NUZB IS BACK WITH HIS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED EP, "PSYCHO." OUT NOW ON STMPD RCRDS

The idea for the EP sparked during his electrifying South America tour with none other than Martin Garrix. Sharing his fresh ideas with Martin, NUZB found enthusiastic support for compiling them into a cohesive EP. The response from the crowd to the new tracks was phenomenal, solidifying the idea to release the EP. 

Friends couldn't help but rave about the new material, even calling NUZB a "psycho" for his insane energy and innovative sound. Taking it as a compliment, NUZB decided to embrace the term, naming his EP "PSYCHO" as a nod to both his friends' remarks and one of his all-time favorite movies.

Talking about the EP, NUZB said the following: ‘’The EP features five tracks, marking a significant release for NUZB, who hasn't dropped something of this magnitude in a while. Each track is distinct yet harmoniously connected, showcasing his evolution towards a bass house sound. The inspiration behind "PSYCHO" draws deeply from the bass music that first ignited NUZB's passion for DJing and producing. Influences from legends like Skrillex and Abstract are evident, as NUZB revisits his roots while infusing a modern twist.’’
