Steve Aoki Drops New Music Video "Without U" with DVBBS Ft. 2 Chainz

Acclaimed record producer, DJ and label founder Steve Aoki has unveiled the official music video for his latest single “Without U,” featuring DJ/production duo DVBBS and rapper 2 Chainz. The first release off Aoki’s forthcoming album KOLONY, the video for “Without U" follows Aoki, 2 Chainz, and DVBBS through the winding halls of Dim Mak Manor. Filled with moving portraits and animated mannequins, the video’s stark minimal and monochromatic composition effortlessly compliments the feeling of the track.

 “The Without U video is the first look into the Dim Mak manor where you get to see a room in the house curated by 2 Chainz, DVBBS and I. Each room of the manor is designed by a different song from the album all interconnected in this Kolony community,” said Aoki.
 

“Without U” comes off the announcement of Steve Aoki Presents KOLONY, due for release July 21 via Dim Mak Records / Ultra Records, his first full turn into rap music. With nearly 10 years of hip-hop collaborations, Aoki describes it as “bridging the gap” between genres and is stacked with hard-hitting rhymes from some of the most prominent lyricists today, including Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Migos, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, ILOVEMAKONNEN, T-Pain, and more.
 
Aoki’s pop-driven single with One Direction member Louis Tomlinson, “Just Hold On,” released last December, has debuted at #1 in 43 countries and achieved Gold or Platinum status in 18 countries. He also earned his second Grammy nomination this past year for the Best Music Film category via his Netflix original documentary I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, which chronicles his fast-paced life as a DJ/producer and offers fans a firsthand look into his world. The film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last spring to a sold-out audience.
 
Aoki recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of his legendary imprint Dim Mak. Founded in 1996, the independent label has encompassed everything from edgy rock to trendsetting electro throughout its 20 year span, last year seeing the release of a special edition compilation album and celebrations at major festivals around the globe.
 
Canadian Electronic Duo DVBBS, made up of brothers Chris Chronicles & Alex Andre, are most famous for their joint international hit with Borgeous titled “Tsunami." Since “Tsunami," they’ve dropped a string of hits including “La La Land,” “Gold Skies,” and their No. 1 breakthrough “Angel.” Relentlessly expanding their cultural footprint through platinum sales certifications in nearly a dozen countries, their latest hit with CMC$ “Not Going Home” featuring Gia Koka has gained over 60 million Spotify streams.

Grammy award-winning rapper 2 Chainz hails from College Park, Georgia and catapulted into the mainstream in 2012 through the release of hit-singles "No Lie," "Birthday Song," and "I'm Different" off his debut studio album. His recent single “It’s A Vibe” is stacked, with features from Ty Dolla $ign, Trey Songz and Jhené Aiko.

Globally-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated production duo Galantis is riding high on the recent success of smash hit “Hunter” (Big Beat Records) which snagged their highest streaming debut to date, racking up over 1.2 million domestic streams in its first week. The track has since tallied over 25 million streams on Spotify alone since its release in May, and is currently reaching new heights at #11 on Dance Radio!

Now, Galantis is back with the official music video for “Hunter,” out today, featuring a tribal dystopian theme underscored by Where the Wild Things Are-esque characters in vivid dress. Viewers are taken on a journey with the creatures on their quest for a mystical jungle concoction, featuring cameos from Galantis’ own Christian Karlsson and Linus Eklöw, and culminating with a ritualistic victory dance.  

“Hunter” also recently got the official remix package treatment, featuring remixes from Henry Fong, Mike Williams, Made In June, and NGHTMARE & Rickyxsan, alongside a Galantis & Misha K VIP mix (LISTEN HERE).

“Hunter” arrives on the heels of Galantis’ recently released “Rich Boy” (BUY/STREAM), which featured infectious vocals from an eight-year-old girl, and was lauded by Billboard as yet “another synth-drenched jam” from the duo.

Galantis was nominated this year for three P3 Gold Awards in their native Sweden, winning “Best Dance Act.” Additionally, the duo won “Producer of the Year” at this year’s SKAP Awards, and “No Money” was nominated for “Song of the Year” at the 2017 Swedish Grammis Awards. Galantis has found tremendous success with other recent single releases, including “Love On Me” and last year’s platinum-selling smash hit “No Money,” which is Galantis’ biggest track to date at over 600 million global streams.

Watch this: ilan Bluestone ft. Giuseppe De Luca “Frozen Ground” official music video

The first single to be taken from his forthcoming debut artist album, “Frozen Ground” reunites ilan Bluestone with British singer / songwriter Giuseppe De Luca. Since joining Anjunabeats in 2011, ilan has been at the forefront of the evolving trance sound. With an ear for hooky instrumentals, organic chords and dance floor minded productions, the likes of “Big Ben,” “Spheres” and “43” became euphoric moments in DJ sets for acts such as Above & Beyond and Armin Van Buuren.

 A prolific touring artist, ilan has headlined the Anjunabeats North American tour in 2016 and 2017 as well as joining Above & Beyond at Madison Square Garden and Sydney’s All Phones Arena.

 The follow up to ilan and Giuseppe’s breakout hit “Bigger Than Love”, “Frozen Ground” was debuted during Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 200 show in a sold out 13,000 capacity Ziggo Dome.

 For Giuseppe, inspiration for the song came after he joined ilan on stage at EDC, “There’s something about witnessing a sea of people gathered together to feel something that really helps to warp the borders of reality. I had this Brechtian idea of a specific sound, that when heard, would snap the listener out of their everyday veneer and allow them to connect with who they truly are. On Frozen Ground, I feel that sound, forever."
