CHINA EDM Vol.2 Launches Global Open Call for the First All-Female Producer/DJ Compilation. In 2024, CHINA EDM Vol.1, the first-ever Chinese electronic dance music compilation, was released globally, receiving widespread listens, resonance, and feedback from around the world. Today, Cyanhill Music and its founder—electronic music producer/DJ ZHANGYE—officially announce the launch of the CHINA EDM Vol.2 project.
For this edition, ZHANGYE has made a bold and groundbreaking decision:
The open call will be exclusively for Chinese female electronic music producers and DJs.
“Electronic dance music is the most inherently global form of music. We hope to connect electronic musicians—to help, support, and learn from each other—so that Chinese electronic music can be heard and loved by more people worldwide.” – ZHANGYE
The inaugural compilation, CHINA EDM Vol.1, released in 2024, featured works from leading Chinese producers and DJs including BEAUZ, CORSAK, Panta.Q, Willim, ZHANGYE and more. Distributed globally by Cyanhill Music, the compilation achieved widespread recognition and reaffirmed ZHANGYE’s long-term vision of bringing Chinese electronic music onto the global stage.
