Last year’s Top DJs poll profile labelled Marshmello unique, ambitious, daring, and sometimes quite absurd. While 2020 might have stifled the helmet-wearing megastar’s globetrotting tour of the world’s biggest stages, it hasn’t hindered him delivering a compelling selection of releases. ‘Been Thru This Before’, dropped in April, is a star-studded collaboration with Atlanta trap royalty, Southside, UK rap royalty, Giggs, and Brooklyn rap royalty, Saint John. Much like the 42 Dugg-featuring single, ‘Baggin’, it’s a raw trap cut that strips away much of the pop sensibilities of Marshmello’s previous work — even if it does continue to showcase his impeccable ear for a mello-dy (geddit?).
