SLANDER, the multi-genre DJ duo from Los Angeles, have made remarkable strides since their breakout 2014 remix of "We Like to Party." Comprising Derek Andersen and Scott Land, the pair met at the University of California, Irvine, and later honed their craft at the renowned Icon Collective production school, where they crossed paths with fellow DJ Nghtmre, leading to a fruitful collaborative partnership.
As SLANDER gained confidence, they elevated their performances from local gigs to major festivals, showcasing their talent for crafting a distinctive melodic trap sound. Bolstering their catalog through releases like the Nghtmre-assisted "Nuclear Bonds" on Diplos Mad Decent label, the duo have also impressed with their remixing prowess, reworking tracks for the likes of Gorgon City, Showtek, and Arty.
One of SLANDERs most acclaimed remixes was their take on Above & Beyonds "Love Is Not Enough," which exemplified their ability to blend melodic and trap elements. This unique style has earned them invitations to headline high-profile festivals such as Electric Zoo, Electric Forest, and EDC, captivating audiences with their energetic trap-trance sound.
The duos growing popularity is reflected in their impressive Spotify following of over six million monthly listeners. From their humble beginnings as college friends to their current status as leading figures in the EDM scene, SLANDERs meteoric rise shows no signs of slowing, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their next creative evolution.
