Valentino Khan’s name first started popping up on YouTube and SoundCloud playlists around 2012 when he produced instrumentals for the likes of B.o.B. and 2 Chainz. From there, the Los Angeles-based DJ and producer branched out into EDM with a little help from his buddies at two highly influential record labels—Skrillex’s OSWLA and Diplo’s Mad Decent. One of the best-known pieces he’s contributed to is Major Lazer’s completely bananas summer jam “Bubble Butt.” But for our money, his hottest single is “Deep Down Low”—an undeniably infectious piece of white-knuckled deep house goodness.
