TRICKSTAR return with a surge of festival-ready energy on their latest release, “Halfstep,” out September 12 on Dim Mak. The track delivers a hard-hitting blend of punchy drums, digital kicks, and a razor-sharp synth line, locking in an adrenaline-fueled rush built to set dancefloors ablaze.
“Halfstep was one of the first tracks we worked on when we went to Bangkok, so we just wanted to create a fun festival trap record based on the vibes of the trip!” shares TRICKSTAR. That sense of unfiltered fun and explosive energy translates directly into the music, making the track an instant crowd-igniter.
The duo first broke onto the scene with a high-profile collaboration alongside Marshmello, which racked up millions of streams and set the stage for their meteoric rise. They quickly followed with standout releases alongside rising bass star Eater, while their massive 2025 debut at EDC Las Vegas solidified their status as one of bass music’s most thrilling new acts.
Formed by former solo artists Ookay and Bailo, TRICKSTAR is known for their intricate production style, infectious aesthetic, and relentless high-energy performances. Their debut appearance came at Brownies & Lemonade’s sold-out Real Trap Sh!t party in Los Angeles, and they have been unstoppable ever since. “Halfstep” marks their third consecutive release on Dim Mak, following the equally explosive singles “Redemption” and “Left Right.”
With “Halfstep,” TRICKSTAR prove once again that they are pushing trap into bold new territory, balancing festival firepower with playful creativity, and setting themselves apart as one of the most exciting names to watch in bass music.
