Galantis At Pacha Dubai

The world first got a sense of what Galantis was capable of in 2014, after their singles “Smile” and “You” from their self- titled EP were embraced by massively influential DJs including Pete Tong, Diplo, Tïesto, Porter Robinson and Laidback Luke. Galantis introduced themselves as a powerful live act that spring with a spot at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival, instantly winning over both the fans and the press. But the story of Galantis really began several years earlier through two of Karlsson and Eklöw’s other projects. In 2009, Karlsson’s band Miike Snow asked Eklöw, who produces and DJs as Style of Eye, to remix their song “Animal.” After that, the two Swedes started hanging out in the studio together, playing each other songs and scraps of ideas. Of course, Karlsson has previously had enormous success as a songwriter and producer for other artists. Working as Bloodshy, over the past decade he has collaborated with global pop superheroes including Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry and Britney Spears, whose classic “Toxic” earned him a Grammy award. And though Eklöw’s releases as Style of Eye have mainly been on dance labels like Ultra, Dirtybird and Sound Pellegrino, he actually began his career in music as an assistant to a major pop music producer in Sweden, so Galantis is a bit of a return for him. Also, in the midst of the duo ramping up, Eklöw found mainstream success on his own after producing Icona Pop’s mega-smash, “I Love It.” The energy in their debut album Pharmacy’s lead single “Runaway (U & I),” an ecstatic burst of dance pop escapism that has already become a beloved cut. But even such an instantly appealing song carries with it a level a complexity. Eklöw says it was one of the hardest compositions on the record to put together, as they had three different sets of vocals, existing in three different universes, which they then tweaked to create one greater sum. .
