May 3, 2015

Galantis is a Swedish electronic music production and songwriting duo consisting of Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson of Miike Snow, and Linus Eklöw aka Style of Eye.
Grammy winning Christian Karsslon (of famed producing team Bloodshy & Avant and Swedish Indie-pop band, Miike Snow) is a main-stay in the pop world. Karlsson has co-written and co-produced tracks for artists such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue and Madonna, to name a few. Specifically, Karlsson co-wrote the Britney Spears single, "Toxic", which eventually earned an Ivor Novello award (for songwriting and composition) and a Grammy for Best Dance Recording. Karlsson is also a founding member of Swedish artist collective and record label INGRID.
Linus Eklöw: Otherwise known as established electronic dance music producer Style of Eye, he also co-wrote and produced Icona Pop's international No. 1 smash "I Love It" ft. Charli XCX.
The duo initially met by chance at Karlsson's Robotberget studios in Stockholm, sometime in 2007. 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. Explaining what drew him to Eklöw, Karlsson says, "He's an amazing programmer and designer of soundscapes. It was artsy, in a way. He was different." Their latest single is entitled, "Runaway (U & I)".
