ZHU, the multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated producer and artist, is set to unveil a bold reimagining of his breakout single with “Faded (Blacklizt Version) (HNTR Remix)”, dropping Friday, June 27 via broke. Arriving alongside a hypnotic visualiser, the release offers a powerful fusion of deep techno, progressive house, and cinematic darkness—ushering the track into a new era of underground resonance.
Eleven years after the original “Faded” shook the world of electronic music, this fresh remix by HNTR delivers a relentless update tailor-made for late-night dance floors and warehouse raves. The Toronto-based producer injects shadowy textures and pulsating energy, building a dystopian atmosphere that’s already earned nods from major tastemakers including John Summit, Dom Dolla, Anyma, BIJOU, and Danny Avila, who’ve teased the remix in recent high-profile sets.
“This remix feels like descending deeper into the Blacklizt universe,” said HNTR. “There’s a tension to it that never lets up—a version of ‘Faded’ that’s not just moody, but menacing.”
The accompanying visualiser plunges viewers into a noir dreamscape—matching flickering light with driving beats, movement with sonic suspense. It heightens the track’s immersive quality and deepens the listener’s emotional descent.
Coming off a landmark Coachella set alongside deadmau5, ZHU continues to blur genre lines and reimagine what electronic music can be. “Faded (Blacklizt Version) (HNTR Remix)” is not just a revival of a classic—it’s a testament to ZHU’s evolution and his fearless approach to sound and storytelling.
