Intro

3LAU creates the kind of music that feels like a sunrise at the end of a very long, very expensive night. It is unapologetically big, bright, and polished to a mirror finish. His sound sits at the intersection of mainstage EDM and radio-ready pop, characterized by massive synth swells, side-chained basslines, and soaring vocal performances that aim straight for the rafters.

What sets him apart is his history as a mashup artist, which informs a keen sense of how to layer familiar pop melodies over aggressive electronic foundations. There is a specific 'gloss' to his production that feels expensive and intentional, balancing the grit of electro house with a melodic sensitivity that keeps the tracks accessible even at high volumes.

Start with 'How You Love Me' to hear his peak big-room era, then move to 'Everything' to see how his sound has matured into a more nuanced, yet still undeniably anthemic, electronic space.

Justin David Blau (born January 9, 1991), better known by his stage name 3lau (stylized in all caps, pronounced "Blau"), is an American DJ and electronic dance music producer.
