After years of spinning up remixes and nabbing choice production credits—remember Major Lazer’s ridonkulous 2013 banger, “Bubble Butt?”—Los Angeles DJ Valentino Khan finally has an EP of his own. Khan released House Party on Diplo’s Mad Decent label over the summer. The collection blends trap, dubstep, moombahton and hardstyle together into an infectious six-song set and features team-ups with Chris Lorenzo and the maestro himself, Diplo, who joins Kahn on “JustYourSoul.” The steady and hypnotic track is a master class in pulling the maximum amount of ass-shaking beat out of a minimal sonic palate.

Valentino Khan’s name first started popping up on YouTube and SoundCloud playlists around 2012 when he produced instrumentals for the likes of B.o.B. and 2 Chainz.

Valentino Khan’s name first started popping up on YouTube and SoundCloud playlists around 2012 when he produced instrumentals for the likes of B.o.B. and 2 Chainz. From there, the Los Angeles-based DJ and producer branched out into EDM with a little help from his buddies at two highly influential record labels—Skrillex’s OSWLA and Diplo’s Mad Decent. One of the best-known pieces he’s contributed to is Major Lazer’s completely bananas summer jam “Bubble Butt.” But for our money, his hottest single is “Deep Down Low”—an undeniably infectious piece of white-knuckled deep house goodness.
