LA-based KSHMR is back with a massive new release that celebrates an equally significant milestone in the form of “Devotion,” a club record he’s been taking on tour in honor of his 10-year anniversary as a DJ and producer under the KSHMR moniker. Always one to embrace his Indian heritage as well as honor other cultures around the world, he teamed up with Thai artist 22Bullets for the new track. “Devotion” fuses hard-hitting basslines with dynamic instrumental synths and KSHMR‘s trademark melodies, making for a truly entrancing sonic experience that breaks away from genre constructs and exists in an exhilarating category of its own, all built around the famous sample from Nomad‘s 1990’s hit “(I Wanna Give You) Devotion.” The track has already proven to be a favorite during KSHMR‘s live sets on his North American club tour and Ultra Music Festival Miami Main Stage performance last month, which celebrates a decade of the KSHMR project since the 2014 debut of “Megalodon.” Thailand‘s 22Bullets has previously collaborated with the likes of David Guetta, Ty Dolla $ign, Fedde Le Grand, and more, and has released music on KSHMR‘s Dharma imprint; home to electronic dance music from around the world. Their previous collaboration “It Isn’t Me” released on the label in 2022. Catch “Devotion” live and see KSHMR live on tour this year.

“I’ve been wanting to work with 22Bullets on a track for my sets for a long time; he’s one of my favorite up-and-coming producers that’s released on my label Dharma before. He’s also one of the few producers representing Thailand in the electronic scene. Flipping this sample was the perfect collaboration, I knew it would get big reactions live. It’s been a big hit throughout my sets on this club tour celebrating 10 years of KSHMR.” – KSHMR

“Working with Niles on this second collaboration is an honor. I had always wanted to do a club track with him and this one fits perfectly for our sounds. Working on this classic sample has been fun and I feel we made something exciting for the fans.” – 22Bullets

KSHMR

Niles Hollowell-Dhar is a globally acclaimed artist who originally began in hip-hop and moved into pop music with the 2010 global smash “Like A G6.” From there, he transitioned into dance music, producing tracks like the 2013 hit “Tsunami.” Next, he launched his own artist project, KSHMR, and took the scene by storm with 10 Beatport #1, such as “Wildcard” and KSHMR‘s most streamed hit to date – “Secrets“‘ with Tiësto. After releasing his debut album “Harmonica Andromeda,” he firmly cemented his reputation as one of the most dynamic and diverse acts in global electronic music, gaining DJ Mag‘s prestigious “Best Live Act” award. As a pioneer and music enthusiast who values creative freedom, he created his Dharma Worldwide label in 2017 and, subsequently, Dharma Studio in 2020, where producers can find his tutorials and sound packs. His sound pack series “Sounds of KSHMR” is among the most used in modern music, and his latest release, “Sounds of KSHMR” Vol. 4′ debuted as the #1 pack on Splice and has remained in the Top 10 since. In 2023 we saw KSHMR release his eagerly anticipated collaboration with MC Stan “Haath Varthi,” taken from his album “KARAM,” which dropped in November 2023 and featured the biggest artists in Indian hip-hop.

22Bullets

The Thai producer and DJ 22Bullets burst onto the scene with the hit “Everybody In The Party” in 2020. Since then, his career has soared, and with his ranking as no. 76 on DJ Mag Top 100 in 2024 (no. 83 in 2023), 22Bullets growth continues and he has cemented his position as one of the world’s most current and successful DJs. Today, 22Bullets doesn’t just listen to his idols – he has become one. In fact, he is the first Southeast Asian DJ to ever appear on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list of the most high-profile DJs in the world. An achievement that emphasizes why some of the biggest stars – from David Guetta and Bebe Rexha to Fedde Le Grand and KSHMR – have collaborated with the Thai DJ. And with more than 100M streams across all digital music platforms, stage performances with the likes of Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and deadmau5, and at venues like World Club Dome in Germany and as the headliner at festivals like Ultra Music Festival and Creamfields, 22Bullets is ready to take the next steps in expanding his career outside of Asia. 22Bullets‘ music always has an emotional touch – something that reveals his personality and gives listeners a dynamic and moving experience. The 22Bullets universe focuses heavily on melodies, which are meant to take the audience on a unique journey – from the first to the last song in his set. Therefore, one experiences much more than just the typical bangers when 22Bullets takes the stage. With megahits like “Bang Bang” and “Mr. BigBoom,” he demonstrates his musical intelligence and unique approach to club music, and with high tempo and dynamics, they fulfill 22Bullets‘ mission to make music that is as non-static as possible. As a global priority with the record company Spinnin’ Records, 22Bullets has established himself as Southeast Asia‘s most recognized and biggest DJ.

Inaugurating the launch of Hannes Bieger’s label, Elektrons, is ‘Black Hole’, the beguiling cut that started it all. Born out of a desire to create a space to explore, embrace and expand his unique sound, Elektrons is a bold extension of Hannes’ vision and purpose. The platform represents his extraordinary abilities as a producer, performer and engineer; innate talent that has seen him travel around the globe picking up a huge following along the way. With Elektrons he embarks on a new adventure, where his
progressive and melodic techno sounds have a home to grow and thrive.

This adventure begins with the aptly-titled ‘Black Hole’. The mesmerising cut is the product of one of Hannes’ many jam sessions in his studio. A dedicated student of the analogue school, Hannes revels in experimenting with sounds through his modular set up. The track went viral and attracted over 20 million views after Hannes posted a clip of it on his socials, demonstrating that it resonated with people all over the world. This sparked the idea of launching his own platform, and the process began… ‘Black Hole’ sees Hannes channelling Giorgio Moroder, composing a hypnotic bassline that encapsulates the mid-70s protohouse disco sound. From this entrancing foundation, he builds a typically emotive arrangement, bright melodic layers juxtaposed with the pulsating low end. The tension builds progressively, guiding the listener towards a soul-nourishing breakdown.

Hannes’ grasp of dance floor-friendly arrangement is evident in the effortless way in which he brings together various layers to tantalise and captivate throughout. As is typical of Hannes’ productions, this is a cut that moves the body and soul in equal measure. Dance floor groove and energy, with emotionally-charged elements that are designed to trigger unforgettable moments. A statement of intent, ‘Black Hole’ marks a brand new chapter for Hannes Bieger and signals the launch of his label Elektrons. A harmonious marriage of rhythm and melody with Hannes’ unique fingerprints all over it, this cut sets the bar high and gives a clear indication of the direction he’s taking with Elektrons.
