4 weeks ago 15

Dynamic DJ and lifelong Lakers fan Valentino Khan redesigned the sound of the team’s organ at Crypto.com Arena, which will be heard at every home game.

While electronic music and professional sports might seem like an unlikely pairing for some, the two have a shared legacy that dates back decades. Tunes like “Sandstorm,” “Kernkraft 400,” “Turbulence,” and more have long been stadium anthems to help hype up fans at games. More recently, DJs and producers have had a more prominent role, with DJ Snake and Kaskade performing at editions of the Super Bowl. Now, Valentino Khan revealed he’s the latest artist to find his way into the sports realm after teaming up with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Valentino Khan has displayed his love for the Los Angeles Lakers for years by taking the stage at festivals and nightclubs, but his recent adventure has led to him working more directly with the team than ever before. Today, the beloved DJ and producer revealed that he received the honor of redesigning the sound of the Lakers organ that will be heard at every home game to keep the crowd amped up and clapping along with it.

My goal was to restore it to that *classic* Lakers organ sound but add a modern twist to it. If you told me as a kid I’d get to do this one day, I wouldn’t believe it. I’m honored. Huge thank you to my people at the Lakers for trusting in me … LET’S GO LAKERS!
