Cheat Codes team up with Kaskade for new song, “Be The One”
“Kaskade’s one of the reasons we got into dance music. So blessed to be collaborating on this record with him. “Be the one” is about that desire to be special in someones life.

I think every relationship has those moments that stick out and make it memorable, whether its a short fling or someone you’re committed to long term with. Everybody wants to be “the one” ; that person that makes a HUGE impact on someones else’s life” – Cheat Codes

Tronos Release New Single “Premonition”
“I wrote the words to ‘Premonition’ on tour one year on a day-off in Portugal,” states vocalist and guitarist Shabe Embury about the song. “I think it might have been on one of my birthdays away from home. I mean, when I am ever at home? The words are reflections about the life I have led – how any of our lives, I suppose, start small. How at times it feels dark and scary, but at times there’s the happiness of achievement. Life feels continuously insecure sometimes but I know that when I feel my strongest, when I gaze at the life I have in part helped to create for my children, I have no regrets. As life speeds faster onwards, I am prepared to leave one day knowing I have achieved more than was ever expected of me.To add, also having the chance to have Snake from Voivod singing on this track with me and Billy playing bass was an honor. I couldn’t have thought of any other people more perfect for this track. It captures the emotion of a journey onwards and towards a higher plane of existence and has a special meaning for me!”

It may even be after you’ve really messed up but they believe your biggest and wildest dreams and hype you up when you need to hear it. I doubted myself a lot while I was making this record but was lucky to have a lot of people give me that boost and push me through.”
Dead Horse Beats unveils “Home Days” via Exclaim | New LP out 5/24
The track premiered via Exclaim where Dead Horse Beats detailed, “‘Home Days’ is about people having different motivations and the tension that can cause between them. The main character (who is definitely not me) is the type of person who works at home making electronic music in sweatpants all day, while their partner works at a prestigious, downtown law firm. He struggles with the feeling that he’s not pulling his weight or making the people who care for him proud. I tried to use this song to work through my insecurities about whether or not I’ve chosen the right path, and whether my choices could potentially breed resentment towards me from those who care about me.”
