GALANTIS’ “RUNAWAY (U & I)” KASKADE REMIX
-Out now via Big Beat Records
“Its merciless original lyrics combined with Kaskade‘s relentless, hard-hitting melody will make fans feel alive as they close their eyes, dance around, and get lost in the music.”—Your EDM
Swedish duo Galantis–comprised of producers Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson and Linus Eklöw–put a spin on their new song “Runaway (U & I)” with an impeccably crafted remix by Kaskade. The remix, which made its debut during Kaskade’s performance at this year’s TomorrowWorld, premiered on Your EDM on Friday and is out today via Big Beat Records.
The original track proved an instant hit, debuting in the Top 10 on the iTunes Dance Chart and taking the #1 spot on Hype Machine’s Popular Chart. The track went to #1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 Chart in both the US & Worldwide as well as on 1001 Tracklists’ Most Played Newcomer Tracks. “Runaway (U & I)” debuted this week in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart and currently sits in the Top 5 on Beatport’s Progressive House Chart.
If you missed their sold-out shows at NYC’s famed Bowery Ballroom, the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, or their explosive live debut at 2014 Coachella, you can now catch Galantis on tour as they travel the US festival circuit and co-headline with Booka Shade in New York and Los Angeles. Full tour routing below.
