BAMP Project & Electric Palms present Sound Waves with DIPLO & ZHU live at Wai Kai Event Lawn Friday & Saturday, November 29 & 30, 2024. This is an 18+ event.Over the course of a 20-year career that began with his now-legendary Philly club night Hollertronix, Diplo has collaborated with the world's biggest stars and toured the world over. Born in Mississippi and raised in Florida, he and his era-defining label Mad Decent continue to champion genres and artists from around the world, and further ventures include a publishing company and various book, film and TV projects. The now thirteen-time Grammy nominee is also a member of the iconic Major Lazer, one third of LSD — the psychedelic supergroup with Sia and Labrinth whose debut album has been streamed over 3 billion times — and half of Silk City with Mark Ronson, whose Platinum-certified, Grammy-winning "Electricity" with Dua Lipa topped charts worldwide. Diplo also released a self-titled album last year — his first full length of electronic music in 18 years that features four U.S. Dance #1s — via Higher Ground, the deep house imprint he launched in 2019.
Additionally, he recently revived his country project Thomas Wesley with a new album, Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley: Chapter 2 — Swamp Savant, featuring collaborations with Sturgill Simpson, Dove Cameron, Morgan Wade, Parker McCollum and more. Swamp Savant marks his first new country music since 2020's Gold-certified Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil, which features the six times Platinum-certified single "Heartless" with Morgan Wallen, Gold-certified tracks "Dance With Me" with Thomas Rhett and Young Thug and "Lonely" with Jonas Brothers and more.

With his sleek synth melodies, billowing basslines, and undeniable hooks, the GRAMMY-nominated artist ZHU creates tracks that are as sexy as they are sinister. Though many know ZHU as a producer and DJ, he’s much more than that: he’s also a singer, performer, instrumentalist, and, importantly, a songwriter and filmmaker, two facets he delves into for his ambitious new album and film GRACE. The dual projects navigate a carefully written journey from darkness to light, tension to release, uncertainty to peace. ZHU created an accompanying film (out this fall) that fully captures GRACE’s breathtaking audio-visual spectacle. The album, which will double as the film’s soundtrack, is the clearest manifestation of ZHU’s multifaceted artistic state of mind. ZHU first made his presence known to the world with his 2014 single, “Faded,” which was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 2015 Grammy Awards. He stamped his spot with his genre-blurring 2016 debut, GENERATIONWHY. He only continued to evolve with subsequent projects like RINGOS DESERT (2018), DREAMLAND 2021 (2021), Musical Chairs Mixtape (Vol. 1) (2022) and Days Before Grace EP (2023), a prologue to Grace. Upon the release of GRACE, ZHU is reflecting on his career and he’s also ready for new boundaries to push. Far from a standard dance record or a collection of singles, ZHU intends GRACE to be listened to from beginning to end, as he tells a story that’s surely worth watching.
