The Dutch producer links up with Zeds Ded on final single ahead of genre-bending new EP ‘PARADISE’
Rising bass producer IMANU has released ‘RUSH’, the final single from his new EP ‘PARADISE’. The atmospheric single is a collaboration with Canadian duo Zeds Dead, featuring cascading synths and tender vocals from rising Australian talent KUČKA, and is an enticing last glimpse of the ‘PARADISE’ EP, set for release next Friday 20th October alongside a release party at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) at the iconic Melkweg.
Continuing to push the boundaries of the bass scene, the 8-track EP also includes recent single ‘Aching (On A High)’, a hard-hitting rave weapon featuring Lia. Other tracks show off IMANU’s stylistic range, crossing genres from the grungy, brutalist synth soundscape of ‘Dream Sequence’ to the blistering drums and haunting melodies of ‘Of Two Minds’ with Rhode.
Hosted by electronic music events ADE and co-promoted by Curated by, the PARADISE release event will showcase an exciting new generation of talent on the bass scene: London-based SICARIA, Dutch drum & bass producer Buunshin, singer-songwriter LaMeduza, Toulouse-based collective Visages, hotly tipped French producer The Caracal Project and festival favourites The Glitch Mob, all playing diverse multi-tempo, genre-hopping sets. Leading a “legion of hungry, contrarian music producers” in the words of edm.com, IMANU has gathered an all-star cast for a night of bass-heavy PARADISE.
Rising to the spotlight at the age of just 16 under his former alias, Signal, with his brutalist style of music, IMANU has developed his presence on the scene as one of the greats. Now in his 20s, he’s already had releases on significant labels such as Deadbeats, UKF and VISION, released his debut EP UNFOLD on Deadbeats in 2022, and has over 9.5 million streams on Spotify alone. His remixes for the likes of Apashe, TOKiMONSTA and What So Not & Skrillex have gained over 3.6 million Spotify streams, and he has also collaborated with the likes of Noisia, Pham and josh pan.
One of the most successful independent electronic acts of the past decade, Zeds Dead is a pioneering duo hailed as “trailblazers of the modern North American bass scene” (DJ Mag). Formed in 2009 in Toronto, Canada, by producers/DJs Dylan “DC” Mamid and Zachary “Hooks” Rapp-Rovan, the duo has garnered hundreds of millions of cross-platform streams, dozens of Top 20 Billboard hits and multiple JUNO Award nominations.
Via their tastemaker Deadbeats Records, Zeds Dead are cultivating the future wave of groundbreaking electronic music and next-gen artists. Officially launched in February 2016, Deadbeats is today one of the leading, fastest-growing independent labels in dance music, counting more than 150 releases across its genre-blurring discography. Recognized as a “critical label for uncovering the next generation of bass stars” (DJ Mag), the imprint has helped discover and develop emerging artists like DNMO, PEEKABOO, Subtronics, ZEKEBEATS, 1788-L and many others.
With IMANU on an unstoppable rise, with the help of Zeds Dead, ‘RUSH’ continues to build anticipation for the release of one of the most exciting projects of the year.
