DVBBS, Galantis, and Cody Simpson Join Forces on Emotive Single "When The Lights Go Down." Out Now on Ultra Records

In a true blend of forces, DVBBS and Galantis team up for their new single "When The Lights Go Down," enlisting famed Australian singer/songwriter and musician Cody Simpson. Opening with organic instrumentals, the track incorporates both artists' signature sounds with Cody's soulful vocals and groovy, upbeat melodies for a fusion of pop and dance, which hits right in the feels. The collaboration between DVBBS and Simpson has actually been a long time coming as they already had a song together years ago and even performed it live at Ultra Music Festival, which unfortunately never came out. The story comes full circle to finish it together with Galantis, who turn into gold everything they touch. "When The Lights Go Down" follows DVBBS's 3rd studio album "SLEEP" as well as "Body Mind Sound" single with Benny Benassi, while Galantis ride the wave of "Sweet Talker" with Years & Years and "Alien" with Lucas & Steve and ILIRA. Cody Simpson is currently gearing up for his first album release in 7 years and its lead single "Nice to Meet You."

"We've shared stages all around the world with legends Galantis over the last decade and couldn't be happier to now share this record together. We've also watched Cody Simpson grow into the amazing artist he is. He performed a record with us years ago at Ultra Music Festival that never came out. So, we had to finish the story right, and that's 'When The Lights Go Down.'" - DVBBS

"Happy to kick off 2022 with our friends DVBBS and Cody on 'When The Lights Go Down'" - Galantis

"When the DVBBS boys reached out about collabing on this track, I was stoked. To lend vocals and guitars on this was a pleasure. I've been a fan of both Galantis and DVBBS for a while now. Glad to be able to come together on a smash like this, and I hope everyone digs it as much as we do." - Cody Simpson

Cody Simpson:

The early 2010s were defined by a fast-growing social media presence and swiftly changing broadcasting landscape. Cody Simpson shot to fame during this time, uploading home videos of musical covers to YouTube. His heart-led performances would catch the attention of record executives in California as well as viewers all around the world. The undeniably gifted youngster would go from curating bedroom clips of his favorite artists to signing a record deal and touring the United States within a year. An eagerly anticipated first collection of music was released to the public with the working title "Coast to Coast" EP and peaked at an upright 12th on the US Billboard Chart. Released in 2015, "Free" marked Simpson's first independent record production and his last full-length album to date. Shortly after its release, Simpson formed Cody Simpson and the Tide and went on to produce a further two EPs titled "Wave two" and "B-sides." These pieces of work marked a changing sound and a noticeable maturation concerning his music's demeanor and sonic appeal. Growing as a man of depth, he would also later garner an aptitude for the stage, earning him the leading male role in the hit Broadway musical Anastasia during the latter part of 2018 and early 2019. Cody's return to musical spotlight in 2022 is full of high-profile collaborations, and sonic rejuvenation.
