About me
Zemyu is the artist name of Sascha Knodel, a music producer, composer and songwriter with more than 15 years of experience in electronic music. He also releases music under the artist names ZMY and Velouré. Over the years, he has worked on numerous projects and produced tracks for other artists, including several charting releases.
Originally blending pop with reggae and funk influences, Zemyu has since found his signature sound in Funky House and Disco House, combining groovy basslines, soulful melodies and his own live-played guitar riffs. His recent releases have been featured in DJ and sales charts on platforms such as Beatport and Traxsource.
In 2024, he launched his own LoFi Hip Hop project ZMY, which quickly established itself within the genre. Tracks like "Trip" have surpassed 3.5 million streams, while the Silver Lines series (Parts 1–3) has accumulated nearly 5 million Spotify streams, making ZMY a successful second artistic project.
In 2026, he opened a new musical chapter with Velouré, his own solo project exploring the world of Chill House and Lounge House. Velouré is written and produced by Sascha Knodel alone and is released through the label Klangspot. The debut single "Before You Go" blends warm atmospheres, organic textures and melodic house elements into a relaxed yet emotional listening experience, followed by "Before You Go (Piano Version)" and "Ibiza de Noche". While expanding into a softer sound, the project stays true to the musical craftsmanship and groove that define Zemyu's productions.
Zemyu, ZMY and Velouré are all artist projects of Sascha Knodel. For bookings, press and all other enquiries: info@zemyu.com
