When two of dance music’s most influential producers collaborate, expectations are naturally sky-high. However, when ILLENIUM and Marshmello join forces alongside rising vocal sensation SACHA, the result is a massive, emotional crossover hit designed to dominate festival mainstages worldwide. Their latest release, ‘Close My Eyes’, seamlessly blends melodic future bass with high-energy pop-EDM production.
‘Close My Eyes’ was first teased during the 2026 Ultra Music Festival in Miami. ILLENIUM debuted the unreleased track during his mainstage set, surprising the crowd by bringing out Marshmello to join him for the reveal.
The track serves as a testament to the duo’s dynamic partnership. ILLENIUM provides the cinematic, emotional weight that his dedicated fanbase craves, while Marshmello infuses the production with his signature polished, mainstage energy. SACHA acts as the essential glue, delivering a soaring vocal performance that transforms the composition into an instant singalong.
This collaboration marks another milestone in their shared history. In 2017, ILLENIUM famously remixed Marshmello’s smash hit ‘Silence’ featuring Khalid. While the two previously teased an unreleased demo titled ‘No Regrets’ around 2022, that project was ultimately shelved due to label clearance issues. Beyond the studio, the pair solidified their chemistry as performance partners with a special b2b set at Red Rocks in 2026.
Marshmello continued to build momentum for the release by performing the track live with SACHA at Untold Festival in Romania. Fans can now stream the official release across all major platforms.
