Few artists in modern electronic music have balanced emotional weight and mainstage scale as consistently as ILLENIUM, and his new album ODYSSEY pushes that balance further than ever. Out now via Republic Records, the project marks his sixth studio release and brings together a wide-ranging cast of collaborators including Ellie Goulding, Kid Cudi, Zeds Dead, and Bring Me The Horizon, reinforcing his reputation for bridging genres without losing cohesion.
The road to ODYSSEY was paved with a steady stream of singles, most notably “In My Arms” featuring HAYLA, which earned a nomination for Best Dance Song of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. The album’s focus track, “Don’t Want Your Love,” places Ellie Goulding’s unmistakable voice front and center, framed by ILLENIUM’s punchy, high-impact production. Across the record, he moves fluidly between melodic bass, rock-leaning anthems, and atmospheric moments, threading the styles together into a narrative arc that feels intentional rather than scattered.
To mark the release, ILLENIUM staged a special album launch performance at Pier 80 Warehouse in San Francisco, debuting new material for fans just ahead of the official drop. The show underscored the scale and ambition of the project, translating its emotional peaks and cinematic drops into a shared live experience.
That sense of scale carries directly into the next chapter of his live career. In March and April, ILLENIUM will become only the second electronic artist to headline Sphere in Las Vegas, presenting a nine-night run of ODYSSEY shows inside one of the most technologically advanced venues in the world. With its wraparound LED display and immersive sound system, Sphere offers a custom-built canvas for what is shaping up to be his most visually and sonically ambitious production to date. Special guests across the run include Alok, Dab The Sky, Wooli, Levity, Audien, Ray Volpe, SLANDER, DJ Diesel, and Tape B, adding further dimension to the performances.
The album arrives amid sustained momentum for ILLENIUM, who has amassed more than 10 billion global streams and earned a GRAMMY nomination for Fallen Embers. His catalog includes crossover hits like “Takeaway” with The Chainsmokers and Lennon Stella, “Good Things Fall Apart” with Jon Bellion, “Crawl Outta Love,” “Hearts on Fire,” and “Nightlight.” From early releases like Ashes to later milestones including Awake, Ascend, and his self-titled album ILLENIUM, he has helped define the emotional, melodic side of bass music while headlining major stages such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC, Ultra, and Madison Square Garden.
With ODYSSEY, ILLENIUM refines that legacy into a project that feels both expansive and personal, pairing high-profile collaborations with the emotional clarity that first drew listeners in. It’s an album designed not just to be heard, but to be experienced at full scale — on headphones, in arenas, and soon, inside one of the most immersive live environments ever built. Get tickets HERE.
