WHAT IT IS: In 2014, their unofficial remix of Disclosure’s “Latch” replaced the original on SiriusXM’s BPM and blasted open the proverbial floodgates. Everybody from Imagine Dragons and Halsey to Rihanna tapped Lost Kings for official remixes. Meanwhile, their debut on Spinnin’ Records, “Bad,” bowed at #15 on Spotify’s Viral 50. By 2016, the boys notched a staggering 13 #1s on HypeMachine and amassed more than 25m Spotify streams. Simultaneously, they lit up stages at the Hot 100 Festival, EDC and countless other festivals, becoming a formidable live presence along the way. They signed to Disruptor/RCA and everything paved the way for “Phone Down,” which was released on 10/7/16 and has since racked up 11m+ Spotify streams, as well as 2.5m SoundCloud plays and millions of YouTubeviews. They released their latest single, “Quit You,” which features Tinashe, on 1/27.
