German duo Zulhou returns with “Simulation,” the second release from their self-produced Astropolis EP. Combining the immersive rhythms of progressive house with the emotive drive of melodic techno, Zulhou creates a track that is both introspective and irresistibly danceable. Written, sung, mixed, and mastered entirely by the duo, “Simulation” reflects their commitment to hands-on artistry and showcases their refined production skills.
The track immediately draws listeners in with its haunting melodies and layered textures. A steady, driving beat underpins a dynamic arrangement of atmospheric synths and deep basslines, creating a hypnotic progression that’s perfect for late-night sets. Zulhou’s vocals add a personal, human touch to the otherwise electronic soundscape, giving “Simulation” a distinctive edge. It’s a track that feels equally at home on dark dancefloors and reflective playlists, balancing melodic beauty with tech-inspired grit.
As part of the Astropolis EP, “Simulation” reflects the duo’s artistic ethos: blending elements of dark indie influences with cutting-edge electronic production. Zulhou’s DIY approach—writing, singing, producing, and mastering all their work—sets them apart in the electronic music scene, highlighting their passion and creative autonomy.
For fans of artists like Tale of Us, Stephan Bodzin, or Ben Böhmer, Zulhou’s “Simulation” offers a fresh take on melodic and progressive sounds. This track, along with the Astropolis EP, is a testament to the duo’s ability to craft immersive, self-contained musical worlds.
