Joytime is the debut studio album by Marshmello, released in January 2016 on Monstercat and self-produced by Marshmello. The album introduced the anonymous, helmet-wearing producer's signature brand of upbeat, melodically driven future bass and electronic pop that was immediately accessible to a mainstream audience uninterested in the harder edges of EDM. Tracks like 'Keep It Mello' with Omar LinX and the anthemic title track established the 'joytime' philosophy, relentlessly positive, emotionally uncomplicated dance music designed to make large crowds of people feel good simultaneously. The album's debut on Monstercat, a YouTube-driven Canadian label known for electronic music, built a dedicated online fanbase before Marshmello had performed a single live show. Joytime is an accomplished debut that introduced one of electronic music's most commercially successful artists.
