Marshmello, renowned for pushing boundaries in electronic music, is returning to the foundational sounds that played an integral role in cementing his legacy as one of today’s most innovative producers.
Fresh off releasing his latest EP, ‘The Roots,’ a 10-track collection channeling his trademark blend of hard-hitting trap and melodic bass, the acclaimed DJ and producer is inviting fellow artists to tap into their own creativity with the official #RemixTheRoots challenge.
In collaboration with SoundCloud — where he first began dropping gems and connecting with day-one fans over a decade ago — Marshmello is offering an opportunity for artists to remix the high-energy trap banger, “Just Can’t Stop.”
“I decided to drop the ‘Just Can’t Stop’ stems for everyone to remix because this was the first song I made for the ‘The Roots’ project,” the Joytime Collective label boss shares. “This song reminds me of my roots and my beginnings in trap music.”
