Though Derek and Scott have been perfecting their craft since 2010,
SLANDER has entered the dance music scene with the feel of an
overnight success story. Veteran DJs and skilled producers, SLANDER
has crafted their own genre dubbed "Heaven Trap" with a devout
following. Despite their rapid rise, they are no stranger to the
industry's top producers, including Skrillex, DJ Snake, Flosstradamus,
Diplo, Bassnectar, Porter Robinson, RL Grime, Yellow Claw, Bro Safari,
Snails, and Carnage. Their Nuclear Bonds EP was a stand-out release
from dance music’s top underground label, Mad Decent. After dozens
of remixes, their first big vocal hit, a Heaven Trap original entitled
“Love Again” featuring vocalist WAVZ, garnered over one million
listens on Soundcloud and was also championed by Diplo’s Mad Decent
imprint. With past performances at EDC Las Vegas, Nocturnal
Wonderland, TomorrowWorld, Electric Zoo, EDC Orlando, EDC Mexico,
Something Wicked, Sun City Music Festival, Contact Music Festival,
Sunset Music Festival, Ilesoniq, Moonrise, LifeInColor, and Global
Dance at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheater primarily on the main
stage, SLANDER has had the opportunity to show that their tracks are
festival worthy. They went on the Gud Vibrations tour with best friend
NGHTMRE and played historical venues such as the Hollywood Palladium,
The Rave, Concord Music Hall, Ogden Theater, Stereolive, Ram’s Head
Live, The Observatory, Playstation Theater, The Fillmore and many
more. They did this all while holding down a monthly residency at the
#1 nightclub in the United States, XS, whose other DJs include
megaclub juggernauts Avicii, Deadmau5, David Guetta, and Zedd. Besides
the top clubs and festivals in the U.S., they've headlined in Paris,
Geneva, Milan, Athens, and other European cities as well as performed
at Europe’s premiere dance festival - Tomorrowland. They’ve now
hit Australia, New Zealand, India, and Asia on multiple headline tours
and their international profile grows daily. From an early age, Dylan
was always very passionate about music. From singing as soon as he
could speak to learning piano at age 4, Dylan’s life has been
dedicated to music. In late 2015, Dylan decided to start pursuing
music as his career and has never looked back. Through a few uploads,
Dylan was able to kick-start a local fan-base. In 2016, Dylan started
writing music for electronic acts which opened brand new doors. Over
the past 3 years Dylan has released 38 singles and multiple
collaborations, working with artists like Slander, Excision, Seven
Lions, and more. Dylan has written some of the top electronic songs of
the year, including 2 songs on the Billboard Dance Top 50, and strives
to continue that streak. Through this he has been consistently a
top-artist to watch among the industry. Slander and Dylan Matthew will
be starting a U.S. tour together starting in January of 2019.
