SPIN Magazine is diving headfirst into electronic music with the launch of its new dance music series, kicking off with ZHU at Sound Nightclub in Hollywood on Wednesday, May 6. The event marks a fresh chapter for the iconic music publication, which has been covering culture-defining artists for nearly four decades.
The club experience celebrates the release of a limited edition SPIN mini-mag featuring ZHU on the cover—the first of its kind for the publication. Each attendee will receive a copy of this premiere dance music edition, complete with an NFC (near field communication) chip containing an exclusive mix from the mysterious producer.
Tech-Forward Experience
The NFC chip integration represents ZHU's continued push into innovative fan experiences. A simple scan provides instant access to content created specifically for this SPIN event, showcasing the future-facing approach that has defined much of ZHU's artistic vision beyond traditional club and festival performances.
For SPIN, this dance music series launch represents another expansion of the brand's reach, joining their record label with Virgin, TV and film deal with 101 Studios, merchandise partnerships, and music tech incubator. The publication has been featuring the biggest artists on its covers for over 40 years, and this ZHU collaboration signals their commitment to electronic music's growing cultural influence.
Tickets for the May 6 event at Sound Nightclub are available now. The limited edition SPIN X ZHU mini-mag and exclusive mix make this a unique collectors' experience for both electronic music fans and SPIN enthusiasts.
