HANGXIETY (Eli) intro

YOOO! My name is Eli Levine, I go by the name HANGXIETY. Im from Detroit, Michigan but now live in Chicago! I'm super big into throwbacks and try to bring that 2000's/2010's nostalgic EDM feel with my music while throwing some Alt. Rock elements in there, making music for the kid you once were.

I have been around music my entire life. I am the youngest of 3 boys, and my oldest brother has always been very musically gifted. He grew up as a drummer and started DJ'ing later on. When he was in high school he won a contest to be the opener for Krewella on their tour, riding on the tour bus and everything. Being around him and seeing him chase his dream inspired me to get into DJing and production myself. He taught me how to DJ and make music and its been history ever since.

I have been "seriously" producing music for about 3-4 years, taking inspiration from some of my favorite artists: Avicii, Martin Garrix, Gryffin, MGK, Knock2, Jon Bellion, Aries, Quinn XCII, Dominic Fike, Porter Robinson, Two Friends, and of course the man himself... Leondis. Knock2 was actually the reason I started making taking production seriously as I started my journey off with bass house. I used to watch his full concert at The Shrine LA every single day, chasing that feeling. My all time favorite artist of all time is Jon Bellion. Im consistently in his top 0.01% of listeners lol, but its not just because I love his music. It is also because his production is extraordinary, and how he much he truly loves the journey of production is super inspiring to me.

I work on music every single day and just recently landed an official remix for Two Friends, which released on Jan 2nd, 2026. It took me a very long to find MY sound, the sound that embodies who I am and my vision, and to be able to create something with one of favorite group/artists was truly a dream come true. It pushed me even more to keep learning and keep making music to bring you nostalgia for the kid you once were.

Im so stoked to meet you all, so stoked to learn from you all, and so stoked to be a part of this community that Alex has built. Im thankful for all of this and can't wait to move forward.

Keep smiling and keep dancing! 🫶
