Kill The Noise, Far Out & Sultan + Shepard Remix Seven Lions & Andrew Bayer’s “Returning To You”

Dubstep, Trending

“Returning To You” (Remixes) is the remix package for dance producer Seven Lions and trance producer Andrew Bayer‘s first official collaboration. The pack features an experimental/melodic bass remix from Kill The Noise, a melodic dubstep/chillstep remix from Far Out and a melodic/progressive house remix by
Sultan + Shepard. The original hit #48 on Billboard’s Dance & Electronic Chart and had massive support on editorial playlists (Power Hour, Dance Rising, Workout Beats, Bass Arcade, danceXL). Seven Lions and Kill The Noise will also be promoting the original and remixes on the upcoming Pantheon tour.

The music of Jake Stanczak, better known as American producer and DJ, Kill the Noise, was born out of an era where Ridley Scott imagined utopian futures on the silver screen, and artists like NIN and Aphex Twin rocked MTV. After channeling the influences of his youth through over a decades’ worth of forward driven electronic releases (Roots, Kill Kill Kill, Black Magic, Occult Classic), and charismatic live shows (Coachella, EDC Lollapalooza, Hardfest), the name “Kill the Noise” has become synonymous with some of the leading acts in dance music — getting creative in the studio with the likes of Dillon Francis, Deadmau5, AWOLNATION and Skrillex — and as 2020 unfolds, he’ll be unveiling even more material.

Far Out had a debut live performance at EDC Las Vegas, supported Illenium on his North America Tour, and was nominated as one of Your EDM’s breakout artists to watch. Recent live show support for Jason Ross on his Insomniac’s Atlas residency brought in big excitement, which saw over 20k concurrent viewers. Support from A list acts includes Illenium, Marshmello, Slander, Seven Lions, Alan Walker, Don Diablo, The Chainsmokers, Gryffin, Krewella and many more. Far Out’s “Worlds Apart” has over 6 million streams across platforms since it’s initial release, with heavy music score elements and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Far Out Remix)” has accumulated over 100 Million views on Youtube & Soundcloud. In total, Far Out has seen 60 Million Spotify Streams, 200+ Million Youtube Views and 7.5 Million Soundcloud Streams.

Ossama Al Sarraf and Ned Shepard quickly discovered a natural musical chemistry after a chance meeting in Montreal’s mid-2000’s after hours club scene. Since then, the two have established themselves as one of dance music’s leading partnerships through collaborations with revered EDM artists such as Dillon Francis, Tiësto, and Fedde Le Grand, and remixes for major pop acts like Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, and Madonna. The 2012 release of their anthemic single “Walls” vaulted them on tour across the globe with stops at Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland, Mysteryland, and a residency at the Wynn in Las Vegas. Their remix of Bruno Mars’s “Locked Out Of Heaven” earned them a Grammy nomination in 2013. In the summer of 2017, Sultan and Ned reunited with singer Nadia Ali to release the folk inspired dance anthem “Almost Home” also featuring NYC based songwriter Iro. Almost Home went to #1 on the Billboard Dance Charts and was nominated for a Juno Award for Best Dance Recording.

Pretty Lights Announces Return After 5-Year Hiatus
Five years since the iconic producer’s last performance, Pretty Lights announces his highly anticipated return to music. Renowned electronic artist Pretty Lights has made a comeback after an extended hiatus of almost five years, marked by a dearth of public appearances and musical releases. The DJ and producer, who gained significant traction in the festival circuit of the 2010s with chart-toppers such as “Finally Moving” and “Rainbows and Waterfalls,” has not performed live since 2018 and has not produced any new music since 2017. On Tuesday, April 4, the artist resurfaced on social media to disclose the Soundship Spacesystem Tour and convey a fresh message to his admirers. “I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time and am immensely grateful to be healthy and happy and surrounded by amazing people,” said Pretty Lights (real name Derek Vincent Smith). “I feel recharged and more ready than ever to launch a new vision of PL music and live events. Can’t wait to share everything that’s coming. And fam, seriously, thank you so much for your endless love and support. Thank you for all the positive energy while I took time to focus mine. It’s a new dawn and I can’t wait to see you all again shining bright. lfggggggg.” The Soundship Spacesystem Tour, headlined by Pretty Lights, is set to cover nine destinations across North America, including Denver, Lake Dillon, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Chicago, Pelham, San Francisco, and New Orleans. The itinerary for the tour is yet to be fully disclosed, with the exception of The Caverns in Pelham, Tenn. The tour will consist of 27 shows, with multiple performances by Pretty Lights in each of the nine cities. Additionally, Pretty Lights has been announced as one of the headliners for the upcoming Suwannee Hulaween, a three-day music festival at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park in Florida scheduled for October 26-29. Although not listed as part of the tour, this event will feature the artist’s performance. In a separate announcement, it was revealed that Pretty Lights will also headline the inaugural Cascade Equinox festival taking place in Redmond, Ore. this September. Produced by the team behind the renowned Gem & Jam festival in Arizona, the new event promises to be another remarkable addition to the artist’s itinerary. Incorporating fresh elements to his performances, Pretty Lights will present two new types of shows during his Soundship Spacesystem Tour: Pretty Lights in Dub and The Fantastic Pretty Lights. The latter is anticipated to be a collaborative effort with long-time friend Michal Menert and The Pretty Fantastics. A new, yet-to-be-titled track that appears to reflect his re-entry into the industry, was performed by Pretty Lights in the tour announcement video. The lyrics state: “I’ll fly a starship across the universe tonight/ And when I reach the other side/ I’ll find a place to rest my spirit if I can/ Perhaps I may become a pretty light again/ Or I may simply be a single drop of rain/ But I will remain/ And I’ll be back again.” The track is available to listen to below. Following his last live appearance at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 2018, where he headlined the venue with his live band over two sold-out nights, Pretty Lights, whose real name is Derek Vincent Smith, retreated from the industry without any formal explanation. He erased his social media presence and began an unannounced hiatus, leaving his dedicated fan base in suspense.
