The practice of using ghost producers in the dance music scene is as common as finding a glow stick at a rave – it’s practically a rite of passage! KSHMR recently shared how he gave Borgeous a helping hand by producing one of his early hits.
Birth of a Hit
KSHMR, known for whipping up chart-toppers like he's making Sunday morning pancakes, solidified his status with his work with Far East Movement on the mega smash Like A G6. Recognizing his production prowess beyond his solo act, KSHMR stepped in to help his buddy Borgeous craft the track Tsunami.
“Ghost producers are like magic at Christmas: everyone knows they exist, but few have seen Santa himself!”
Behind the Wave
In a short clip, KSHMR reveals that this practice is quite common in the industry. Back then, Borgeous's label had a thirst for another Martin Garrix hit, looking for something akin to Animal, a massive chart-topping phenomenon. It set KSHMR on the right path to create a sound that literally brought waves crashing onto the EDM scene.
- Highlight: KSHMR heard the label's calls like a DJ to a request for “more bass!”
- Little secret: The track eventually landed in the hands of DVBBS, who dove headfirst into the tsunami vibes!
- Life lesson: Even the biggest producers love to lend a hand to their pals and ride the waves of success together.
