So they really understood that, as well, and we really vibed with them, so we’re really looking forward to it. Part of the reason we didn’t want to sign before is because we felt like we were going to be losing a lot of our freedom. They give us the freedom to run our operation how we want to, which is really important to us. I mean they’re funded by Spotify, Google, and YouTube, so, that’s, like, amazing. They’re forward-thinking, and they work really well with technology and also important social media companies and stuff like that. Russell: Thanks! Thank you! Um, you know it came about, uh, it’s kind of a funny story…We were in New York, and our manager was like, “Hey! Can you guys do this meeting real quick? I mean, we’re not gonna sign you guys, but it’s always good to do a meeting,” and we were like, “Okay, cool!” (Laughs) And then we had the meeting, and we were like, “Oh, we actually really like these guys! They’re really cool!” We really vibed with them…Honestly, the reason that we signed with them is they have, in our opinion, the best business model for the way that we do our business.

Russell: We all have different musical backgrounds, and we all got bored really quickly, and we were just kind of jumping around between topics, subjects. TYF: What inspired you to make EDM music? Matthew Russell: I would say, “Cheat Codes, your party.” If you had to describe Cheat Codes in three words, what would you say? The Young Folks: Let’s start off by introducing Cheat Codes to our readers. Read on to learn about the band’s craziest fan encounter, favorite video games, and more! We were recently able to chat with Matthew Russell while Cheat Codes was on the road. Now, they’re on tour with Matoma, playing shows across the nation. Earlier this year, the band played Billboard Hot 100 Fest and Firefly. Which is surely an indication that it will continue to be successful. The three-piece EDM group, which consists of Trevor Dahl, Kevin Ford, and Matthew Russell, recently signed to 300 Entertainment (the label of Fetty Wap and Young Thug).
