PRAISE FOR BIG GIGANTIC & BRIGHTER FUTURE 2:

 

“Big Gigantic’s collab with Brooke Williams entitled ‘Losing My Mind’

is a pop-forward knockout. It sees the unity of Big Gigantic’s production prowess,

and Williams’s stunning vocal performance – a truly marvelous combination.”

– THIS SONG IS SICK

“‘Losing My Mind’ is the perfect fusion of Big Gigantic and Brooke Williams, as they each use their unique skills to create a pop-tinged anthem.”

– EDM.com

 

“One of the most legendary dance tag teams in the entire history of the genre is Big Gigantic, a Colorado-based pair of incredibly talented musicians who have blended a variety of styles together to form an upbeat, energetic sound that is more individualistic to them than any other sounds I can think of…It goes without saying that Vic Mensa and Mick Jenkins are two Chicago legends, and with a masterful foundation built by Big Gigantic on ‘Just the Same,’ I can’t imagine a better anthem as the weather starts to brighten up.”

– LYRICAL LEMONADE

 

“‘Open Your Mind’ boasts both producers’ unique styles, well-decorated with smooth sax and bouncing beats…An animated accompanying visual sees both Big Gigantic and GRiZ dive through psychedelic landscapes and ‘80s aesthetics. Reverberating basslines take fans through trip-filled ventures as nodding heads and sleeping cats relax themselves into the track.”

– DANCING ASTRONAUT

ABOUT BIG GIGANTIC:

Founded by Boulder, CO-based saxophonist/producer Dominic Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken, Big Gigantic emerged in 2009 with an utterly original fusion of electronica, hip-hop, pop, and jazz to create a dance music sound all their own. The duo quickly earned critical acclaim and a fervent fan following with show-stealing festival sets and a non-stop series of independent releases including 2016’s breakthrough LP, Brighter Future, which debuted at #2 on Billboard’s “Top Dance/Electronic Albums” chart fueled by such multi-million streaming hits as “All of Me (Feat. Logic & ROZES),” “The Little Things (Feat. Angela McCluskey),” “Highly Possible (Feat. Waka Flocka Flame),” and “Miss Primetime (Feat. Pell),” to name just a few. 2020 saw the arrival of their acclaimed seventh album, Free Your Mind, followed in 2021 by the Leisure Season Vol. 1 EP. Now boasting more than 1.5M monthly listeners via Spotify alone, Big Gigantic have also proven an unforgettable live act with performances at such gatherings as Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Electric Forest, as well as their own annual Rowdytown headline event at Morrison, CO’s world famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre. In addition, the duo have earned a wide array of high profile sync placements spanning Apple, Fox’s Empire, ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, sporting events including Wimbledon, NASCAR, and the NBA, and more. In 2016, Big Gigantic established A Big Gigantic Difference, a 501(c)3 initiative raising more than $1M for local non-profit organizations across the country thus far.
