3) Nillionaire
Recommended Videos
A year after his self-titled EP, Alesso released the Dynamite EP through Refune Records. The two songs that he would eventually release through the EP were what originally exposed Ingrosso to Alesso’s music in the first place – after the latter artist’s ex-girlfriend met his father of all people at the coffee shop where she worked and gave him the CD to pass along to his son.
“Nillionaire” marked a significant movement in the direction of what would come to be recognized as the young producer’s signature sound; hard-hitting bass and high-energy electro house effects swirl the beat to a frenetic peak, and a unique bridge after the first drop succeeds in building anticipation for the second.
