Globally renowned producer and DJ Slushii has released his hotly awaited new album ‘E.L.E (Extinction Level Event)’. Three years in the making, the 14-track LP marks the first album release of 2022 for Monstercat. E.L.E sees Slushii bring a breath of fresh air as he reimagines his dubstep roots with trap-inspired beats, melodic bass, and a futuristic pop-fueled edge. Having attained a meteoric rise from the very beginning, his signature sounds blend seamlessly with the talents of the featured artists.
“This album is the culmination of three years of my best work. I really felt that there was a need for an album to revive the early 2010’s brostep machine, and fix it up with some new modern tech! This is a slow burn type of album, and one I hope you listen to front to back that can stand as a new beginning in the book of Slushii!”

“Carousel” comes as the breakout single from the project featuring award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, Kiesza, offering her earworm vocals on the synth-laden adrenaline ride. Also featured on the package is Slushii’s most-streamed single to date, “All I Need” which peaked at #33 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Chart after debuting in his epic Fortnite virtual concert. Slushii has continued to be a pioneering artist in the gaming space with multiple syncs in Rocket League and a custom skin tracked to “Valhalla” in SMITE.
“Slushii and I met through friends and we instantly bonded over our nerdiness. We’ve worked on a few projects together before and we’ve been sitting on some music for a while now. I’m so excited we finally get to release ‘Carousel’ into the world! It was a ton of fun to record.”

‘E.L.E’ is largely inspired by Slushii’s deep-rooted passion for Anime and Japanese culture, evident in the album and singles artwork, as well as the characters that make up the E.L.E storyline. He’ll take his audiovisual universe on the E.R.U. spring tour across the US, with stops at Ultra Music Festival, NY’s Marquee, LA’s Academy, and more iconic venues. Tickets are available here.
