SVDDEN DEATH, whose real name is Daniel Howland, is not just an ordinary DJ – he is a visionary who pushes dubstep far beyond its boundaries. His concerts are renowned for their shocking moments that defy gravity and genre conventions. Even the star Marshmello fell for him, joining forces with him on the track “Sell Out.”
Daniel grew up on deathcore and trance, and it was this combination that led him to his own production, which initially reflected the influences of names such as Skrillex, Burial, and Porter Robinson. However, the definitive breakthrough came in 2017, when he released his debut EP Spelljam under the name SVDDEN DEATH.
He revealed what was really hidden in it with the EP VOYD Vol. I (2018). The single “Behemoth” racked up tens of millions of streams. The project was then accompanied by a concert where the musician levitated directly above the stage. The epic sequel VOYD Vol. II (2022) became the cornerstone for his own festival, Summoning of the Eclipse. Daniel then joined forces with Marshmello again for a historic back-to-back set at EDC Las Vegas 2023. The fan response was so crazy that the duo subsequently released a full-length project, MELLODEATH Vol. I (2024), with which they embarked on a successful tour.
