Julian Scanian’s neon pink and blue alter ego Slushii merges twinkly polysynth leads with party-rocking bass lines and recalls the work of contemporaries like Marshmello, Mura Masa and Louis the Child. However, unlike some arena-rattling dance music stars who reach out to guest vocalists to amp up their arrangements, Slushii lends his own voice to his work—singing wistfully over sweet, danceable ditties and fist-pumping bangers. The New Jersey native came up fast after his SoundCloud profile caught fire and then caught the attention of EDM power players like Diplo and Skrillex. He is currently touring behind his debut studio album, Out Of Light.
