On today’s edition of your Sun City Sound Clash we’re merging two artists whose sound has nothing in common with the other. Though they may be similar in age, Alesso and Zomboy’s production span two different avenues of dance music. But we think both groups of fans can agree – these two have been making quite the splash with their sound. No matter just how different those two sounds may be.
Alesso
Debuting with “Nillionaire” and breaking through with the dark and energized “Raise Your Head,” Alesso first gained worldwide attention and popularity in 2011 with the help of his original productions and his remix of “Pressure.” With the original produced by Nadia Ali, Starkillers and Alex Kenji, Alesso’s remix of the track was one of the most played dance songs of 2011. Following the success of that release, Alesso followed up with Beatport chart toppers “Calling” with Sebastian Ingrosso and “Years” with Matthew Koma.
Specializing in progressive house, Alesso is known for retaining that melodic finesse and anthemic style we love so much. And being named the EDM artist to watch in 2012 by MTV, Alesso enters 2013 with a successful remix of the OneRepublic song “If I Lose Myself.” With the world still buzzing about this track, we’re pretty excited about hearing live when Alesso joins us August 31st and September 1s.

Zomboy
Half zombie and half boy, Zomboy originally started out in a background of traditional sound engineering, including running his own recording studio. Even though it wasn’t until he moved to Guildford, England to study Music production that Zomboy discovered a new admiration for dance music, he quickly made up for his lack of exposure to the genre at neck-breaking speeds.
After his debut Game Time EP was in the top 5 of Beatport’s dubstep chart for over eight weeks, within six months of the release, the tracks on were licensed to eight music compilations on various labels like Warner Music and Ministry of Sound. Now that’s some debut, huh?
On his followup EP, Zomboy left no tempo unturned incorporating drumstep, electro, orchestral interludes and of course, the sonically perfected dubstep that we love him for. Known for his filthy and grimey take on dubstep, you can see the undead producer Zomboy for this year’s Sun CityMusic Festival, but only if you buy your tickets now!
