The Makers of Closer – Alex Pall and Chainsmokers

Closer was one of the biggest hits of 2016 in the international music market. Topping charts in the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. The song skyrocketed the DJ-ing electro-pop duo into a household name franchise. Having listeners from a variety of age groups and appealing mostly to the younger masses, ages 15 and under and 30 and over.

The Chainsmokers comprises of the DJ-ing duo Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall. The duo met when Alex Pall was DJ-ing in New York City, and he was haunted by the fact that he had to be serious about working as opposed to his hobby of DJ-ing around the city with limited reach and with a very small electro dance music market. He was then introduced to Taggart, and they hit it off, becoming the Chainsmokers. Taggart moved from his previous residence, and Pall quit his job.

Alex Pall believes in being relatable to their listeners through their music. He felt some sort of kinship to Taggart when they met, from their ambition to the music they listened to while they were growing up and that sparked the need to share and combine their ideas. Together, they could produce music and make themselves seen as actual artists and not just creators of some catchy beat. They blurred the lines of what was considered dance music and have released music that ranges from being indie pop, dance, pop etc with creations such as Don’t Let me Down and Roses.

The talk of their expansion comes in when he discusses the aspect of festivals and tours they want to partake on. With their growing fanbase and label demanding an album, Alex Pall wishes to produce an album that has ‘flow’, not just songs stuck together. He wants to create an album that speaks volumes of them as artists. The issue of festivals and tours comes in how they want to evolve their production and acts. One way they are doing this is by having Taggart sing which changes the game completely

They perform their songs live, and that distinguishes them from other DJs in the business. He wishes to reject the topic of complacency in their career by having continuous creative ideas. By speaking to their visionary, they can put their thoughts and ideas into perspective. They believe in progression and crossing boundaries through their music through their very own listeners.

The Chainsmokers Take Dark Direction

There are many things you can say about the Chainsmokers but laziness or lack of originality aren’t among them. They have managed to remain relevant in one of the most difficult periods for artists in general while still maintaining a unique style. Now, they want to move away from their college minded style into something more mature. This darker turn is going to change how people think about the Chainsmokers and what they’re about. It means the duo has a lot to do in order to pull it all off and give the crowds what they want.

There are plenty of things you can see in the Chainsmokers that separates them from other artists. They are a plastic and creative pair with an eye towards the new and fresh. That means they are actively creating some of the most interesting music to be heard in college bars across the country. This new single “Sick Boy” is going to give an entirely new direction for everything they do. This new way of doing things is going to bring the Chainsmokers an audience that it normally hasn’t had in ages. A more mature and wiser audience than the college crowds they go for.

The Chainsmokers have so much to offer the world and they have no problem showing that to us. This is just the latest example of that at work. There are other examples of this in their past. “Closer” gave them a wave of energy they hadn’t had since the beginning of their careers. You can find plenty of college kids trying to do what they do and even more. What separates them from others is that they have made their vision clear. They wanted to target certain demographics and deliver a musical experience those crowds would find themselves enjoying the most. There is no telling how the future is going to go, but it seems that the Chainsmokers have a future ahead of them. Crowds seemed to have love what their past works have been and it doesn’t seem hard to imagine they will like what they are about to give.

Alex Pall of the Chainsmokers Aims to bring New Side to Dance Music

The Chainsmokers, popular dance music band, is made up of two up and coming DJs and singers Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart. The two make up a unique duo like the dance music has never seen before. The two are working to become recognized as true artist with real emotions in their music rather than hiding behind their DJ stations and loud techno drops. The duo wants to be recognized as genuine people with real stories and evoke emotions through their music.

The two were introduced to each other by Alex Pall’s manager. After their first initial meeting, Alex and Andrew both quit their jobs and instantly began working together to pursue their dreams as DJs and artists.

The longer they worked together, the more sure they were things would work out and they would be successful. They are were both ambitious and driven to make this work. They became extremely observant of what other dance music artists were doing that made them successful and tried to implement those things in their own unique way to build up their careers.

Now, finding success in their careers as one of the top bands, they are continuing to push themselves to become better and continue producing music and songs that people can relate to. Many artists find it surprising that they sing and produce songs about themselves. They do work with songwriters, but it’s always with them and about something they’ve experienced. This has stretched their popularity as well as their reach to various audiences.

Because of social media, the band has been able to see who their music is reaching. It began as college students and has now spread to those under 15 and over 30. Alex Pall and Taggart have been extremely happy to see their changes to dance music have allowed their music to spread so quickly and to a broad audience.

The two continue to work hard and produce albums that allow them to be real people with catchy tunes that appeal to all.
