Galantis are a Swedish electro pop superduo made up of Christian Karlsson from Miike Snow and Linus Eklöw from Style of Eye.
Karlsson (the man behind hits like Britney Spears' “Toxic”) met Eklöw (the man behind hits like Icona Pop's “I Love It”) at the Robotberget studio in Stockholm and their mutual admiration quickly turned into a project when the duo set up shop in Stockholm. They began recording and released their first single “Smile” in late 2013 followed by the hit single “Runaway (U & I)” in 2014, while their debut effort, Pharmacy, landed this year also featured two new singles, “Gold Dust” and “Peanut Butter Jelly”.
Galantis have a reputation for creating a thrilling live show that matches their music’s innovation and spirit. With infectious energy on stage, the duo will be performing at Stereosonic dance music festivals around the country and exclusively for Channel [V] at the Island Party.
