Dance music powerhouse GRYFFIN and rising bass producer YDG unleash their highly anticipated collaborative single “The Feeling”, out now via 10K Projects. The track marks a defining moment for both artists, blending GRYFFIN’s emotional, melody-driven style with YDG’s hard-edged bass energy to create a festival-primed anthem built for peak-hour chaos.
“The Feeling” drives deep into the realm of emotional bass, fusing soaring progressive builds with thunderous drops that capture the intensity and freedom of the dancefloor. For GRYFFIN, it reveals a bold new direction—one that leans heavier, darker, and more explosive, while still carrying the cinematic DNA that has shaped his global rise. For YDG, it showcases his evolution from viral remixer to fully fledged collaborator, stepping confidently into the spotlight alongside one of dance music’s most influential producers.
The synergy between the two didn’t happen overnight. Over the past year, GRYFFIN and YDG have built a genuine creative connection. GRYFFIN first dropped YDG’s remix of “You & Me” during his Coachella Do LaB set—an electrifying moment that quickly turned the remix into a staple across his shows. That moment later led to YDG’s official remix of GRYFFIN’s PULSE hit “MAGIC”, solidifying a musical chemistry that naturally evolved into “The Feeling.”
Reflecting on the collaboration, GRYFFIN shares: “The highlight of my 2024 Coachella DoLaB set was YDG’s remix of ‘You & Me’. After that show, it ended up in nearly every set of mine for the rest of the year. Mikeey’s music and remixes have managed to break through all the noise and be a big part of dance culture in the last couple of years, and it was a no-brainer to work on something together. ‘The Feeling’ is one of those collaborations where fusing our sounds felt almost effortless. Been teasing this one for a long time now and I think y’all are ready for it.”
YDG adds: “Getting the chance to collaborate with GRYFFIN was such a cool experience and our sounds worked perfectly together here. I’m so happy with the way ‘The Feeling’ came out!”
The release closes out a monumental year for GRYFFIN, who delivered a run of high-impact singles and heavyweight collaborations with artists including Kaskade, Excision, GRiZ, and LAVERN. Tracks like “In My Head”, “Air”, “Hard Time Lover”, “Higher Power”, and “Deep Clear Water” have further cemented his position as one of dance music’s most sought-after producers. His momentum continues into the winter with upcoming appearances at Contact Winter Music Festival, HiJinx, and Provenance during New Year’s weekend.
Meanwhile, YDG continues to rise as one of bass music’s most exciting new voices. Known for his viral remixes and kinetic originals, he has caught the attention of industry heavyweights including Marshmello, John Summit, Sub Focus, SIDEPIECE, Two Friends, ARMNHMR, and of course GRYFFIN. His collaborations with Seven Lions and Łaszewo, along with releases on Deadbeats, Monstercat, and HypnoVizion, showcase the depth and versatility of his sound. He is currently on his You + Me Forever Tour, bringing his high-energy sets to fans around the world.
Now available on all platforms, “The Feeling” is not just a collaboration—it’s a statement from two artists pushing dance music forward, merging emotion and impact into a track destined to leave its mark on stages everywhere.
