New York producer Exstra has revealed another hypnotic single with the release of ‘All I’ll Ever Know’ featuring vocals by the celestial singer MØØNE via the Enormous Chills imprint. The incredible single premiered on esteemed tastemaker House Music With Love. This October Exstra will be performing at the prestigious New York dance music festival We Belong Here alongside the likes of Kaskade, Monolink, Fisher and Stephan Bodzin.

‘All I’ll Ever Know’ follows the recent release of Exstra’s single ‘Frozen’, which was featured in notable publication Magnetic Magazine and received airplay by Nora En Pure on Purified Radio 404 & 409, as well as spins by AVIRA on The Sound Gallery 002, which all aired on Sirius XM. Exstra boasts 1.4 million streams across platforms, making waves with releases on renowned record labels like Colorize, Enormous Tunes, and Zerothree. He has received radio support from KISS FM and SiriusXM, and publication support from EDM Identity and collaborated with vocalist Britt Lari (Tep No, Big Gigantic and CloZee) on the track ‘Let Go’, with more vocal collaborations slated for the coming months. He performed for the We Belong Here music festival in Miami in February 2023 (alongside headliners Kaskade and Lane 8) and as DJ support for Martin Roth the following month. He graced the stage at We Belong Here music festival in NYC on May 24th, 2024.

From Valley Stream, New York and currently residing in The Big Apple, Steven Landis grew up listening to a lot of poppy electronic music in the late 90s (Robert Miles, Le Bouche, A Touch of Class, Pete Konemann, etc). His foray into the world of electronic music began slowly. He dabbled in cello in elementary school, but it didn’t stick. He then joined the school choir in middle school and was selected to join a more exclusive chorale in high school, travelling to Rome and Florence for performances and even sung in the Vatican – but it was after seeing Avicii live during his time in university that inspired him to become a DJ. He began performing as Exstra at parties and local nightclubs in Washington, DC (Shadowroom, Opera, etc.). After graduating in 2013 and moving to NYC, he played at just about every nightclub in the city between 2013 and 2020. Gaining traction, he was also booked for international gigs in Paris and Cambodia during that period. In 2020, Covid lockdowns led him to pursue music production, honing his skills and landing his first record deal with Enormous Chills four months later.

Exstra’s sonic palette blends dark analogue sounds together with beautiful organic tones to create music that keeps you hypnotised on the dance floor. Influenced by Nora En Pure, Cassian, Camelphat and Joris Voorn, his music is sure to be enjoyed by fans of the above, as well as those of Sultan & Shepard, Le Youth, Tinlicker and Eli & Fur.

‘All I’ll Ever Know’ begins with a twinkling arpeggio that echoes and reconfigures itself throughout the rest of the song. The track is intricately crafted, featuring gentle progressive rises and undulations and beautiful, atmospheric synths over an infectious beat that weaves its way in and out. MØØNE’s soulful vocals breathe life into the track, her cadence remaining measured yet brimming with passion, creating an uplifting mood that’s bound to get the listener moving.
