“Pick Up The Tempo” by Z3LLA is a pulsing, dark pop cut laced with lust and precision synth work.
With their latest single “Pick Up The Tempo,” electronic-pop duo Z3LLA delve into themes of desire and momentum. Released via Dim Mak, the track uses pulsing techno beats and emotional vocal lines to build a sonic experience built for dark rooms and high-volume speakers.
“It’s as if Tate McRae made a song for a 2am warehouse rave,” the duo explain. “This song screams lust to us and that’s what we were aiming to convey with the lyrics, melodies, vocal production, and track.”

On tour, “Pick Up The Tempo” has already established its emotional punch, with Z3LLA calling its first live performance a surreal milestone. Their Phase 2 tour opened with strong energy, including shows with Galantis, and looks toward a peak at Breakaway Festival later this year.
More than just club fare, “Pick Up The Tempo” represents a moment of clarity and creative evolution — a bridge between introspection and intensity.
