Valentino Khan and
Kayzo‘s new track “
Novocaine” should come with a warning label: not for the faint of heart (or hearing). Prepare for an assault to the senses from the start of the track, which begins with intense hardstyle-influenced percussion.
Khan uses this as a warm up to deliver jarring, distorted synths and a heavy dose of bass, melding elements of trap and drum & bass to make “
Novocaine” a hybrid of modern bass music. The track, which is out on
Diplo‘s
Mad Decent record label, follows a huge announcement from
Khan: he will be playing his biggest live show to date at the
Hollywood Palladium on March 9th, joining the ranks of legendary artists who have graced the iconic venue’s decks before him. Attendees can expect to hear new music like “
Novocaine” as well as
Khan‘s popular tracks from the last year, including “
Feel Your Love” and “
Lick It.”
The world was introduced to
LA-based DJ and producer
Valentino Khan in 2014, when he burst onto the scene with his debut
EP “
In Khan We Trust” on
Skrillex‘s
OWSLA label.
Khan‘s sound possessed a unique versatility, incorporating elements of trap, bass, hardstyle, house and more into a driving, oftentimes heavy sound that found homes on labels such as
Mad Decent,
Spinnin Records and
Ultra. In 2015,
Khan‘s original track “
Deep Down Low” became an international sensation, earning the title of “
Most Played Track Of The Year” and topping
Sirius XM’s
#1 Song of 2015 on
Electric Area. Since then, he has earned a reputation as a remix master with official renditions of
RL Grime‘s “
Pressure,”
Alison Wonderland‘s “
Good Enough,”
Calvin Harris‘s “
One Kiss” and more. His recent original productions include “
Pump,” which has over
17M streams on
Spotify, “
Gold” with
Sean Paul, as well as production credits for the likes of
2 Chainz,
B.O.B.,
Dizzee Rascal,
Iggy Azalea,
T.I. and more.
Khan has set the stage for a strong 2019 with the release of “
Novocaine,” so look out for more massive releases coming soon!
