Galantis is the dance music project of Christian Karlsson (aka Bloodshy). RIAA gold-certified debut album Pharmacy reached No. 1 on the Billboard Dance album chart on the strength of platinum-certified single "Peanut Butter Jelly" and 3x platinum certified smash "Runaway (U & I)" - the latter of which earned a GRAMMY nomination for "Best Dance Recording" - while 2017's sophomore album The Aviary (featuring 2x platinum-certified single "No Money") saw a top 10 debut in 23 countries. The third Galantis album, 2020's Church, featured the chart-topping gold-certified single "Faith" with country music icon Dolly Parton featuring Mr. Probz, which saw a #1 debut on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Chart before quickly reaching #1 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart where it remained for 5 weeks. Meanwhile, gold-certified collaborative single "Heartbreak Anthem" with David Guetta & Little Mix proved a global sensation, spending 10 weeks on the Billboard Global 200 chart and 13 consecutive weeks in the top 10 on the UK Official Chart. Latest album, Rx, is Karlsson's most deeply personal creation to date - featuring pop banger "Lighter" with Guetta and 5 Seconds of Summer which landed No.1 on the US Dance Radio chart. Galantis has received over 7.3 billion cumulative worldwide streams and over 1.9 billion video views to date.
Karlsson has been at the helm of Galantis since 2009 before officially debuting the project at 2014's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. His career has spanned across the musical genres of punk-rock, hip-hop and pop - including work as one half of acclaimed production duo Bloodshy & Avant and one third of indie pop band Miike Snow. Karlsson's songwriting/production credits have included the likes of Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry and extensive work with Britney Spears (including "Toxic" which earned a GRAMMY for "Best Dance Recording" and her widely acclaimed 2007 album Blackout). As Galantis, he has crafted remixes for the likes of Coldplay, Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith & more. Declared "pop's mastermind producer" by UPROXX, "eternally effervescent" by Billboard and "one of the most influential and untamed voices in modern music" by GRAMMY.com, the Swedish-born artist continues to evolve and push the boundaries of songwriting within the world of dance music and beyond.
The Mayan is a great venue. The sound quality was great for Booka Shade and Galantis. I've been wanting to see Galantis again ever since Coachella. As always they blew me away with their set.
First off I had no idea who Booka Shade was until this show. I had my doubts but they were seriously talented guys. The Mayan was also a really cool venue to go to. Lots of open space, an easily accessible bar, and a nice little outside area. Now as for Galantis...holy crap they were amazing. I saw them at a music festival in Vegas a week ago and their performance on Monday at The Mayan was WAY better than the festival. Those two guys know how to throw a rager. We were also given SeaFox masks that made it even better. It was so much fun, and I know the other 3 girls I went with felt the same way.
These music producers-turned-performing-deejays (as Galantis) were awesome! They played live plenty! Tweaking knobs on vintage synths, drumming on digital drum pads & cymbals, you name it!! SUCH TALENTED GUYS! Great percussionists, they choreographed awesome drum fills occasionally played in unison! TALENTED MUSICIANS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE! And they were so gracious to the crowd, looking right at us, always smiling, JUST LOVED THEM! And what a sound. Their new music is gorgeous. Hits so heavy, but always has musical integrity. They really push boundaries, playing songs we don't even realize will be our favorites! Seats were up on the balcony right behind the visual technician! Perfect view, and right next to the visuals monitor (projections, music videos, lyric projections during songs) and live video feed of Galantis! (I'm a tech head. I loved this.)
Hands down the best concert I have ever been to. For a group that is very new and as a result pretty low-budget, they delivered an outstanding performance and really knew how to connect with the crowd. They were very friendly and interactive. Combined songs that weren't originally theirs that they remixed on stage with original songs very effectively. Top-notch concert, definitely recommend it.
Excellent performance, great energy and beautiful sounds. Galantis will be the next big thing, so glad I was able to see them in such an intimate venue.
First time I heard the Galantis EP with 5 tracks on it I knew it was gonna be huge. Then Coachella happened. Then this tour. GO SEE THESE GUYS NOW before they end up in a huge venue and the fun is gone vis-a-vis Pacha, Tao, Marquee, etc.
This Swedish duo knows how to put on a performance! It was much more than just a DJ Set
