LOS ANGELES, CA – Multiplatinum trio Cheat
Codes are featured on the special double cover of RYM Magazine, celebrating their new album,
Future Renaissance, and a decade of fearless
reinvention. The exclusive cover story delves into the journey of a group that has amassed over eight billion global streams and redefined what a modern pop act can be. The issue is available now.
From their breakout hit “SEX” to the
platinum-certified smash “No Promises” (feat. Demi Lovato), Cheat Codes—Kevin Ford, Trevor
Dahl, and Matthew Russell—have built a career on a foundation of genre-blurring collaboration and innovation. Rolling Stone praised their ability to "finess[e] hits by collaborating with stars from across the pop spectrum," a sentiment echoed by Billboard, which called them "EDM visionaries that build a pop-crossover career." Future Renaissance, released in celebration of their 10-year anniversary, is a testament to this creative evolution.
The 14-track album is a vibrant sonic journey through themes of love, resilience, and reinvention. It features an eclectic array of collaborators, including five-time GRAMMY® winner CeeLo Green on the single “Go To Hell,” Train on “Bloom,” and contributions from artists like Kenny G, LP, and Izzy Bizu.
In their interview with RYM Magazine, Cheat Codes discuss their strategic approach to longevity and the creative process behind their latest album. For the trio, the journey is everything, a philosophy that has guided them through genre shifts—from pop and dance to country with legends like Dolly Parton—and onto festival stages worldwide, including Ultra, Lollapalooza, and Stagecoach.
The exclusive cover story is part of a special double edition that offers an in-depth look at the band's remarkable career and their vision for the future.
