From a career on Wall Street to the electrifying world of speed house music, CHYL has proven that breaking free from societal norms and expectations can lead to extraordinary success. As the genre’s leading female producer, she has set a path for women in the EDM scene, capturing the attention of heavyweights like Steve Aoki, Marshmello, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. She has graced the stages of iconic festivals such as Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, and HARD Summer, leaving audiences in complete awe. CHYL’s soundscapes are a perfect reflection of her racing-inspired persona: energetic, fast-paced, and relentlessly thrilling. Embracing her unique brand, she has taken her shows to unconventional venues like auto repair shops and K1 speed arenas, turning every performance into a high-octane experience. By merging her passion for speed with her musical talent, CHYL is not only redefining the EDM landscape but also accelerating towards the top.
Skybreak is renowned for his ability to blend intricate melodies with emotive and jazzy bass, a unique sound that has garnered him support from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Illenium, Alison Wonderland, and SLANDER. Skybreak’s impressive list of performances include major festivals such as EDC Las Vegas and Rampage Open Air. His music resonates with a wide audience, drawing in fans who appreciate the depth and technical skill in his work – this has led him to secure three records in the top ten songs of Monstercat’s ‘Best of 2023’ compilation album. Skybreak is on a clear path to becoming the next big thing in melodic bass.
In “Euphoria Rush,” not only did the duo blend their signature speed house and melodic, colour bass soundscapes, but they ventured into new territory with an experimental techno drop, exploring various versions of the kick drum and bass combo. The result is an off-the-walls anthemic tune, packed with catchy melodies and unpredictable drops.
CHYL shares, “Skybreak and I had the idea of trying to combine melodic bass and speed house since it’s the same BPM. We tried a couple different variations of the drops and honestly loved all of them, so we kept them all and ended up with 3 different drops! Speed house, melodic bass, and techno. The drop variation and strong vocal hook keeps it moving forward, and I hope this tune can become a Monstercat favorite!”
Skybreak adds, “My followers should be well aware by now that I’m a fan of willing hilariously unexpected collabs into existence. So when I saw speed house queen CHYL was making her debut in my hometown of NYC earlier this year, the concept of a Speed House x Colour Bass crossover instantly invigorated us both. We absolutely speedrun this tune in time for the show, and the result was exactly as the title would suggest, euphoric and FAST PACED!”
CHYL is on a huge run of shows, gearing up to take over Breakaway Mass in September, a sold-out show at Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco, 45 East opening for Habstrakt, and more here. Skybreak is set to take the stage at Lost Lands this fall and has a back-to-back performance with Ace Aura at the iconic Hollywood Palladium in December with other shows on the horizon here.

Skybreak Bio
Jack “Skye” Ramsay –better known by the name Skybreak– is an American electronic artist, best recognized for his distinctly jazzy, emotive style of bass music, which has earned him DJ support from ILLENIUM, Alison Wonderland, Spag Heddy, PhaseOne, Barely Alive and more. He made his festival debut in 2021 at EDC Las Vegas and has since toured with Dabin and SLANDER.
Ramsay was born in New Jersey in 2002 to an exceptionally musical family. He began playing drums at age 6, sharing numerous jam sessions with his father, a guitarist. Ramsay performed in his school’s jazz band and took several songwriting classes at a local music school. In 2014, his knack for songwriting naturally evolved into an interest in music production.
The Skybreak project first took flight in 2016 and has yet to settle down. Scores of Skybreak releases span across the years, including two full length albums, several EPs (including the forest-themed Lumina EP and the collaboration-filled Unity EP) and even a few official remixes for names like Said The Sky, Dabin, Chime, William Black, Motion City Soundtrack, Ace Aura, Oliverse, Mokita, Josh Bogert and Crystal Skies
Skybreak’s music manages to hit a sweet spot between heavy festival sound design and pure musicality that very few artists can reach, largely shaped by his love of video game and anime soundtracks.
