Production Profiles

The Chainsmokers

There’s no denying the surge in popularity that EDM continues to have across all platforms: TV, radio, festivals and DJ events are all at one with the new take on electro. What allows American DJ / Producer duo Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, AKA The Chainsmokers, to stand out is their ability to tour like a pop act, and pack a punch like a gritty dance demon. With a sell-out European tour under their belts, TPi met the crew at London’s Roundhouse to discuss producing a tour of technical excellence in smaller venues as demand to see the band reaches new heights.

Production and Tour Manager Clancy Silver has seen The Chainsmokers develop dramatically over the past two years. Formed by Alex Pall in 2012, the act in its present line up is gaining serious momentum. The pair have released singles including Don’t Let Me Down – a Billboard top 5 – and Closer featuring Hasley reached the Number One slot in both the UK and US pop chart. Most recently their collaborative single with Coldplay Something Just Like This, their third consecutive No. 1, saw the duo reach a whole new audience.
