Citing influences as broad as 2Pac, The Prodigy and
Armand Van Helden, the versatility of his stance on the digital market
is hardly surprising. Channelling the attitude of hip-hop and elegance
of house music into a highly evolved swing at the modern sound, that
proven ability to drop killer hooks and unrelenting bass in all the
right places is a straight up calling card for Garmiani. Kick-started by
the Rumble EP, this three-track Dim Mak debut set the precedent
considerably high for his label work, gaining top 10 Beatport chart
success and support from some of the industry’s biggest names. By the
time ‘Nomad’ and ‘Zaza’ had subsequently shown their faces, it was clear
that Garmiani’s ability to bring fresh life to dance music was here to
stay. Topping Billboard’s ‘Next Big Sound’ chart in 2014 and racking
considerable chart success on Beatport along the way, subsequent remixes
for Steve Aoki, Sean Paul, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike and Deorro have
seen a Midas like touch held both behind the decks and in the studio.
Ticking both Tomorrowland and TomorrowWorld off his list considerably
early, a subsequent slot on the Aokify Tour alongside Pharrell Williams,
Borgore, Wacka Flocka Flame and Aoki himself has kept Garmiani in
global rotation alongside his own independent tour duties. A frenzy of
slick mash-ups, masterful programming and an unprecedented connection
with any crowd before him has made his live etiquette as equally
impressive as his discography. 2015 was larger than life, but the next
12-months stands to show a new peak in the Swedish talent’s global
takeover. Think exciting collaborations, venutres for Dim Mak as well as
a host of leading labels and more international pit stops than ever
before, all in the name of this high-energy club heroism now known as a
calling card from the Swedish contender.
