"With all that’s going on in the world, it’s great to just take a step back and find what really matters."
There's no doubt longtime fans of ILLENIUM will feel at home listening to his new single.
With its melancholic keys, resonant drum hits and pitched vocal chops, the track, "All That Really Matters," has all the hallmarks of a signature ILLENIUM anthem. And a stentorian Teddy Swims delivers a typically stunning vocal performance, retrospectively offering sage advice to a younger version of himself.
Swims' visceral lyricism cuts deep through ILLENIUM's poignant future bass production like a hot knife through butter. "Learning how to live when there's no one around," he croons, "is like learning how to feel when the drugs run out."
Check out the official "All That Really Matters" music video below.
The pair of "McDonalds" remixes are the first Dirtybird releases of 2023.
The renowned multimedia artist launched a GoFundMe campaign to help rebuild his studio, which was built by his late father.
Martin Garrix was just one of many electronic dance music producers to ink a career-making year in 2013.
"This song means so much to me," ILLENIUM said in a press release shared with EDM.com. "With all that’s going on in the world, it’s great to just take a step back and find what really matters. Teddy's voice and performance take it to the next level."
Meanwhile, the Grammy-nominated Fallen Embers artist recently revealed his second "Trilogy" performance, which is scheduled for June 17th, 2023 in Denver. The show's 2021 debut marked the biggest headlining show of ILLENIUM's career. He turned back the clock at Allegiant Stadium, the home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, performing music from his first three albums: Ashes, Awake, and Ascend.
"Trilogy" isn't the only ILLENIUM-branded event primed for its return. He recently announced the sophomore edition of Ember Shores, his curated destination festival, which will hit the beaches of Cancún December 2-4.

Prior to Friday’s release of the original “Story Of My Life,” ILLENIUM has unveiled a raucous, dubstep-influenced version of the pop-punk and emo rap crossover.
ILLENIUM dropped the alt-rock and EDM crossover, tentatively titled “Wouldn’t Change a Thing,” at the Las Vegas music festival Life Is Beautiful over the weekend.
Directed by Najeeb Tarazi, the video is nothing short of sublime.
The remix, ILLENIUM’s first in over two years, was released in celebration of his limited edition “Batman” clothing collection.
The upcoming album follows 2021’s “Fallen Embers” LP, which garnered a nod for the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album.
Matoma also shared a heartwarming video of the moment he proposed to his fiancée, Maren.
The high-profile remix arrives as ILLENIUM records his fifth album.
“Worst Day” is angsty electronic anthem with a punk twist.
