[EDM.com] ILLENIUM and Kid Cudi Are Working on New Music

ILLENIUM has linked up with Kid Cudi in the studio, hinting at a potential dream collaboration.

The chart-topping DJ and producer took to his Instagram Story this week to share an image from a studio session with Cudi as well as a pair of Grammy-winning musicians, Jean Baptiste and Victor Thell.

For fans of both artists, this collaboration represents a natural evolution rather than a surprising departure. ILLENIUM has consistently pushed the boundaries of electronic music with punk and alt-rock influences while Cudi has never shied away from experimental soundscapes that defy traditional hip-hop constraints.

It's the latest foray into electronic music for the iconic rapper and singer-songwriter, whose track "Pursuit of Happiness" remains a generational dance anthem. Earlier this month, Cudi joined house music superstar Dom Dolla onstage at Madison Square Garden, where the two debuted a stunning collaboration.

It's important to note that neither Cudi nor ILLENIUM has formally confirmed a new single at the time of this writing. Check out an image from their studio session below.
