About Cheat Codes

Cheat Codes isn’t just a name; it’s a musical philosophy. The Los Angeles-based trio—Trevor Dahl, Kevin Ford, and Matthew Russell—has spent the last decade rewriting the rules of pop and electronic music, blending infectious hooks with boundary-pushing production. Emerging in 2015 with their breakout hit “Sex,” a reimagining of Salt-N-Pepa’s classic, they quickly became synonymous with genre-defying anthems that feel both nostalgic and futuristic. Their sound is a kaleidoscope of influences, from the euphoric energy of Swedish House Mafia to the emotional depth of indie-pop, creating a sonic universe that’s as unpredictable as it is irresistible. Collaborations have been central to their rise, with tracks like “No Promises” featuring Demi Lovato and “Only You” with Little Mix showcasing their ability to elevate any artist’s voice while maintaining their signature style. Their 2022 album *HELLRAISERS, Part 1* marked a bold new chapter, diving deeper into storytelling and experimentation. Critics have praised their knack for crafting songs that feel both personal and universal, while fans flock to their high-energy live shows, where every beat feels like a shared moment of catharsis. As Cheat Codes continues to evolve, they remain unafraid to take risks, blending genres and emotions with a fearless creativity that keeps them at the forefront of modern music. With a growing catalog of hits and an ever-expanding vision, they’re not just playing the game—they’re changing it.
