Pokémon 25: The Blue EP, which features remixes from ZHU, is out now
Weeks after the release of Pokémon 25: The Red EP, the remix companion Pokémon 25: The Blue EP has been released today.
The three-song release features remixes from Grammy-nominated producer ZHU. The producer, who dropped their new album Dreamland 2021 this past spring, will also have special Pokémon-themed merch available soon. ZHU said this about being part of the Pokémon 25 celebration:
“I had a great time designing a collection for my merch collaboration with Pokémon. As a lifelong fan of Pokémon, I wanted to bring back a flash of the 90s into today’s fashion. Of course, I had to incorporate my favorite Pokémon Gengar. I can’t wait for my fans to see this unique line and I’m excited for them to hear my new mixes too.”
Colin Palmer, vice president of marketing, The Pokémon Company International said this about the remix EP:
“ZHU’s remixes for Pokémon 25: The Blue EP are a special component of the P25 Music program. His alternate versions of The Red EP songs allow music fans to celebrate a part of Pokémon history while enjoying something completely new and different. Pokémon fans will especially enjoy sound effects from classic Pokémon video games in some of his tracks. ZHU’s mastery of the remix and unique sound, paired with the fantastic original songs, continue to build out the breadth of amazing global artists who have come together to help us celebrate 25 years of Pokémon.”
Pokémon 25: The Blue EP is available on digital services right now.
