We The Beat Presents: Phantoms!

Phantoms, comprised of Los Angeles based Kyle Kaplan & Vinnie Pergola, are a live electronic act that does exactly that. Often tough to box in…..their electronic style is best described as blurring the lines of house & indie-dance. Incorporating distinctive synth and drum patterns, the duo have become synonymous with their genre of alternative electronica.

Launching in 2016 with debut EP, “Broken Halo”, the duo were quickly signed toRepublic/Casablanca, releasing their eponymous debut album the following year. ‘Phantoms’ featured the chart topping “Just A Feeling” (ft Verite), clinching #1 spots on US Dance Radio for4 straight weeks, iTunes electronic chart and sitting atop the SiriusXM / BPM Top 20 countdown for over 8 weeks, shattering the previous record in the process and being named BPM’s‘Breaker of the Year’.

2019 saw the release of the duo’s 7-track “Disconnect” EP, which included dance chart topping single “Say It” and club focused instrumental “Designs For You”, which saw worldwide DJ support from the likes of Pete Tong, Diplo, Duke Dumont, Jai Wolf, Martin Garrix and many more. The same year also saw the duo hit the road with a live sold out North American headline tour that included festival stops at Ultra Miami, Life Is Beautiful, EDC Mexico, EDC Japan, MadeIn America, Okeechobee, Voodoo Fest and many more.

Despite a pandemic hit 2020/21 the duo continued creating, releasing their 5-track “Moonlight”EP in October, which featured their cover of Aaliyah classic “One In A Million” and electro/pop crossover hits “Moonlight” &“Want To Know”, in addition to official remixes for the likes of Tiesto, Jai Wolf, Crooked Colours and more, highlighting the demand from their peers for thePhantoms touch.

Looking ahead, Phantoms have a new album set for release in 2022 on Odesza’s burgeoning Foreign Family imprint, with their first single due for release in November 2021 and a long player, featuring several collaborations, that will inspire a brand new live show. Applauded by NPR,Billboard, Dancing Astronaut and many others, it’s clear the duo have cemented themselves as one of electronic music’s hottest live acts.
