Santa Barbara-based producer Jeff Montalvo, aka Seven Lions, has unleashed a steady stream of trance, dubstep and pop-laced electronica since his debut EP Polarize, and he hasn't slowed down since. Following his 2012 release, he made the Beatport charts with four #1 tracks, and impressed mega DJ Skrillex with his demos, leading him to sign him on his persoanl label OWSLA. The artist's latest album The Throes of Winter exhibit his willingness to expand beyond EDM's margins and delve into soft intros that lead to satisfying beat drops, like the Ellie Goulding-featuring hit “Don't Leave.” In such a short time in his career, Seven Lions has also traveled through the biggest world-wide electronic music festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival, Camp Bisco, TomorrowWorld, and more, so it's high time he visit us in our backyard of Costa Mesa to let loose for the evening.
