Let’s meetup for Galantis!
Galantis: Crafting Emotional EDM Anthems with Pop Cinematic Flair
Galantis is a Swedish electronic music duo formed by Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson (formerly of Miike Snow) and Linus Eklöw (Style of Eye). Known for blending melodic songwriting with dance-pop sensibilities, they carved a unique space in EDM by prioritizing vocals and chord-driven structure over club beats.
Their breakthrough single, “Runaway (U & I)” (released October 5, 2014), became their signature hit—reaching #4 in the UK and Australia, eventually earning a double platinum certification from the BPI, and surpassing 1 billion Spotify streams as of mid‑2025. That track earned them a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 58th Grammy Awards.
Their debut album Pharmacy (2015) featured major singles like “You,” “Gold Dust,” and the disco‑flavored “Peanut Butter Jelly” which won accolades at the International Dance Music Awards for Best Electro/Progressive House Track and Best Music Video. The duo followed up with The Aviary (2017), spawning hits like “No Money” (their first Billboard Hot 100 entry), “Hunter,” and “True Feeling.”
Their third album Church (2020) spotlighted collaborations including “Bones” with OneRepublic, and later hit single “Heartbreak Anthem” (2021) with David Guetta and Little Mix—earning chart-topping status on UK Dance radio and a Brit Award nomination for Best International Song.
Fans frequently praise early works; one Reddit commenter called Pharmacy “one of the best EDM albums of all time” and noted live festival sets that remain unforgettable. Although Linus officially departed in 2017, Christian continues the project solo after 2021.
With global hits, iconic live shows, genre-bridging albums, and award recognition, Galantis has cemented their place in electronic music as melodic storytellers shaping the emotional undercurrent of modern dance.
