Free the Universe

A maximalist explosion of global dance rhythms, neon synths, and heavy bass. This is the sound of a 2013 festival mainstage compressed into a single hour.

It's like a Caribbean carnival crashed into a Las Vegas rave and everyone invited their most famous friends.

An explosive, neon-hued celebration of global rhythm and digital chaos.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the ethereal, indie-leaning vocals of Get Free into the crushing dubstep-dancehall hybrid of Jah No Partial

The relentless, high-speed horn loop in Watch Out for This (Bumaye) that triggers an immediate physical response

The minimalist, clicking percussion of Bubble Butt that builds into a surreal, bass-heavy earworm
