Krewella is an electronic dance music duo from Northbrook, Illinois, United States, that formed in 2007. The duo consists of Pakistani-American sisters Jahan Yousaf and Yasmine Yousaf.

Their EP, Play Hard, was released on June 18, 2012, exclusively on Beatport, followed by an iTunes release on June 26, 2012. Their debut album, Get Wet, was released on September 24, 2013, on iTunes. Their musical style draws upon house, dubstep, hardstyle, techno, electronic rock and drum and bass.

Krewella, formed in 2007, consisted of songwriting/vocalist sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf along with producer Kris "Rain Man" Trindl. The three met as students at Glenbrook North High School. Their music is a blend of self-produced electro house and dubstep, with influences of many other EDM styles. All three members of the group have "6-8-10" tattoos to commemorate June 8, 2010, the day when the three agreed to give up their careers, schooling, and any other intentions for their lives, to dedicate all of their time to the trio's joint music career. In December 2011 Monstercat signed Krewella, "Killin' It." was Krewella's first original song released by a label. Monstercat promoted Krewella with social media campaigns and partnered with EDM YouTube promotional channels for a larger platform. In June 2012, Krewella released their EP Play Hard. The album rose to #1 on Billboard’s Dance Radio Airplay chart and the single placed on the Pop Radio Airplay charts.
