GALANTIS & JVKE TEAM UP ON “DANDELION”

Internationally-acclaimed collaborative project Galantis has teamed up with viral sensation JVKE for new single “Dandelion” – available now via Big Beat Records. The mesmerizing track tells a story of fleeting love with a signature sprightly beat and infectiously distorted vocals.

“’Dandelion’ came about after JVKE requested to hop on a Galantis Instagram Live. I recognized him from TikTok and I asked him what he was up to. He said he was working on an idea for a song and started to sing it for me. I really loved the vibe and he asked if I was down to work on it together. We ended up sending it back and forth and it became this natural organic collaboration with no real plan or goal. The past year has really changed how we make music and work with other artists, with negative circumstances actually opening doors to unlikely opportunities – GALANTIS

“Dandelion” marks the latest in a series of several genre-bending Galantis collaborations – most recently including “Tu Tu Tu (That’s Why We)” with NGHTMRE & Liam O’Donnell and “Pretty Please” with Jackson Wang – in addition to remixes for the likes of Pele (“Acredita No Véio” feat. Rodrigo Y Gabriela), Brando (“Don’t Call Me”) and Falling In Reverse (“Popular Monster” with NGHTMRE). Meanwhile, JVKE’s debut single “Upside Down” quickly became one of the biggest TikTok songs of 2020, generating over 15 million videos and over 7 billion plays on the app, in addition to a remix featuring Charlie Puth.

DAVID GUETTA & MORTEN REWORK THE FLEETWOOD MAC CLASSIC “DREAMS” FEAT. LANIE GARDNER

After eight monstrous Future Rave collaborations racking up over 140 million streams, David Guetta and MORTEN are back with a rework of Fleetwood Mac’s all-time classic “Dreams,” featuring rising star Lanie Gardner. They bring the 1970’s standard onto the modern dance floor, drenched with emotion. Guetta discovered Lanie’s cover of “Dreams” on YouTube which has over 7 million views and counting. He immediately fell in love with Lanie’s rendition and invited her to feature on the Future Rave remix. She delivered a powerful performance that is paired perfectly with David and Morten’s razor-sharp production.

Gardner’s smooth-as-silk, soulful vocal strains are drenched in sustained bass tones and a dizzying synth arpeggio that slowly reveals itself. The track builds powerfully and imperceptibly to its crescendo as a stuttering, bleeping riff cuts through the mix, recalling classic ‘90s trance bangers. The drop lays on a crisp beat, punctuating the brooding bass perfectly. Another enormous breakdown pushes us to the final stretch, where the groove and the vocals finally unite in an ecstatic release of tension.

This is Guetta’s first cover since 2014’s “Shot Me Down” featuring Skylar Gray — his rework of Nancy Sinatra’s sultry “Bang Bang,” which has amassed 760 million streams to date. This one has all the hallmarks of another Guetta smash with the addition of Danish DJ/Producer superstar MORTEN, and which looks set to introduce Fleetwood Mac’s classic to a new generation.

Guetta recently delivered an incredible set for the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs ceremony livestream, with every single track in his set produced or remixed by him. It marked a new era in his career, showing a huge global audience what his Future Rave sound is all about. The thousands of positive comments on the YouTube stream showed that he is winning many new fans as well as delighting old ones. His latest global smash “Let’s Love” with Sia recently hit #1 on the U.S. Dance Radio Chart, #2 on the European Radio Chart, #6 on the Shazam Global Chart and is nearing 100 million audio and video streams.
