In a groundbreaking collaboration that blends the past, present, and future of bass music, dance music titan Seven Lions and rising genre-defying producer YDG join forces for the first time on the electrifying new single, ‘Man Down‘—out now on Ophelia Records.
The track is a sonic rollercoaster that captures the essence of both artists’ distinctive styles with robotic wobbles, old school dubstep leads, and trance-inspired arpeggios, all anchored by the haunting, emotionally-charged vocals of Bella Renee. The result? A head-turning anthem that pushes the boundaries of melodic bass and experimental sound design.
Seven Lions, the moniker of Jeff Montalvo, has long been revered as a pioneer of genre-blending in electronic music. Since his breakout remix of Above & Beyond’s ‘You Got To Go’ in 2012, he’s carved out a singular path—releasing genre-melting hits like ‘Strangers,’ ‘Rush Over Me,’ and ‘Need Your Love.’ With his 2022 debut album Beyond the Veil and high-profile collaborations through 2024, Seven Lions continues to evolve while headlining global stages like Red Rocks, Ultra Miami, and Electric Forest. Through Ophelia Records, he’s created a platform that not only champions melodic bass but also nurtures the next generation of genre-pushers.
YDG, one of bass music’s most buzzed-about new talents, is experiencing a meteoric rise. With a sound that straddles dubstep, experimental bass, and viral remixes, he’s earned co-signs from heavyweights like Zeds Dead, John Summit, and DJ Diesel. His remix work—especially on ‘You & Me,’ Marshmello’s ‘Bad Boys,’ and the viral ‘Go Back’—has racked up millions of plays. Following a 23-stop YOU + ME Tour that sold out venues across the globe, YDG is cementing his place as both a studio wizard and a crowd-moving performer.
On vocals, Bella Renee delivers an unforgettable performance. Known for her magnetic blend of sultry vocals, heavy-hitting bass, and raw, heartfelt lyrics, Bella has quickly become a force to be reckoned with. Since launching her project in 2021, she’s surpassed 50 million streams, earned features from EDM.com and Dancing Astronaut, and released on elite labels like Monstercat, Bassrush, and Dim Mak. Her upcoming drum and bass EP on Dim Mak marks a historic first for the label and positions her as a pioneering voice in the genre.
