Valentino Khan

Los Angeles-born DJ and producer Valentino Khan was born February 15, 1987, in the San Fernando Valley, where he began crafting beats at age 16 in a region whose hip-hop and R&B culture shaped his musical instincts well before he touched a synthesizer. His early career was built entirely on hip-hop production: he made beats for T.I., 2 Chainz, and B.o.B., developing rhythmic precision and an attention to bass dynamics that would later form the foundation of his electronic music output. The pivot to electronic music in 2013 brought those hip-hop production values into a new context — one that rewarded exactly the kind of low-end authority and rhythmic density that made his beats work in a club environment. His debut EP In Khan We Trust (2014) on Skrillex's OWSLA label announced a sound that was unmistakably his own: punishing basslines with a physicality drawn from hip-hop's emphasis on physical impact, aggressive drop structures that rewarded the patience of the buildup, and an overall approach to dancefloor dynamics that prioritized visceral energy over genre purity. OWSLA, built around Skrillex's combination of dubstep, house, and hip-hop sensibilities, was a natural home for Khan's cross-genre approach, and the EP established him within an audience already primed for bass music's increasingly mainstream commercial moment. His 2015 single Deep Down Low became the most-played track in DJ sets worldwide that year — an unusual distinction for a bass house record and a signal that his productions had achieved a degree of ubiquity among working DJs that few releases in any genre manage in a single calendar year. The track was adopted by DJs across tech house, future house, and open-format contexts, demonstrating a versatility that extended his audience well beyond the bass music niche where he originated. Sirius XM's BPM channel added it to regular rotation, giving the record mainstream US radio exposure that reinforced its commercial crossover potential. His collaborative work with Diplo's Mad Decent label produced several significant releases including the joint single JustYourSoul and co-production on the multi-artist track Welcome to the Party featuring French Montana, Lil Pump, and Zhavia Ward — released as part of the Deadpool 2 film soundtrack in 2018 and certified platinum in the United States. Production credits on Bubble Butt by Major Lazer and Oops by Yung Gravy featuring Lil Wayne earned additional gold certification, adding commercial mainstream crossover credits to a catalog that started in underground bass house. He later founded Confession Records, his own Los Angeles-based label imprint, providing a platform for artists whose work sits at the intersection of bass house, tech house, and trap that defined his own sound — a label whose roster included Bleu Clair and other artists who would go on to develop their own Strip residencies. His global touring career has taken him to festival stages at Coachella, EDC, Tomorrowland, Ultra, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, alongside international residencies and club dates across North America and Europe. In early 2026 he performed at EDC Mexico, with confirmed Las Vegas dates for the 2026 season at Wynn Nightlife's XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club. His May 8, 2026 Encore Beach Club appearance — part of the Wynn's pre-EDC Week programming — is one of the most sought-after pool party bookings of the spring season, drawing an audience that bridges the dayclub regulars with the electronic music fans arriving in Las Vegas in advance of the week's main festival. His sets in Las Vegas reward the speaker installations that XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club provide: the high-output sound systems deployed at premium Strip venues reproduce the sub-bass frequency content of bass house and trap with the physical impact that demonstrates why Khan spent a decade prioritizing low-end dynamics in his productions. The room-shaking drop he has been engineering since the San Fernando Valley hip-hop production sessions of his early career arrives in a Las Vegas nightclub setting with a clarity and authority that few touring environments can match.
