Rain Man strikes again as he unveils the haunting future trap ballad "Habit." Chopping the vocals of Krysta Youngs to deadly effect, the Chicago native delivers yet another jaw-dropping crossover tune, recently premiered on YourEDM.
“Habit” is the latest vocal-driven crossover hit for the versatile Chicago native. During his time as a member of international sensation Krewella, Rain Man produced the group’s first Top 40 hit “Alive,” which peaked at #9 on Billboard’s Pop Songs Chart and propelled their debut studio album Get Wet directly to #1 on the Dance/Electronic Albums Chart. His 2016 single “Bring Back the Summer (feat. Oly)” was praised by PopMatters as “a massive earworm full of deep grooves, endless hooks, and the sheen of a dance hit in the making,” and audiences agreed. Upon its March release, the single catapulted to #5 on Spotify’s Viral 50 Chart (both US and Global) and the original plus remixes went on to amass over 20 million combined streams on Spotify. At radio, the single garnered over 1,000 plays on Sirius XM’s “BPM” channel and was supported at major Top 40 stations like KIIS FM in Los Angeles and KMVQ in San Francisco. “Bring Back the Summer (feat. Oly)” officially hit #1 on the Mediabase Dance Chart in August (knocking out Calvin Harris’ “This is What You Came For (feat. Rihanna)” in the process), and Rain Man celebrated by debuting the official music video (view here).
Building on his buzzing momentum, Rain Man released a string of notable official remixes including The Chainsmokers “Inside Out (feat. Charlee),”Watch The Duck’s “Beautiful, Broken, & Wasted (feat. Steve Aoki),” andYellow Claw’s “Sin City.” In addition to his busy release schedule, Rain Man also joined the Dim Mak 20th Anniversary celebration with performances in Miami, Chicago, and back-to-back Labor Day Weekend sets at New York’sElectric Zoo and Las Vegas’s Wet Republic.
Complementing Rain Man on “Habit” is Berklee College of Music graduate Krysta Youngs, whose eclectic alternative pop sound is on full display. The vocalist developed her craft through songwriter rounds in Nashville, Tennessee before working with The Writing Camp’s acclaimed founder David Quinones. Her unique sound has been featured in MTV’s The Real World, ESPN, andKeeping Up With The Kardashians. Additionally, she has worked with some of pop music’s biggest stars, including Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo, andRihanna. Combined with Rain Man’s impeccable production, Krysta Youngs’ vocals radiate through on this bona fide future classic.

New Noise is Dim Mak’s new music discovery imprint that focuses on cutting edge sounds from burgeoning artists across the genre spectrum. Launched in 2010, New Noise got its start as a compilation series highlighting fresh faces handpicked by Steve Aoki and crew. By 2015, the platform evolved into a bi-weekly, free-download model based on singles. Today we are proud to announce the next progression of New Noise: a copyright free model that will allow the budding community of Twitch gamers and amateur YouTube content creators to use New Noise music in their videos and live streams with ease. Via a newly minted YouTube channel dedicated to New Noise, Twitch gamers and aspiring YouTube stars alike can now browse, discover and download New Noise songs to use in their video content sans purchase or fees, all in exchange for linking back to the artists and their music.
The announcement serendipitously arrived around world-renowned gaming convention TwitchCon, where Dim Mak boss and steadfast Twitch supporter Steve Aoki headlined TwitchCon’s Official Party in San Diego’s Petco Park this past Saturday, October 1st. During his performance, Steve Aoki announced his ownership in the Las Vegas eSports organization, ROGUE. Having been a lifelong gamer, Steve Aoki became determined to build an eSports team after his experience at PAX East in April of this year, where he was invited to participate in a Street Fighter V exhibition match. He has been involved in eSports since his first introduction to Twitch after having hosted the platform's first non-gaming livestream, his performance at Pacha in Ibiza back in 2015.
Both Aoki and Dim Mak now have official Twitch channels from which they regularly broadcast music and gaming-oriented live streams. For instance, Dim Mak has recently hosted live streams from their downtown Los Angeles headquarters that pair up DJs with well-known gamers such as IIJERiiCHOII, Reynad27 and TheZombiUnicorn. With deep roots in the community, including spearheading his own mobile game Beat Bomb, Aoki aims to provide gamers with new ways to further enliven their experience via music.
“I game on Twitch, I stream music on Twitch, and I played TwitchCon, so I’m beyond excited to take this next step with gamers. Giving the Twitch community unbridled access to this great music we curate for the New Noise imprint is part of Dim Mak’s ongoing mission to promote new artists and new sounds. Some of today’s most exciting young producers are releasing on New Noise, and allowing copyright free access to this music for Twitch gamers will not only help these new artists quickly build a fanbase - it will also take the gamers’ streams to the next level.” – Steve Aoki
