Also around this time, he released the Krad Records EP Vampiros Energeticos and signed to Atlantic/Warner Records. In 2015, he earned his first number one single in France and Switzerland with his original song “Goodbye,” featuring singer Lyse. The song also cracked the Top 50 of Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Songs chart. That same year, he won Best New French DJ at the NRJ DJ Awards. Several more well-received tracks followed, including “Blind” with Emmi and “Lordly” featuring Alex Aiono. In 2017, Feder released his Breathe EP. He also delivered the R&B-inflected single “Back for More,” showcasing London-based vocalist Daecolm, and in 2018 he issued “Control,” which featured Bryce Vine and Dan Caplen.
