Tiësto and Lucas & Steve Collaborate on Electrifying Single “Zenless” with Silent Child

In a collaboration of epic proportions, Grammy-winning Tiësto and his fellow Dutch duo Lucas & Steve join forces for “Zenless,” an electrifying theme song for HoYoverse’s highly anticipated urban fantasy action role-playing game “Zenless Zone Zero,” which already has over 40M pre-registrations ahead of its launch. This genre-melding dark techno-oriented masterpiece transcends boundaries, fusing Tiësto‘s legendary big-room beats with Lucas & Steve’s cutting-edge futuristic soundscapes. Infused with the very essence of “Zenless Zone Zero,” the track throbs with samples from the game’s vibrant world, where towering skyscrapers pierce neon-drenched skies, and the thrill of adventure hangs heavy in the air. Prepare to be propelled into the heart of New Eridu, the last bastion of humanity, combating enigmatic supernatural disasters called “Hollows” with every pulse-pounding beat of “Zenless.” This anthem is not just music; it’s a portal – a sonic gateway ready to transport you to a world brimming with danger, mystery, and exhilarating possibilities. “Zenless” is out now on all streaming platforms via Spinnin’ Records/Musical Freedom in collaboration with HoYoverse – a leader in cartoon rendering, artificial intelligence, cloud gaming technology, known for game products such as Genshin Impact, Honkai Impact 3rd, Tears of Themis, and more. Zenless Zone Zero launches on July 04here, unleashing its urban fantasy magic across PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android, accompanied by Tiësto and Lucas & Steve’s “Zenless” single. Gear up to navigate the treacherous Hollows, a post-apocalyptic labyrinth teeming with challenges and rewards. Assemble your crew of unique characters, each with their own fighting styles and personalities, and unravel the secrets that lie beneath the neon glow of New Eridu. 

It’s our second collaboration with Tiësto, and we are always super inspired to work with him. It was always a dream to make an anthem for a game, so when HoYoverse asked Tiësto and us to make this song for them, it was a dream coming true. We love Zenless Zone Zero, and we can’t wait to have this anthem out
