Rising Los Angeles, California DJ trio Cheat Codes continue to impress on their ‘boujee, luxurious’ new single, “Balenciaga.”

Los Angeles, California production team Cheat Codes are comprised of three different DJs: Trevor Dahl, Kevin Ford, and Matthew Russell. To date, arguably the trio’s biggest hit is “No Promises”, featuring Demi Lovato. Not a bad look in the least. Continuing to build their brand, they drop another hot dance gem, “Balenciaga.” That’s some mad lux right there!

While some elements of “Balenciaga” are predictable, Cheat Codes do a great job of providing some variation.  During the sung, lyrical portions of “Balenciaga,” the production tends to favor the smooth vibes of urban contemporary/urban-pop music.  It’s still under the umbrella of dance ultimately, but this alone shows more range you might say.  Thematically, song focuses on materialism and superficiality, regarding a man buying expensive things for his girl – #Gold Digger.

“I wonder, baby, do I even bother?

Do you ever think about me?

Bought you Balenciaga and Prada

That boujee kinda love ain’t cheap.”

Naturally, the instrumental section, post-drop, is clearly EDM-oriented – readymade for the dancefloor. Notably, the synths are hard and biting, particularly one patterned after low brass.  Furthermore, Cheat Codes anchors things down with a punchy, danceable beat.

Final Thoughts

Really, there’s not much more to say regarding “Balenciaga.” Cheat Codes continue their upward trajectory. Clearly, they’ll have far more hits in their career beyond the aforementioned “No Promises.”
