Illenium is the recording alias of Nicholas Miller, a producer and DJ who brings unabashed sentimentality and melodicism to festival-ready dubstep and trap. After debuting with several singles in 2014, he began releasing guest-heavy full-lengths starting with 2016's Ashes. All three of his albums reached the Top Ten of Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, and 2019's Ascend hit number one.
Originally from San Francisco, Miller began producing electronic music in 2008 and moved to Denver in 2013, where he performed and released music as Illenium. His self-titled debut EP appeared on Los Angeles-based Prep School Recordings that year, followed by Risen in early 2014. The releases were well-received within the EDM community, and Miller issued additional singles as well as remixing songs by ODESZA, Dawn Golden, Oh Wonder, and others. He's performed at festivals including Decadence NYE and Global Dance Festival, in addition to solo tours. His single "I'll Be Your Reason" was released by Nest (a sublabel of Skrillex's OWSLA label) in 2015, and his full-length debut, Ashes, appeared in early 2016 on Seeking Blue and reached number six on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
His debut studio album titled ”Ashes,” that peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart. He has distinguished himself from the myriad of others through an unrivalled ability to create an immersive experience which has captivated audiences across the country.
In that album, there is a song title “It's All On U” featuring Liam O'Donnell was published on 9th of August 2016. This song is my first introduction to this great DJ and this song making me fell in love with the genre Progressive House because of the amazing beats and rhythm. Progressive house is a style (subgenre) of house music. The progressive house style emerged in the early 1990s. It initially developed in the United Kingdom as a natural progression of American and European house music of the late 1980s. Progressive House is one of my, if not the favourite EDM subgenre alongside Future House, Hardstyle, Trap, Tropical House, Melodic Dubstep and Drum step.
Awake In 2017, Illenium returned with his second full-length album, Awake, which peaked at number three on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart. A remix set of that album arrived the next year, along with a slew of singles, including "God Damnit" with Call Me Karizma and "Gold (Stupid Love)" with Excision and Shallows. More singles continued to appear in 2019, including "Pray" featuring Kameron Alexander and "Good Things Fall Apart" with Jon Bellion, leading up to the August release of Illenium's third LP, Ascend. Issued by Astralwerks, the album topped Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart and reached number 14 on the Billboard 200, helped by the success of the hit single "Takeaway," a collaboration with the Chainsmokers and singer Lennon Stella.
Personally, "Takeaway" is one of my favourite song produced by them. This song by American production duo The Chainsmokers and American EDM musician Illenium, featuring Canadian singer Lennon Stella. It was released as a single on July 24, 2019, along with its music video, serving as the fifth single from both artists' third studio albums World War Joy and Ascend, respectively. The single became The Chainsmokers' seventh, and both Illenium's and Stella's first, number one on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart in November 2019. The music video, directed by Jeremiah Davis and produced by That One Blond Kid Corp, was uploaded to YouTube on July 24, 2019. The video was filmed in New York City at the Vessel, a massive staircase sculpture in the Hudson Yards development. The interactive art installation is the work of Thomas Heatherwick.
