UZ
Diplo explains UZ best: “UZ’s tunes are drunken energy sub bass and cartoon horn stabs that make my stomach feel weird and my feet shuffle.”
A producer that just showed up on SoundCloud a couple years ago to flip the trap game upside down, UZ lives his life shrouded in mystery, as he hides his true identity behind a gold mask and a black bandana. There’s several rumors abound about his identity, but it doesn’t really matter. He makes some incredible trap music. If you’re into that kind of stuff, then do not miss this mystery man at Electric Zoo.
Milo & Otis
LA duo Milo & Otis are slaying dance floors right now with their huge trap bangers. The voice sample before the drop on their well-known single Pigeons will have you laughing out loud, but what’s even more impressive is how they integrated a middle-eastern snake charmer vibe perfectly. I love it when good producers can take two totally different genres and seamlessly intertwine them like they should have been together all along.
Love 2 Love U is arguably their most genius and well-constructed song. The vocals are sampled from Donna Summers’ 1975 sexy disco track Love To Love You Baby. If you haven’t already gotten on board with the Nu Disco genre, this Milo & Otis trap track is a perfect example as to how music from that era is still influencing producers today.
