Since achieving dance-pop ubiquity with hits like 2015’s “Roses” and 2016’s “Closer”, the duo of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart have hustled their way to EDM’s highest echelons: Grammys, world tours, Vegas residencies, venture capitalism. But in recent years, the superstar DJs have seemed less interested in chasing the highs of their radio-friendly megahits, burrowing into moodier melodies and more nuanced productions. On Breathe, their sixth EP (following 2024’s No Hard Feelings), the duo get heady and hedonistic—obsessing over a star-crossed lover on “Veins”, channelling UK garage on “White Wine & Adderall” and hurtling towards emotional oblivion on “The Cure”. Guest vocalists include English singer-songwriters Absolutely and Beau Nox, plus a reappearance from Daya of “Don’t Let Me Down” fame.
