Dynamic duo TRICKSTAR, the powerhouse collaboration between Ookay and Bailo, is set to shake up the trap scene with their electrifying debut on Insomniac’s BREAK ROOM Records. Their latest single, “SWITCH”, dropping February 14th, fuses the raw energy of classic trap with a cutting-edge modern twist, delivering an adrenaline-fueled anthem primed for festival mainstages.
A Cinematic, High-Octane Soundscape
Opening with an eerie 8-bit-inspired melody, “SWITCH” quickly escalates into a relentless barrage of blistering horn stabs, thunderous sub-bass, and razor-sharp drum patterns. Infused with video game elements and a dystopian cinematic edge, TRICKSTAR crafts a genre-defying track designed to dominate the dancefloor.
The Vision Behind TRICKSTAR
Formed by two of bass music’s most innovative minds, TRICKSTAR embodies the unfiltered energy of trap’s golden era while pushing the genre into uncharted territory:
Ookay – A key architect of the American trap movement, known for hits alongside Diplo, DJ Snake, and Borgore, as well as electrifying performances at EDC Las Vegas, Red Rocks, and beyond.
Bailo – The New York-born producer with a gritty, hard-hitting sound, rising from the underground with releases on Buygore and co-signs from Riot Ten, Herobust, and DJ Snake.
Their combined vision for TRICKSTAR has already yielded massive success, with their debut single “Bad Boys” (featuring Marshmello) amassing over 1.2 million streams and earning support from Excision, Illenium, and Ray Volpe.
A New Era for Trap Music
Building momentum, TRICKSTAR dropped a scorching rework of Flosstradamus and Viperactive’s “HITA”, alongside DJ Snake’s alter-ego, The OUTLAW. Their high-energy performances—supporting Tape B at the Hollywood Palladium and Chicago’s Ramova Theatre—have solidified them as a dominant force in the live circuit. With an Asia mini-tour lined up for April, their global takeover is just beginning.
Get Ready to Flip the “SWITCH”
More than just another trap banger, “SWITCH” is a bold statement of intent—a fusion of nostalgia and innovation that cements TRICKSTAR as one of the most exciting acts in the scene.
TRICKSTAR’s “SWITCH” is out February 14th via BREAK ROOM Records.
