ZHU and KamJam Drop New Single "Party Goin'"

ZHU and KamJam released their collaborative single "Party Goin'" on November 13, 2026, a dance electronic track available now across streaming platforms via the link at stem.ffm.to/party-goin.

The two artists are both San Francisco natives, though they come from different points in their careers. ZHU is a Grammy-nominated producer, singer, DJ, and instrumentalist who broke through in 2014 with "Faded," which earned a nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 2015 Grammy Awards. KamJam is a San Diego-based producer and DJ originally from the Bay Area, with a background in funk, jazz, soul, and rock. According to the press release, KamJam has more than one million streams and prior releases with labels Modern Delivery and Always Dance.

What "Party Goin'" Sounds Like and Where It Came From

The track shifts noticeably from the darker, moodier territory ZHU is known for. "Party Goin'" leans uplifting and funky, built around a groove-driven feel that reflects KamJam's background in soul and organic instrumentation.

According to the release, ZHU first heard KamJam's demos and the track immediately stood out. He began testing it in his live sets, including at a pop-up in Mexico City, before the two played it together publicly at a Halloween event at Global Distillery Island in San Francisco. The release says crowd response at those shows was strong, and the track has since become a regular in ZHU's sets.

ZHU's most recent album, BLACK MIDAS, is out now. His catalog also includes GENERATIONWHY (2016), RINGOS DESERT (2018), DREAMLAND 2021 (2021), Musical Chairs Mixtape Vol. 1 (2022), and GRACE (2024), which was accompanied by a film. The single "Call Me Baby" featuring HNTR came out before "Party Goin'," and both tracks appear to be part of ZHU's current rollout cycle around BLACK MIDAS.

No producer credit beyond the two collaborating artists is listed in the release. It is not confirmed which album, if any, "Party Goin'" belongs to beyond BLACK MIDAS being ZHU's current project.

When ZHU Plays Live and What BLACKLIZT.DC Is

ZHU has a run of dates scheduled through early 2027. KamJam appears on several of them:, November 13: Revel, Albuquerque, NM, November 14: Silo, Dallas, TX, December 4: Re:Frame by Framework, Los Angeles, CA, December 5: Re:Frame by Framework, Los Angeles, CA, December 18: BLACKLIZT.DC, BERTHA, Washington, DC, December 19: BLACKLIZT.DC, BERTHA, Washington, DC, January 29: X Games, Aspen, CO, January 30: Belly Up, Aspen, CO

What Independent Artists Can Take From This

The structure of this release is worth paying attention to if you are building your own career. KamJam did not wait to be discovered through traditional channels. He had demos ready, had already built a catalog with independent labels, and had established enough of a sound that when ZHU heard the work, the direction was clear. The co-sign came after the foundation was already there.

ZHU road-tested "Party Goin'" in live sets before it was ever officially released, using real crowd reaction to confirm the track was worth putting out. That is a practical strategy available to any artist playing shows, at any level.
