SLANDER

About

SLANDER, the Los Angeles-based duo of Derek Andersen and Scott Land, has redefined the boundaries of electronic music with their emotionally charged, genre-blurring soundscapes. Known for their signature "heaven trap" style, they seamlessly fuse melodic dubstep, trap, and future bass with cinematic flourishes, creating anthems that resonate deeply with their global fanbase. Emerging from the underground bass music scene, SLANDER gained traction with their 2014 breakout hit "Nuclear," a collaboration with fellow producer NGHTMRE, which became a festival staple and cemented their reputation as innovators. Their career trajectory has been marked by a relentless drive to evolve, from early remixes of artists like Skrillex and Zedd to headlining major festivals like EDC Las Vegas and Ultra Miami. SLANDER’s music often explores themes of love, loss, and redemption, striking a balance between raw energy and emotional vulnerability. This duality has earned them a devoted following and collaborations with industry heavyweights such as Gryffin, Illenium, and Said the Sky. Beyond their music, SLANDER has cultivated a unique artistic identity through their label, Heaven Sent, which champions melodic bass music and emerging talent. Their recent projects include the ambitious "Thrive" EP, a testament to their growth as producers and storytellers. With a relentless touring schedule and a commitment to pushing sonic boundaries, SLANDER continues to shape the future of electronic music, one euphoric drop at a time.
