ƱZ ‘Up In Flames' North American Summer Tour Trap's Best Kept Secret Comes To a City Near You

The mysterious ƱZ (pronunciation:ˈuːzi) embarks on his ‘Up In Flames’ tour of North America this week, bringing his killer trap productions to a city near you this spring and summer. Tour dates are below with more to be announced!

ƱZ surfaced in 2012 with his amazing Trap Shit series on Soundcloud, with the never-before-heard “Trap Shit V16” revealed today for free download.

Last month, ƱZ released “Trap Shit V12/13” on Boys Noize Records (listen here) with remixes from Justin Martin, Clicks & Whistles and Audionite out now. Immediately gaining attention and praise from tastemakers and top record labels, ƱZ has since also dropped records on Mad Decent, OWSLA, Mau5trap, and SMOG. “UZ tunes are drunken energy sub bass and cartoon horn stabs that make my stomach feel weird and my feet shuffle,” Diplo writes. Though the details of his personal identity are unknown, his productions and style have a life of their own. His sounds are minimal, yet powerful, with a menacing intensity, maturity, and restraint. And as anyone who has witnessed him live can attest, one must see to believe. He is more than a sound, or a mask, and can only be described as one thing: ƱZ.
