Denver based Nick Miller, better known by his stage name ILLENIUM, has won the hearts of dance music aficionados worldwide through his captivating remixes and enthralling original productions. While there are a myriad of melodic bass producers on the scene, ILLENIUM has distinguished himself with his unrivaled ability to create immersive emotional experiences. Displaying an adeptness for creating aural arrangements that vary in style, beauty, complexity, and emotional depth, ILLENIUM’s impeccable sound design has truly established him as one of the best producers in the game. His stunning records come to life in his live show, incorporating keyboards, drum pads, and cutting-edge lighting and visuals, all of which combine to create an immersive experience.
ILLENIUM’s debut ‘Awake Live’ performances throughout 2017 captivated audiences across the country, and sold out some of the most renowned venues nationwide, such as The Shrine, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, Aragon Ballroom, WaMu Theater, and Terminal 5. 2017 saw ILLENIUM release his second critically acclaimed studio album Awake, which was listed in Billboard’s ‘10 Best Dance/Electronic Albums of 2017’. With over 100 million streams and the number one spot in the iTunes Electronic Dance Charts in 12 countries, the LP is one of ILLENIUM’s most impressive projects thus far. His remix of Flume’s ‘Say It’ landed him an Electronic Music Award for ‘Best Remix’ of the year, and 2017 saw him surpass the 1,000,000,000 stream mark across his discography. In addition to selling out the majority of his debut headlining live tour and his recent tour through Asia, ILLENIUM has also performed at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, EDC, Decadence, Electric Forest, and Paradiso among others, and played Coachella for the first time in 2018.
The new album, ASCEND, represents the entire scope of ILLENIUM’s expansive, entrancing, and engaging vision. Once again, he elevates his signature sound with majestic melodies, intriguing instrumentation, and genre-defying songcraft. He introduced this chapter by way of his single “Good Things Fall Apart” with Jon Bellion. During its first week at radio, it became “#1 Most Added at Alternative.” Additionally, it debuted at #13 on the Billboard Dance chart. Attracting acclaim, Billboard dubbed it, “a happy slice of emo-inspired with a side of radio pop.”
