The Chainsmokers know their way around an earthshaking drop, but they treat EDM as a Trojan horse for irresistible pop songs. Early on, the New York duo went viral with a parody of selfie culture and a paean to Kanye—set to fist-pumping productions that combine trap snap, big-room punch, tropical flourishes and melodic hooks that sink in deep. From the pool party to the festival to the drive home with friends, The Chainsmokers have the soundtrack to living large.
