UNKNOWN BRAIN RETURNS TO NO COPYRIGHT SOUNDS FOR 13TH BIRTHDAY LABEL RELEASE ‘WONDER’ FT. RARIN AND BRI TOLANI!

For the final week of their 13th Birthday campaign, NCS welcomes back label royalty Unknown Brain who have collaborated with 21 year old hip hop artist Rarin for new trap summer banger ‘Wonder’.

Electronic powerhouse duo Unknown Brain and Rarin have a combined monthly listener impact above two million. Unknown Brain are best known for their NCS smash ‘Superhero’ which has over 156 million streams. They have been mainstays of this label for almost a decade.

In that time they have continued to evolve their sound and serve up ever bigger hits while collaborating with the freshest artists in the scene. They recently unveiled ‘Welcome to Chapter III’ which sees them transitioning from pop to a blend of their new signature styles while melding the worlds of AI and human creativity and emphasising their belief that 'music is faceless'.

The impossibly catchy 'Wonder' is a fresh and futuristic sound with pitched up vocals that bring heartfelt emotions over a big, bold trap-infused and hard hitting dance beats. More human vocals add some smoky soul to mark this a perfect fusion of musical worlds that takes dances ever higher as it unfolds in electric fashion.

This is another sure fire smash from this iconic pairing that ends NCS's 13th Birthday campaign in epic style.

ODDKIDOUT DEBUTS ON OPHELIA WITH “UPSIDE DOWN / TOMB”

“UPSIDE DOWN / TOMB” is the debut Ophelia release from multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer OddKidOut. The release features “UPSIDE DOWN”, which jumps between trap, breaks and speed house with vocals from RUNN and ear candy for sound design enthusiasts. The B-side “TOMB” is a relentless bass banger with subwoofer rattling production and festival stage-ready drops.

With an innovative sound that embodies darkness and grit through lush instrumentation, OddKidOut makes music for the underdog. Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the 29-year-old multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer has spent most of his life behind a drum kit, performing in a multitude of touring bands by the young age of 13. Having eventually swapped the drum kit for a finger drum controller and Ableton while still in his formative teenage years, OddKidOut’s unique brand was born.

The 2017 release of OddKidOut’s breakthrough EP ‘Solstice’, which released on Skrillex’s imprint OWLSA, cemented him as a standout within the electronic music scene, garnering high praise from all corners of the industry. Since then, OddKidOut has released on a plethora of labels including Insomniac’s imprints BASSRUSH, Hard Records and Lost in Dreams; artist-driven labels Ophelia, Fool’s Gold, Mau5trap and Bitbird; and major labels such as Warner, where he released his official remix of NLE Choppa’s viral hit ‘Slut Me Out 2’ in 2024. With support from Skrillex, deadmau5, NGHTMRE, A-Trak, Seven Lions and San Holo, the breakout artist looks to the future of his diverse and innovative sound. OddKidOut is the amalgamation of his many influences, from metal to hip-hop to ambient, who’s fusing his penchant for percussion with moody electronic flare to create a sound uniquely his own. As he takes on concert and festival stages across the globe with his high-energy live show, OddKidOut’s story is only just beginning
