Chicago’s hottest new producer has taken the area by storm with his fresh new sounds. AREA51 grew up in a small city called Glendale Heights where he started his career as a DJ and producer. Originally taking inspiration from the YouTube sensation, DJ BL3ND, AREA51 was mentored by the likes of Deorro and other top producers in the area. Since then, the space trap phenomenon has taken over locally playing The Mid, Debonair, and other local spots all over Chicago.
With a sound best described as “astronaut music”, AREA51 shows he has no signs of slowing down with consistent releases in the last few months including ‘NEED TO KNOW’ and ‘TAKEOVER’. His recent track ‘SPACE COUPE’ really gives us an idea of just what he is capable of. With wild sound design accompanied by crazy fills, one shots, and mind blowing synths, this new track will leave you speechless.
‘SPACE COUPE’ starts with a very daunting melody, giving you a feeling as though you’re in another dimension. As the song progresses, it gets heavier with every next drop. With a unique style and incredible percussion, AREA51 leaves you holding on for more.
Be sure to give ‘SPACE COUPE’ a listen below and be on the lookout for more upcoming releases of his.
