Optical Disco Release ‘Stay The Night’ on DJcity Records
Australia’s Optical Disco returns with a mesmerizing disco-themed rendition of Zedd’s EDM classic on DJcity Records. “Stay The Night” is the first of four tracks to be featured on DJcity’s annual compilation EP, “Studio 24.”
“This track was the result of a personal challenge,” Optical Disco shares. “I wanted to see if I could create a transcendent disco track using only stock Ableton plugins that exude both energy and nostalgia. With shimmering arpeggios, soulful pianos, lush strings, and angelic vocals, I believe ‘Stay the Night’ showcases the boundless creativity that arises when limitations are embraced.”
Download “Stay The Night” on DJcity and listen to it on all streaming platforms here.

Rogerson Remixes Zedd’s ‘Clarity’ Feat. Foxes: DJcity Exclusive
(Source: Instagram)
Dutch DJ/producer Rogerson is back with another remix exclusively for DJcity. This time, it’s a refreshing, funky take on Zedd and Foxes‘ 2012 big room smash “Clarity.” The emotive dance ballad was a triple-platinum-selling hit that reached the top of Billboard’s Dance Music chart and was a top-10 charter on Billboard’s Hot 100.
“For me, Zedd is one of the greatest producers out there,” Rogerson says. “Because of that, it wasn’t easy to create a theme for this remix, as its original is so good already! I like dark deep sounds for my remixes, but this one wouldn’t fit… because of it’s musical key. So I made the choice to create something completely different, and I think it worked out really well!”

Watch Zedd and Katy Perry’s ‘365’ Video
Katy Perry plays an obsessive robot in the video for her Zedd-produced single, “365.” The track, which was released last Thursday, is their first collaboration together.
The visual shows robot Katy Perry and human Zedd living together as part of an experiment. Perry malfunctions after she develops feelings for Zedd but finds out he doesn’t love her back.
“365” follows Zedd’s 2018 single “Happy Now” with singer Elley Duhe. Perry’s last release was 2017’s “Swish Swish” featuring Nicki Minaj.
Watch the video above and download “365” on DJcity.
Alex Rosales Drops Latin Remix of Zedd’s ‘The Middle’
Alex Rosales performs at Don Chente Bar and Grill in Los Angeles on April 27, 2017.
Rising Los Angeles-based producer and singer Alex Rosales has dropped a Latin remix of Zedd, Maren Morris, and Grey‘s smash hit, “The Middle.” The original version peaked at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100, making it Zedd’s highest-charting single as a main artist. It was also one of DJcity’s most-downloaded tracks of February.
Rosales replaces Zedd and Grey’s production with a new instrumental, which is driven by Latin-influenced guitar and drums. He maintains most of Morris’ original vocals throughout while adding his own verse and a catchy hook.
Born in Indiana, Rosales is best known for his remix of Becky G‘s Latin heater “Mayores” featuring Bad Bunny. His latest single, “Bailar Asi,” interpolates the chorus from Mana‘s 1982 classic, “Oye Mi Amor.”

Watch: How Zedd’s ‘The Middle’ Was Made

Most pop hits these days are the work of multiple songwriters and producers. In the case of Zedd, Maren Morris, and Grey‘s smash “The Middle,” there are seven credited songwriters and three credited producers. The process took over a year and almost fell apart at one point.
The hard work and patience have paid off, though. “Middle” has amassed hundreds of millions of streams and is currently No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot 100, making it Zedd’s highest-charting single as a main artist.
For the debut episode of its Diary of a Song series, The New York Times “tracked the writing and production of ‘The Middle’ through voice memos, demo versions, text messages, emails, interviews and more provided by those behind the track.”
