The Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers are a New York City-based electro house duo comprised of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall. Founded in 2012, the group nurtured its sound by playing low profile gigs around New York before being noticed by EDM signpost Steve Aoki, who signed the duo to his label Dim Mak Records. The Chainsmokers released its debut single "#SELFIE," in 2014 on the Dim Mak imprint and the song's broad appeal, matched with the tune's introspective questioning of technology's effect on society and culture, helped attract a fairly sizable fan base.
