Whether an album is on the way remains to be seen, but it&#8217;s a safe bet considering ILLENIUM &#8220;has tirelessly been working in the studio crafting his most ambitious project to date,&#8221; Republic said in a press release shared with <em>EDM.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>ILLENIUM&#8217;s latest original music marks a fascinating evolution for the beloved producer, who has spent years perfecting the art of making festival crowds weep through soaring bass drops. &#8220;Refuge&#8221; and &#8220;Ur Alive&#8221; find him trading his signature melodic bass theatrics for anthemic house music, a compelling departure for the Grammy-nominated artist.<\/p>\n<p>Anchored by Norma Jean Martine&#8217;s crystalline delivery, &#8220;Refuge&#8221; builds like a Christopher Nolan dream sequence as ILLENIUM&#8217;s hypnotic production swells like vapor.
