SLANDER
About SLANDER
There are multiple artists that perform under the name.
1. Slander (stylized as SLANDER) is an American DJ duo consisting of Derek Andersen and Scott Land based in Los Angeles, California. They are best known for their unique sound and subgenre "heaven trap". Andersen and Land met at their fraternity, Kappa Sigma, in University of California, Irvine. They later went to and graduated from Icon Collective, a music production school together with Nghtmre. Andersen said: "My relationship with Tyler (Nghtmre) came out of nowhere when we were put in the same classroom at Icon Collective together." They initially played gigs for their college friends and at local venues. The name Slander was combined from the duo's real names: "S(cott) Land" and "Ander(sen)".
Slander's remix of Showtek's song "We Like to Party" was credited as Slander's rise to success and popularity. They exchanged their remix with Nghtmre's before combining them in a studio at Icon Collective. Their remix of Above & Beyond's "Love Is Not Enough" was described as pure "heaven trap", a trap-trance combination genre pioneered by Slander.
On September 22, 2022, Slander released their debut studio album, Thrive.
They also have their own label called "Heaven Sent".
