Adventure
Los Angeles-based Cheat Codes (Matthew Russell, Trevor Dahl, Kevin Ford) get a leg up (or 9 lives if we’re sticking to the Contra code) by cleverly merging together their diverse backgrounds, a myriad of genres that range from electronic to hip to pop, and live instrumentation that ensures nobody sounds quite like them. Together they embody all the best elements of their namesake.
The trio’s latest single, “Adventure,” a mixture of electronic and organic instruments, tight production, and sanguine themes set to no shortage of instantly hooky melodies. The infectious opening synth hook sets the perfect tone for a cascade of goodness to follow that will have you dancing throughout and leave you thirsty for more. Buy “Adventure” on iTunes.
