Louis The Child with Jai Wolf & Wavedash
Louis The Child: Louis The Child is a Chicago-bred production duo comprised of Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett. With their stadium-ready yet endlessly inventive brand of electronic pop, the Los Angeles-based musicians have amassed more than 510 million streams across all platforms in the past few years alone. In addition to collaborating with major artists like K. Flay and Icona Pop, Louis The Child have brought their experimental sound design, expansive palette, and unlimited emotional range to such hits as “Better Not” ft. Wafia — a 2018 viral smash that’s now surpassed 270 million streams across all platforms. (c/o Insomniac)
Jai Wolf (Club Babu DJ set): Born in Bangladesh, raised in New York City, inspired by everything from indie-punk to hip-hop, orchestral symphonies and the Bollywood classics of his parents, Jai Wolf’s life and music have been defined by a liminal quality that only a third culture kid could understand. It’s that quality that takes center stage in his music, as he slips between references to cultural moments with an ephemeral quality tinged with nostalgia. The sunny melodies and bombastic hooks bely subject matter that often ruminates on loneliness, distance, and a lack of place. This all converges to create an emotional complexity to the music that cuts deeper than the average festival fare.
Wavedash: Texas-based production and songwriting trio WAVEDASH became known for their unique style of meticulous sound design. Luke, Michael, and Gavin arrived on the scene in early 2016 with the release of their debut single “Bang” via OWSLA Records after peaking the interest of early supporter Skrillex. From then on, the trio garnered the attention of Porter Robinson, RL Grime, and Madeon, leading the younger generation of genre-bending producers. With continued renown over the next few years, WAVEDASH look to defy set expectations and push the bar for contemporary electronic music.
