Coachella is a place where a lot of artists like to do something different and perform unreleased music. Tropical house producer, DJ Kygo performed on Sunday night at 11 p.m. in the Mojave tent and performed his oft-requested collaboration with Dillon Francis "Coming Over." The "Firestone" producer brought out vocalist James Hersey to sing the track live. During the performance, Kygo threw 20 USBs with the track loaded onto into the crowd for fans to keep.

The pair have been teasing the track for nearly six months in various forms and it was given its live debut, with James Hersey singing vocals in Oslo in December. The track is a happy medium between the two producer's styles, using Kygo's soft, summer sound in the build, where he thankfully ditches the synth he has become a little too fond of, before hitting Dillon Francis's toned down, glitchy electro. As to be expected, somebody uploaded the track online and you can listen to it below.
It appears as though not everyone was on the same page with this type of marketing. Francis, in a now deleted tweet was not too happy with his track getting put on the web like this as it was supposed to be on his upcoming EP, which will feature the likes of Skrillex.
"Next time you throw out USB's with a song on them don't throw out ones that have our song that's supposed to be on my EP," said Francis (via EDM.com)
