THE GRAMMY-NOMINATED ARTIST BUILDS ON THE PERSONAL MOMENTUM OF FIRST LOVE WITH HIS FIRST SINGLE OF 2026
Following the success of his deeply personal sophomore studio album First Love, released last October after years of anticipation, GRAMMY-nominated dance music star Audien returns with his first single of the year, “In Every Life.” The new track is out now via Enhanced Music and available on all streaming platforms HERE.
“In Every Life” opens with a heartfelt, soulful vocal that flows seamlessly into a soaring chorus over an addictive beat, steadily lifting the track’s energy. Anchored by Audien’s signature, crowd-lifting electronic production, the song creates a warm, immersive atmosphere as it unfolds. The melody builds with intention, reaching a powerful emotional high point before easing into a smooth, atmospheric resolution that brings the track to a reflective close.
“This record came from a really honest place,” says Audien. “It’s not about the rush or the high. It’s about what stays with you when everything else fades. In Every Life is probably the most raw I’ve ever let myself be in a track, and I hope people feel that when they hear it.”
The release arrives as a natural continuation of First Love, Audien’s most personal and vulnerable body of work to date. The album was praised for its emotional depth and melodic storytelling, featuring standout collaborations with Skylar Grey, Mike Williams, MAKJ, ARTY, TELYKAST, Shallou, and Julia Church. Rooted in themes of nostalgia, connection, and Audien’s lifelong relationship with music, First Love marked a defining chapter in his career, one that In Every Life now builds upon with renewed clarity and focus.
A veteran of the dance music scene for over a decade, Audien has built an impressive catalog of achievements, from his Billboard Top 40 hit “Something Better” with Lady A to his GRAMMY-nominated remix of Bastille’s “Pompeii.” Long known for his emotionally driven approach to electronic music, Audien continues to evolve beyond traditional genre lines, focusing on melody, feeling, and connection. His recent work reflects a broader sonic vision he now describes as Emotional Euphoric Music, designed to resonate both on the dancefloor and beyond it.
In 2022, Audien launched his Progressive House Never Died (PHND) event brand, a live platform created to celebrate melody-driven dance music and bring together multiple generations of artists and fans. Since its inception, PHND has hosted sold-out events at major venues including Brooklyn Mirage and The Torch at LA Coliseum, featuring artists such as Nicky Romero, DubVision, Frank Walker, ARTY, and more.
Following the release of First Love, Audien embarked on a global tour, performing on some of dance music’s most prominent stages, including Exchange LA, The Vogue, Escape Halloween, Lost In Dreams Chicago, and most recently Pier 80 in San Francisco alongside Illenium during Super Bowl weekend. The momentum continues with upcoming appearances at Tao Chicago, EDC Mexico, and Marquee New York, all leading up to Audien’s massive performance supporting Illenium at the Sphere in Las Vegas on March 13.
He will then return to London for a PHND mini-festival at HERE at Outernet on March 21, followed by another PHND mini-festival during Miami Music Week at Midline on March 26. Additional highlights include a headline performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on May 30.
Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Audien from Mystic, Connecticut, has built a powerhouse career in the electronic music scene, known for his uplifting, melodic sound and chart-topping hits. He broke out with early releases on major labels like Anjunabeats, Armada, and Astralwerks, earning a Grammy nomination in 2015 for his remix of Bastille’s “Pompeii,” which became a festival anthem.
That same year, he topped the U.S. Dance Charts with “Insomnia” and broke into the Billboard Top 40 with “Something Better” featuring Lady A. Over the years, Audien has collaborated with artists like MAX, Echosmith, and 3LAU, and crafted original mixes for Coldplay, Calvin Harris, and Halsey.
In 2022, he launched Progressive House Never Died, selling out a national tour and headlining renowned venues including the Hollywood Palladium, Brooklyn Mirage, and L.A. Memorial Coliseum. Three years later, Audien released his sophomore album, “First Love,” further extending his impact in the dance music space. Audien hopes to break boundaries in 2026 with new releases and performances at high-profile locations.
