Los Angeles producer and DJ DESTRUCTO is set to storm the festival season this year with the release of his forthcoming HIGHER EP. Out June 10 on Boysnoize Records, the HIGHER EP features two new, unreleased tracks-"Higher" and "2112," both co-produced with U-Tern-along with remixes of the title track from French house producer Brodinski and Australian house/electro producer Tommy Trash.

On the HIGHER EP, DESTRUCTO solidifies his decades-long career in electronic music. "Higher" sees DESTRUCTO melding dreamlike melodies with an unmatched funky groove, while "2112" perfectly depicts DESTRUCTO's obsession with technology and futuristic sounds as the bouncing bass ebbs and flows from beginning to end. Also included on the HIGHER EP are remixes of "Higher" from DESTRUCTO allies Brodinski, who brings the original track to a slow techno burn, and Tommy Trash.

In support of the HIGHER EP, DESTRUCTO will launch his North American "Higher" Summer Tour, where he will headline a select number of clubs and venues across the U.S. and Canada. In addition to his solo headlining dates, DESTRUCTO will also perform at some of this year's most anticipated music festivals, including Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, Electric Daisy Carnival Chicago, Paradiso Festival in Seattle, Kanrocksas in Kansas City, Toronto's Digital Dreams Music Festival and Camp Bisco in New York. Additionally, DESTRUCTO will perform at several international venues and festivals, including two shows in Paris, France with a set at the legendary Paris Social Club, and the inaugural Electric Daisy Carnival London. DESTRUCTO then heads to Denver for the launch of Hard Red Rocks at the renowned Red Rocks Amphitheatre before making his hometown return with a performance at this year's HARD SUMMER festival in downtown Los Angeles. The recently released HARD SUMMER 2013 official trailer features a snippet of "Higher." Watch the official video here: http://hardfe.st/1085zbQ.

In addition to the HIGHER EP, DESTRUCTO will also release an official remix of "Soothe My Soul," the upcoming single from the globally celebrated electronic music icons Depeche Mode off their recently released album Delta Machine. Out worldwide June 10 and June 11 in North America, the "Soothe My Soul" (Destructo Remix) is part of a larger remix package for the single which pairs DESTRUCTO with various producers, including Steve Angello, Gesaffelstein, Jacques Lu Cont, Gregor Tresher and many more.
