Electronic music titans Kx5 (Kaskade & deadmau5) and global sensation, genre-defying duo SOFI TUKKER have been dazzling listeners with their collaborative single “Sacrifice.”  Now, SOFI TUKKER offers a new, more-gentler version of their iconic track with “Sacrifice (ST Mix)” for mau5trap/Arkade.

"’Sacrifice’ is one of our favorite vocals we've ever written and there are so many ways to imagine building out the track so we're really happy we don't have to choose just one! This ST mix is a chiller, more vibey version of the song, to complement the harder-hitting techno style of the original,” shares SOFI TUKKER. “We're really proud of it and honestly listen to it for fun ourselves all the time." 


Upon its single release this past February, the original version of the song resonated in the media:


“...a stunning single…” - EDM.com


“Kx5, the handle behind the electronic jumbo pairing of Kaskade & deadmau5, team up with genre-defying duo SOFI TUKKER for their collaboration ‘Sacrifice.’ You’re welcome!” – KCRW


“An early contender for track of the year has landed.” – Dancing Astronaut


“‘Will you sacrifice for me if I don’t sacrifice for you?’ is the question posed by SOFI TUKKER on the latest single by EDM super duo Kx5. The powerful question soars on top of the layered synths and melodic leads, a question fit for the times, both immensely personal but also a cultural evaluation of a world that so often finds selfish aims in human ambitions." - We Rave You


“‘Sacrifice’ is a booming, big-room track that also infuses a euphoric vocal line from SOFI TUKKER’s Sophie Hawley-Wild. While SOFI TUKKER on their own don’t typically delve into music this heavy, the collab works wonders.” – This Song Is Sick


“The track is the hardest from all involved’s discography. The techno-esque production includes a touching melodic break together with wonderful vocals – outside of this it’s all energy thanks to the banging drops and sounds.” – CULTR




The original version of “Sacrifice” appears on Kx5’s debut self-titled album which is now available for additional listening enjoyment via spatial audio in Dolby Atmos via Apple Music. Listen now here: https://music.apple.com/us/album/kx5/1676361995

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,” “Take Me High,” and “Sacrifice” with SOFI TUKKER. 


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.
