After more than a decade of shaping the global soundscape, Marshmello is ushering in a bold new chapter for Joytime Collective with the launch of Jumpstart Vol. 1—a fresh compilation series designed to elevate the next wave of electronic innovators. Leading this high-voltage introduction is none other than KILLMATTER, whose latest single “BALENCIAGA BARBIE” sets the tone for the future of the label.
Powered by adrenaline-charged breakbeats, distorted basslines, and raw vocal delivery, “BALENCIAGA BARBIE” is a blistering ode to the hedonistic chaos of Miami nightlife. Drawing on trap, experimental bass, and futuristic club influences, the track offers a genre-defying listening experience that’s both high fashion and high impact.
“I was driven to make something fast-paced to resemble the lifestyle in Miami while still captivating the trap sound,” explains KILLMATTER. “I think the world needs more crossovers and blending of genres.”
Born in New York City and raised in Florida, KILLMATTER has emerged as a standout force within the electronic underground. His hybrid production style—melding cinematic textures, aggressive sound design, and his own vocals—captivated listeners on his breakout debut EP DON’T EAT THE FRUIT earlier this year. Tracks like “COWBOYGHOST 3024” and “PERCOCET FREEMASON” earned him praise for turning personal unrest into club-ready chaos.
Jumpstart Vol. 1 marks a turning point for Joytime Collective, blending a decade of Marshmello’s genre-bending ethos with a platform that champions boundary-pushing creators. Featuring a previously unreleased Marshmello track alongside breakout voices like KILLMATTER, the compilation is a launchpad for artists shaping the next era of electronic music.
“BALENCIAGA BARBIE” is available now on all streaming platforms via Joytime Collective.
