Over the past couple years, Swedish progressive house duo Galantis have made a considerable mark on the Edm world. “Runaway (U & I)” and “You” will likely be etched into the collective memory of anyone who attended a music festival during 2014, and their surrealistic seafox trademarks represent the enchanted melodies prevalent in their music well. However, when the time finally arose for them to release a debut album, we were hoping that they would have pushed their creative limits a little further.
Don’t get us wrong, Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson and Linus Eklöw are fantastic producers, and the tracks on Pharmacy are not poorly done by any means – it’s just that very few of the new ones are all that memorable. Where the two aforementioned songs featured unique use of vocal sample pitch bending among other production experimentations that made them more than just a couple progressive house tracks, the...

Galantis are no strangers to combining elements you might not expect to mix well while still yielding a whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Their newest release, “Peanut Butter Jelly,” blends soulful vocals, chopped up funk/disco instrumentals and in a bold departure from the Swedish duo’s usual, sparkly style, parts of the track are even punctuated with air horns.
In a lyric video released on their YouTube account, the song’s official “Seafox” – the duo’s trademark mythical creature – appears in front of a colorful background animation. Check it out above and give the track a listen. If you dig it, be sure to pre-order their upcoming album, Pharmacy, on iTunes. It’s currently slated for release on June 8th and those who reserve a copy will be able to get their hands on this exciting new song right away.

When the wave of Malaysian indie arthouse films first began to break on the international festival circuit director James Lee was front and center. The director of The Beautiful Washing Machine and Goodbye To Love won a lot of love around the world with his sensitive dramas and helped to propel a blossoming movement in his home country but he was a man with a bit of a secret. Yes, he's sensitive. Yes, he enjoys a good drama. But deep down inside Lee is a bit of a gorehound.
Lee first let his inner horror fan out with an installment in the anthology ghost project Visits in 2004 before laying on the blood good and proper with 2008's violent slasher Histeria. Since then he's tried fusing his love of genre film with his arthouse roots in artsy gangster flick Call If You Need Me but he's back to full on genre fare with his new one.
