It's ultimately about ambition and about choosing yourself and your job over someone you love. It's one of our favorite songs we've ever written, in part because it comes from such an honest and real place,” shares SOFI TUKKER.  “It's not the style of song we usually create, which tends to be more fun and light. So collabing with deadmau5 and Kaskade for their Kx5 project felt like the perfect fit. They bring it into this dark techno world which amplifies the drama while making you dance. Somehow it feels so appropriate to have that soft emotional vocal followed by such a dark drop. We've been playing it out a bunch in our sets and it goes off every single time. It's an honor to have a song with such legends. In fact, they created one of our favorite songs of all time, ‘I Remember’ which strikes that perfect balance between dance and emotion." Look for “Sacrifice” to appear on Kx5’s self-titled debut album set for release March 17.   Pre-save for the album is available now at: https://kx5.ffm.to/album

Photo cr: Leah Sems About Kx5: When Kaskade and deadmau5 first partnered on their 2008 smash “I Remember,”—heralded by Rolling Stone as one of the top 100 dance music tracks of all time--the pair were leading names in the rapidly expanding electronic music scene that enraptured a generation of music lovers across America. 14 years later, the duo has formalized their occasional collaborations and long-running friendship into an official project, Kx5, with a self-titled album that carries on the genre-defining spirit of their early work with the additional excellence that comes from a decade and a half of studio and onstage experience for each.  Those “different things” are evident in the evolving sound of Kx5 since the project was announced in March 2022 with the release of “Escape.” The debut single carried on the tradition of sleek melodic house music first heard on “I Remember” (and its follow-up “Move For Me”), securing significant Top 40 radio play (the first for either artist) and eventually becoming the #1 dance track of the year in 2022.  However it was just the starting point for months of sonic exploration that resulted in tougher-sounding songs like “Alive” featuring The Moth & The Flame (TMTF), “Avalanche” and “Take Me High.”  Kx5 has already established their ability to draw crowds as large as the biggest stars on the charts today. The duo’s first performance at Electric Daisy Carnival in May 2022 packed out the Circuit Grounds stage beyond capacity, while the pair’s December 2022 headlining gig at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum smashed records (the show broke records landing it as the largest single-day concert event headlined by an electronic music artist ever in North America per Pollstar with Billboard confirming Kx5 at the Coliseum as the biggest ticketed global headliner dance event of 2022), proving their popularity.   Follow Kx5 Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Subscribe
