New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Due out March 1, the upcoming POWERLINE EP is Los Angeles-based DJ and producer Valentino Khan's love letter to his ride-or-die audience who have proven to stick with him through his evolution and the waves of exploration in his sound. Although he made his name in the world of house music, Khan decided to dive into the world of techno, a sub-genre with groundbreaking momentum in the dance community.
To celebrate the new EP, look for Khan to return to Los Angeles' east side music destination The Echoplex in Echo Park on Thursday, February 29 for the next installment of his underground party POWERLINE. He will be joined by a round of secret guests where they will perform new music alongside favored underground cuts. The wildly-popular POWERLINE party sold-out in presale within hours but fans can also still catch Khan in select cities over the next few months. Dates follow below.
"This isn't me abandoning house music or any other genre. I have a lot more in store with all of that soon," says Khan. "This is just me branching out as an artist. I was at a point where I felt a bit bored musically and felt there needed to be a shake-up in some ways. For me, the initial appeal of the whole scene was that my favorite artists were always trying to deliver you something you hadn't heard before. I wanted to keep that alive."
The POWERLINE EP-which includes his latest single "Satellite" featuring Bipolar Sunshine and the upcoming blazing techno instrumental "Television" set for release February 16-serves as an extension of the Los Angeles party started by Khan of the same name. The event prioritizes community and in-the-moment human experience and always delivers moments to remember through its tradition of an entirely secret lineup. Diplo, Alison Wonderland and more have stepped outside the box to play techno sets at Powerline--a callback to Khan's early days in the scene where you could encounter a surprise performance from your favorite acts in an intimate setting.
