Cheat Codes

Los Angeles-based electronic trio Cheat Codes debuted in 2015 with their single &quot;Visions,&quot; a floor-filling, radio-ready bite of house in a vein similar to <a href="spotify:artist:1vCWHaC5f2uS3yhpwWbIA6" data-name="Avicii">Avicii</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1h6Cn3P4NGzXbaXidqURXs" data-name="Swedish House Mafia">Swedish House Mafia</a>. Each of the group&#39;s three members -- Kevin Ford, Trevor Dahl, Matthew Russell -- has deep roots in L.A., working on individual projects before joining forces for Cheat Codes. Their different backgrounds helped inform Cheat Codes&#39; stylistically varied sound, which can range from warm pop to outright big house bangers. After the release of &quot;Visions,&quot; they quickly followed with the tropical-tinged &quot;Don&#39;t Say No&quot; (featuring <a href="spotify:artist:4Om4kO491KUeVkwTLiVQq3" data-name="Dresses">Dresses</a>), &quot;Senses&quot; (featuring <a href="spotify:artist:5PxCTrv3Y1xVACfngpt7D2" data-name="Lostboycrow">Lostboycrow</a>), and &quot;Adventure&quot; (featuring Evan Gartner). As they gained exposure on social media and spins on streaming services, they joined <a href="spotify:artist:69GGBxA162lTqCwzJG5jLp" data-name="The Chainsmokers">The Chainsmokers</a> on tour. Successive singles continued to drop in 2016, when they unveiled a pair of global hits, &quot;Sex&quot; (featuring <a href="spotify:artist:4LcUpNlXFEleaLlelmkv2R" data-name="Kris Kross Amsterdam">Kris Kross Amsterdam</a>) and &quot;Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)&quot; (with <a href="spotify:artist:1b4DN8Vj0dnj5cceMFsRYN" data-name="Dante Klein">Dante Klein</a>). The following year they released their biggest feature yet, &quot;No Promises&quot; with <a href="spotify:artist:6S2OmqARrzebs0tKUEyXyp" data-name="Demi Lovato">Demi Lovato</a> on vocals, and embarked on the No Promises world tour (taking them to the U.S., Europe, and Australia).
