When Illenium took the stage at Excision's Lost Lands Music Festival, he unpacked a special treat: his yet-unrelreased remix of Marshmello's Khalid collab "Silence."
Where the original is relatively downtempo, with a simple, trudging beat and emotional chords, Illenium's turns up the brightness and amps up the electric feel with big blasts of melody, strumming guitar, and live drums. It reflects, in that sense, the live work showcased on his recently-released LP Awake.
