After the viral excitement waves MBNN & Rowald Steyn finally release their highly anticipated cover of Billie Eilish's "ilomilo". Transforming the famous 2019 hit into a powerful deep house record, the Russian-Dutch team saw their version sweep the globe racking up millions of Shazams and YouTube plays. And now the next milestone is here, an official release on Spinnin' Records, bringing the song to an even larger audience than anyone could have imagined.
Already a key track on modern pop icon Billie Eilish's 2019 debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go, the compelling 'ilomilo' features beautifully understated electronics and dormant emotion. Those vibes were then captured and taken to the next level by Russian producer MBNN and fellow Dutchman Rowald Steyn.

The two producers incorporated stylistically flavorful guitar chords and a deeper beat, while Steyn arranged for the vocals to be released and recorded. The result was as impressive as it was powerful, leading to one of the most shareable internet hits of the moment.
