Acclaimed electronic producers Ookay and Bailo, operating as the dynamic trap duo TRICKSTAR, had released their second single, ‘Halfstep’, on September 12th, as part of their high-energy forthcoming EP under Steve Aoki‘s influential label Dim Mak Records. Since then, many fans, especially those who are avid aficionados of the trap and bass genres, have been turning up the volume to enjoy this electrifying banger all around the world.
‘Halfstep’ shows why TRICKSTAR are a duo to notice more in the EDM industry
Having electrified audiences around the world, TRICKSTAR is firmly establishing their dominance with remarkable performances at Bangkok’s prestigious High Water Music Festival and a series of sold-out shows, including a takeover at the Hollywood Palladium by Tape B. Furthermore, this release comes on the heels of their powerful remix of DJ Snake and Space Laces’ iconic anthem ‘Reloaded’, the track that ignited the world’s largest mosh pit—now expertly reimagined with TRICKSTAR’s signature trap sound.
‘Halfstep’ showcases the undeniable talents of Ookay, whose breakout hit ‘Thief’ captured global attention in 2016 with over 100 million streams, and Bailo, the powerhouse trap producer behind underground favorites like ‘Kamikaze’ and ‘Fucciboi’, each surpassing the million-stream milestone. As TRICKSTAR, they are on track to make a significant and lasting impact on the trap music scene in 2025.
The duo explaining how the track came to be
“‘Halfstep’ was one of the first tracks we worked on when we went to Bangkok, so we just wanted to create a fun festival trap record based on the vibes of the trip!”
