Illenium, The Godfather of Bass

Illenium, the Godfather of future bass, has popularized a sub-genre of electronic music in a way that not many have before. Mixing massive supersaw synths with radio-friendly vocals from acts like Jon Bellion, the producer and DJ has managed to create a sound that appeals to fans with all tastes and preferences. He was the recipient of the first Remix of The Year award at the EMA’s in 2017 and his list of achievements grows with every release.

We'd like to assume Illenium will be playing into the night, as many other euphoric DJ artists have in the years past, whether it was White Panda or The Chainsmokers for instance. Since neither of those acts will be performing this year, (although we cannot prove this) we're projecting Illenium to become the new norm for closing out the show. 

First State Studios Top 3 Songs We Hope To See Performed At Firefly

1. Good Things Fall Apart (with Jon Bellion)
The dynamics of this song prove EDM can be truly beautiful and euphoric. 

2. Takeaway (with The Chainsmokers)
Off the Ascend album, although the Chainsmokers can't make it this year, they will live through Illenium.

3. Feel Good (with Gryffin)
Do you have your light sticks ready?
