Vanic

Vanic merges dubstep, trap and pop, to create a melodic, uplifting and danceable sound. For “Samurai,” he teams up with U.K. pop singer, Katy Tiz, best known for her breakout hit single “The Big Bang” and its follow up, “Whistle (While You Work It).” Vanic is a pioneer of the electronic/pop-mainstream sound so prevalent on today’s airwaves. The production style of his new original song holds true to that of his cult-classic mixes. When crafting his new tracks, he began with the vocals, adding melodic themes one-by-one. Growing up a metal-head, Vanic pulls inspiration from the melodic guitar riffs he once craved, building them into an electronic soundscape.

Vanic’s buzz began almost three years ago after releasing a remix of Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” on SoundCloud, which instantly became a hit. From that moment, the momentum began. After the release of the critically-acclaimed “Circles,” Vanic truly settled into his trap-pop sound. EDM-lovers began to take notice of his melodic production style, leading to the millions of streams on any given remix (for a total over 80M Soundcloud streams) and the 270K+ SoundCloud followers he has today. Now, with over twenty-one Hype Machine #1’s, each new mix is released to a near viral reaction.

In the first half of 2016, he made the leap from SoundCloud producer to successful touring act alongside Adventure Club, with dates across Canada. That summer, Vanic turned his attention to the festival circuit, spreading vibes at Coachella, Sunset, Moonrise and Firefly Music Festival. Vanic’s live set incites a deep emotional connection with the audience, so much so, that it inspired a proposal during his set at this year’s Moonrise Festival. Vanic’s fall tour, which kicked-off at Electric Zoo and Fashion Meets Music Festival over Labor Day weekend, took him to twenty-five markets across the U.S., through December.
