us all with a body of work for the ages. Taking upon himself to showcase the world with the genius mind(s) that grace the Chinese dance music scene, ZHANGYE was inspired by the endless possibilities that derive within our community, and with the industry evolving on the constant, there could not be any better time for this project to come to life.
Combining experience with the hunger to succeed, ‘China EDM, Vol. 1’ features one track each from already established Chinese dance music acts; BEAUZ, CORSAK , Panta.Q, and WILLIM, with the remaining tracks on the compilation selected through an open call for submissions, where the now featured acts were chosen from hundreds of entries. A rigorous process to say the least, ZHANGYE continues to pave his way amongst the elite acts of the dance scene, and when taking into account endeavours of such nature, it is fair to say that his love and passion towards dance music extends way further than on a personal level, when in fact, he has set out to become the advocate for Chinese dance music and its development as time progresses.
