ANZU

ANZU are a Canadian house music duo formed in Edmonton, Alberta by Simon Belanger and Jesse Silkie. Throughout 2018, they released a series of EPs entitled Without Love Vol. 1 & 2. Their music consists of a sample-heavy, disco-inspired sound while flirting with lo-fi house and classic 80's house production techniques.

Without Love Vol. 1 & 2 have received substantial praise upon release with critics commending the duo's production. Vivan Lin of EARMILK wrote that "ANZU masterfully exhibits their talent in sampling and tasteful cuts, ultimately creating an all-around feel-good track sure to please any disco lover or newcomers to the disco scene." Kristi Shinfuku of Magnetic Magazine called their work "disco-infused perfection'' and "addicting'' while describing it as "an eclectic mixture of modern touches with nostalgic soul, making it easily one of their best releases yet.'' The Without Love series has received global radio support gaining exposure from Capital XTRA and the large European network of Kiss FM stations, as well as DJ support from the likes of Tensnake and Coco Cole.

ANZU has been DJing since 2012. They started their residency with Acid Church in 2016 and officially joined SWEAT as resident DJs at the beginning of 2019. The duo are currently preparing for their upcoming label releases on Sundries and Lisztomania Records.
