In 2017 Melbourne musicians Ed Service and Jack Madin recorded a song in their Brunswick studio. It was recorded with, and for, their friends.
The track got some love at local gigs and warehouse parties, but disappeared pretty quickly. Ed and Jack soon moved on with their lives and got day jobs.
But four years later that song they wrote has gone international. It’s playing at festivals and stadiums all over the world. It’s even been remixed by David Guetta.
The track has been streamed millions of times and is rocketing up the charts.
So what happened? Today on The Culture we look at how two Melbourne musicians took the world by storm.
Guest: Ed Service and Jack Madin from Shouse.
