CASH CASH TEAM UP WITH ANDY GRAMMER FOR “I FOUND YOU” COLLABORATION

The world-renowned electronic music trio Cash Cash has been churning out chart-topping EDM hits for over a decade, and today they’re sharing their latest track called “I Found You” that they cut with multiplatinum pop singer-songwriter Andy Grammer. An original version of “I Found You” was released on Grammer’s 2019 album Naive. The new rendition is an anthemic track that takes the original into uncharted territory, combining the trio’s up-tempo electronic production with a pop edge that’ll have people on the dance floor from the first note - LISTEN HERE!

Currently signed to Big Beat/Atlantic Records, Cash Cash consists of brothers Jean Paul Makhlouf and Alex Makhlouf, as well as life-long friend Samuel Frisch. Together, the three DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalists record, mix and master all their music themselves. Over the past few years they have seen massive success with their slew of single releases. Their song  “Finest Hour” (feat. Abir) has been RIAA-certified Gold, and their 2019 collaboration with P!NK called “Can We Pretend” hit Top 10 at AC radio. Their single “Call You” (feat. Nasri of MAGIC!) hit #1 on US Dance Radio, and they were also featured on Billboard’s Dance 100 List for 2019. Their smash single “Take Me Home” (ft. Bebe Rexha) celebrated an RIAA platinum certification; their song “All My Love” ft. Conor Maynard has amassed over 100 million streams on Spotify alone; “Matches” featuring ROZES achieved #1 on Dance Radio, and one of their releases “Belong” was featured on Dashboard Confessional’s album “Crooked Shadows.” In addition, Cash Cash started 2020 off strong with their release of “Mean It” (feat. Wrabel) which premiered on PAPER magazine.

Since his 2011 self-titled debut, Grammer has consistently delivered stratosphere-size smashes buoyed by impressive range, deft musicality, and endless charisma. By 2019, he scored seven chart-topping hits—each certified gold or better by the RIAA. The artist’s breakout “Fine By Me” and its follow-up “Keep Your Head Up” are both certified platinum. His 2014 sophomore offering, Magazines or Novels, went gold and yielded the gold “Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah).” During this chapter, the single “Honey, I’m Good” reached quadruple-platinum status globally, emerging as “one of the best-selling songs of 2015.” He maintained this streak on 2017’s The Good Parts. The standout “Fresh Eyes” tallied over 350 million streams, achieving a platinum plaque. Not to mention, he consistently sold out headline gigs everywhere. Building upon that foundation, his 2019 fourth full-length, Naive [S-Curve Records/BMG], amplifies both the message and the musicianship. Vibrant instrumentation upholds a feeling of unabashed positivity for Grammer throughout. This uplifting spirit defines the first single “Don’t Give Up On Me.” Featured in the big screen drama Five Feet Apart, the song clocked 18 million Spotify streams in three weeks between the original and R3HAB remix. From the bright “Wish You Pain” to the epic Lady Blacksmith Mambazo-assisted “She’d Say,” these moments commute and inspire happiness in its purest form on Naive and beyond.

As festival season approaches, you can hedge your bets that Cash Cash will be reliable stalwarts to catch at the biggest and best among them; the trio is set to continue their dance floor domination with several festival announcements coming soon. In the meantime, “I Found You” is the perfect song to hit play on while you prep your Summer travel!

New York-based popular electric violinist Sarah Charness released the Vivaldi inspired Cryorhythmic - an EDM/Crossover track with 240K views on YouTube in its first month. Produced by Sarah, the project is already receiving positive feedback. Her six string violin is driving the melodic lead, while the song borrows themes from the composer's “Winter” and bridges Sarah’s classical roots with her more widely recognized electronic sound.

Steve Aoki Enlists Rock Icon Sting and Breakout Trio SHAED for Latest Track "2 in a Million"

Today, two-time Grammy-nominated DJ/Producer Steve Aoki, 17-time Grammy Award winning musician Sting, and platinum-selling trio SHAED (known for their hit single “Trampoline”), team up to release their new collaborative anthem for soulmates everywhere—an offering from Aoki’s upcoming Neon Future IV—“2 in a Million.”

The track begins with Sting as his soothing, unmistakable vocals captivate over Aoki’s slow but steady build, a signature of his pop ballads. The beat then drops introducing the pure vocals of SHAED’s lead Chelsea Lee as she joins pre-chorus with Sting to harmonize “How many people in the world are looking for a love like this tonight/ How many people in LA out there are searching for a sign/ How many people in the crowd and I still wander by your side,” grappling with the search of finding one's soulmate through all of life’s complexity.

The music video mirrors the sentiment of the song and its natural progression of the quest for a soulmate, opening with Sting on an empty stage in the spotlight alone. Thereafter two contemporary dancers join him on stage in a portrayal relaying how the two are ‘meant to be’. Next, we find SHAED in the mezzanine of the same theatre, while the video continues to intertwine all three acts - Steve, SHAED, and Sting in separate places within the theatre, up until we find them together on the rooftop overlooking the cityscape.

“I am beyond excited about this collaboration with Sting and SHAED,” said Aoki. “SHAED is a group of incredible talent and Sting is just a legend. I’ve been a fan of his for as long as I can remember, so it’s surreal to have him on one of my songs. What they both brought to the table made for an incredible track, so ready for the world to hear it."

Sting added, “To me, the greatest element in music is surprise so I’m always open to collaborate with other artists as you never quite know where it’s going to take you. This sounded like an interesting opportunity and I’m excited for people to hear the new track.”

“We all grew up listening to Sting and The Police,” tacked on SHAED. “He was a huge influence on all of us so when Steve approached us with the collab it was a no brainer. We had the best time working with Steve and Sting and really love this track.”
