We say

Every once in a while a dance track comes along and just utterly destroys everything in its path. This monstrous beast from Swedish duo Galantis does exactly that and you’ll be powerless to resist. The pedigree here is outstanding. Christian ‘Bloodshy’ Karlsson is one third of the band Miike Snow, co-wrote Britney’s classic hit Toxic and has produced superstars like Kylie, Madonna and Katy Perry. His partner in the studio is Linus Eklöw, better known as dance producer Style Of Eye, the co-writer and producer of Icona Pop’s 2013 worldwide no.1 smash I Love It. This latest huge track has already been a no.1 in the Netherlands, Top 20 in Norway and France, racked up an astonishing 8.2 million Soundcloud plays across three different mixes (including 5.7 million for this version) and 17 million streams on Spotify. But we reckon this is only the beginning and we’re prepared to tip this as one of 2015’s biggest global EDM crossovers as well as becoming a massive favourite at radio too. Don’t say we didn’t prepare you.
