Lido Credits Skrillex, Madeon, Halsey And More For The Production Of A Single Off His New EP

Lido has become synonymous with quality production over the last few years. The Norweigan producer is best known for his outside the box production methods, clean, crisp records and his innate ability to inject layers of emotion into his music. This past Friday Lido released his new EP, I O U 2. The lead-off single from the new EP, ‘Ex’, has quickly become a fan favorite.

Lido took to social media today to give shout-outs to those who helped produce the track. While fans knew they loved ‘Ex’, the sheer amount of talent that went into this tune is what has people talking the most.

Lido credits Skrillex, Madeon, Halsey, DJ Slow, Kiara Ana and several others who provided instrumentation for the tune. This is quite literally The Avengers of production powerhouses for EDM. Check out the new single below.

A Producer’s Producer Getting His Flowers

Lido has quietly built one of the more respected behind-the-scenes résumés in modern pop and EDM, having contributed to records for massive names before ever fully stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist himself. Publicly crediting a lineup this stacked, artists who are massive names in their own right, isn’t something every producer bothers to do, and it reflected the kind of collaborative, credit-where-it’s-due culture Lido has consistently championed throughout his career.

I O U 2 Continued A Defining Creative Streak

‘Ex’ and the rest of the I O U 2 EP carried forward the emotionally rich, genre-blurring sound that made Lido such an in-demand name among artists across pop, hip-hop, and EDM alike. Pulling in contributions from artists spanning so many different corners of music, from Skrillex’s electronic sensibility to Halsey’s pop songwriting instincts, gave the project a genuinely collaborative feel that set it apart from a typical solo producer release, and it’s exactly the kind of boundary-crossing work that’s kept Lido in such high demand as a collaborator ever since.
