Fusing intimate emotion with explosive energy, Slushii teams up with melodic rap artist Seddy Hendrinx for “Wanna Be The One,” a track that commands your full attention. Following the cinematic intensity of February’s “It’s Not Over (Til It’s Over),” this latest release marks the second single off “Operation: Overload” — Slushii’s forthcoming EP, out next Friday, April 25.
In tandem with the single, Slushii is also dropping the official music video at 12:15pm EST. Directed by Station 3 Media, the video stars content creator Morgpie, whose magnetic presence elevates the narrative into a modern love story layered with feeling and finesse. The visual matches the song’s emotional pull with kinetic storytelling and visual energy.
In “Wanna Be The One,” Slushii dims the lights and sharpens the focus while still delivering the sonic punch that’s become his signature. A laid-back trap rhythm pulls listeners in with hypnotic ease, gradually building toward a burst of energy that disguises heartache in motion and melody.
Slushii – Wanna Be The One
Seddy Hendrinx steps in over the returning trap beat, his smooth, emotionally raw verse gliding with ease before the track swells into a rush of vibrant arpeggios, thick basslines, and shimmering detail.
It’s a track that captures the contradiction of modern love: intense yet uncertain, joyful but haunted. With each layer, “Wanna Be The One” draws listeners through waves of tension and release, culminating in a moment of catharsis that’s felt as much as heard.
The single follows a string of high-impact releases from Slushii, including a star-powered remix by The Chainsmokers of his viral track “Past Lives”—a rare collaboration between his main moniker and ambient alias sapientdream.
As momentum builds towards his “Operation: Overload” EP, Slushii is proving there’s no ceiling to his sonic universe—just new dimensions waiting to be revealed. In addition to the EP, fans can expect a string of exciting projects and announcements rolling out throughout the summer as Slushii continues to expand his creative universe.

Malou reflects on the creation of “Feel The Love“: “The song was created on a sunny day in Los Angeles! We made this one within minutes because we truly felt it! ‘Feel The Love’ isn’t just about a person, it’s about feeling the love in general! And we definitely felt the love that day.”

A tradition that began as a simple concept—one artist, one guest—has grown into a cultural cornerstone, setting the standard on The White Isle with its unexpected pairings, undeniable selections, and unforgettable nights on the dancefloor.
Brimming with memorable moments, the 2025 season will feature Solomun playing all night for four pivotal dates – the opening, June, July, and closing shows – offering fans the fully immersive sets that his legend is built on.
Fresh from a showstopping audiovisual performance at The Sphere in Las Vegas, and with his latest remix of Empire of the Sun‘s “Television” teasing a colorful, indie-leaning summer sound, Solomun arrives in Ibiza with momentum, clarity, and an appetite to surprise.

Peggy Gou returns to +1 after a multi-season break, while The Dare—rising out of New York’s fashion, art, and nightlife scenes—adds a dose of edge to an already stacked lineup.
