Cheat Codes Talk New “Future Renaissance” Album, 10-Year Anniversary, and Release Party at The Surf Lodge

Cheat Codes, a multi-platinum Los Angeles-based hit-making producer trio, took over the Hamptons’ most iconic venue, The Surf Lodge, with a high-energy, hands-in-the-air set celebrating their new album, Future Renaissance. The DJ Trio mixed fresh tracks with nostalgic throwbacks, all in their signature EDM, pop, and house style.

The trio–Kevin Ford, Trevor Dahl, and Matthew Russell– delivered hit after hit: “No Promises” with Demi Lovato, “Pretty Girls” with Maggie Lindemann and Cade, “Sex” with Kris Kross Amsterdam. The packed crowd sang every word–one hand holding a drink, the other raised in the air. Strangers quickly became friends as they belted the lyrics “Just be careful, love ain’t simple, promise me, no promises.”

“Renaissance means ‘rebirth,’ and I feel like that’s exactly what this album was for us. We’ve been a group for 10 years now, and we took this music back to our roots. We’ve collaborated with all different types of artists—from Dolly Parton to Trippie Redd to All-American Rejects, the list goes on. So it was nice to go back to a reimagined version of the original sound that most people might know us for.” – Trevor

“Wrapping up this album feels surreal—10 years deep and we’re still pushing boundaries. “Future Renaissance” is about rebirth through evolution—mixing the past and the future into something timeless. We feel lucky to do what we love, and this one feels like our boldest chapter yet.” – Kevin

“We live in an overly digitized world, more and more distracted, exceedingly disconnected. This album is Cheat Codes connecting to its roots, inspired by art and architecture that has lasted the test of time. Building off of the shoulders of giants, in the face of an AI threat to the end of music as we know it, the world really needs a renaissance of art and culture right now.” – Matt 

As the sun set, Trevor introduced new songs off the Future Renaissance album, marking the start of a new creative era for the group.

“Bloom” Featuring Train

“The” song of the summer. The infectious melody and up-tempo beat will have you on your feet in seconds. Expect this to be played at every club in the Hamptons and beyond.

“Towers” Featuring Frawley

Frawley’s sharp and punchy vocals + the strings melody is perfection.  This is the perfect–sing in your car at the top of your lungs–song.

“Stand by Me”

Taking on a beloved song is no easy feat, but Trevor delivers crisp vocals that pair perfectly with the EDM/pop track.

“Human” Featuring LP

LP’s electrifying vocals deliver a clear message: “We are only Human.” This is an energizing and uplifting song—the kind you would dance with the one you love at 2 a.m. in a club.

The Future Renaissance album captures the Cheat Codes’ evolution, blending genres while staying true to their dance-pop roots. The 15-track album is now streaming everywhere. The trio’s summer itinerary includes major festival stages and club appearances across the U.S. and Europe.
