Steve Aoki Remixes Cheat Codes x Kim Petras Collab, FEELING OF FALLING

Multi-platinum, electronic dance music trio CHEAT CODES (comprised of Trevor Dahl, Matthew Russell and Kevi Ford) recently released "Feeling of Falling," their new single and collaboration with pop sensation KIM PETRAS. The euphoric anthem pairs Cheat Codes' signature sugary electronic hooks with Kim's mesmerizing vocals.

The group are gearing up to release a remix bundle of the track on Friday, 1/18, featuring re-works from the likes of Daniel Blume, Danny Quest, Justin Caruso, and Angemi, as well as Steve Aoki - which isavailable now. Cheat Codes, who are touring with Steve Aoki throughout the UK this February, recently remixed Aoki's collaboration with BTS, "Waste It On Me".

"Feeling of Falling" comes in the wake of another exciting year for Cheat Codes. It follows on the heels of "Only You" which featured Little Mix and its inventive music video featuring TV star, Peyton List. "Only You" hit #1 at UK radio and received critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, TIME and Rolling Stone. Earlier this year, the group was joined by Fetty Wap and CVBZ to take the stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform their single, "Feels Great."

"Feeling of Falling" marks the first time the two artists have joined forces and wrangles with falling in love. Matt of Cheat Codes elaborates, "The feeling of falling in love is great but it's hard not to think about or compare it to past experiences of heart break. It puts you in a really vulnerable place. It can be the best thing but also the worst."

Of the single, powerhouse Kim Petras details, "Feeling of Falling is a song about ending up brokenhearted and trying to stay away from love to protect yourself. I'm the biggest emo so I really connected to the song! Cheat Codes are amazing and I've had the best time collaborating on this one."
