LUM!X, MOLOW Drop Electro Halloween Anthem “Trick or Treat”
The witching hour has arrived, as electro-house crypt keeper and rising star LUM!X teams up with MOLOW for the sensationally spooky new single, ‘Trick or Treat’. Building on the astounding success of recent collabs with Gabry Ponte like ‘Monster’ (189 million streams) and more recently, ‘Thunder’, LUM!X’s newest release invites listeners to rave from the grave, fuzing his signature triplet infused house sound with addictive and candy-coated vocals – howling at you now on Spinnin’ Records.
For ‘Trick Or Treat’, the rave mastermind joins forces with MOLOW, the new masked mystery duo on the block. It’s a more than fitting gathering, as these guys know how to drop a candy-coated bass bomb.
Sure enough, this record gets the blood pumping. You’ll hear the threatening vocals coming at you before you’ve even opened the door. Enhanced by dark piano chords and sinister drum rolls, the creepy chants guide the way towards a blazing drop. ‘Trick or Treat’ brings a series of raw beats you won’t be able to escape from, charged with nicely rolling triplet rhythms and punchy synth chords.
You’ll get your freak out for sure, once ‘Trick Or Treat’ hits the floor. With its uptempo beats, haunting vocals and mesmerizing effects, LUM!X and MOLOW ensure goosebumps with 2021’s electro Halloween anthem.
How the collaboration came together
By late 2021, LUM!X had already established himself as one of Spinnin’ Records’ most reliable hitmakers, with the Gabry Ponte collaborations ‘Monster’ and ‘Thunder’ racking up huge streaming numbers and cementing his triplet-driven, big-room-meets-electro sound. Pairing with MOLOW, a newer masked act on the label, gave ‘Trick or Treat’ a mysterious identity to match its seasonal theme, and let LUM!X hand off some of the spotlight while still delivering the production polish fans expected from him.
A seasonal tradition in dance music
Halloween-themed singles had become something of an annual ritual across the EDM scene by the early 2020s, with acts timing spooky, bass-heavy drops to release right around the holiday to capture seasonal playlist placements and radio spins. Trick or Treat’ fit squarely into that tradition, using dark piano lines and horror-movie chants to build atmosphere before delivering the kind of festival-ready drop LUM!X’s back catalog was built on.
Why it mattered
Coming off two viral hits with Gabry Ponte, ‘Trick or Treat’ showed LUM!X could carry a single without a big-name co-sign attached, while giving MOLOW a strong introduction to a wider audience through Spinnin’s platform. It’s the kind of release that doesn’t necessarily redefine an artist’s career, but keeps momentum going and adds another reliable seasonal anthem to a growing catalog.
