Good Times Ahead

Career

Between late 2011 and early 2012, GTA released numerous remixes and productions on Laidback Luke's MixMash Records. They were featured on Diplo's "Express Yourself" EP and released their own debut EP, People Boots, on Chris Lake's Rising Music. In 2013, GTA provided remixes for deadmau5 and Kaskade, while featuring collaborations such as "Boy Oh Boy" with Diplo and "Hit It" with Henrix and Digital Lab. GTA has played major music festivals such as Lollapalooza, Ultra Music Festival, Coachella, Made In America, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Tomorrowland. In 2013, the duo toured with Rihanna as an opening act of her Diamonds World Tour, which became the sixth highest grossing worldwide tour of 2013 with a gross of $141.9 million from the shows played from January 1 to December 31, 2013. The duo toured the globe with Tiesto and Calvin Harris on their Greater Than World Tour, which sold out Glasgow's The SSE Hydro arena three minutes after going on sale. GTA's headlining tours have included 2014's Death to Genres Tour, and 2015's Goons Take America Tour. In 2015, GTA released "Intoxicated" with Martin Solveig, which peaked at number 5 on the UK Singles Chart, and also charted in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland and Switzerland. It became Beatport's top selling house track of the year. GTA released three EPs by the name of Death to Genres in 2015. Volume 1 was released in March, followed by a remix edition known as Vol. 1.5 in August, and the sequel DTG Vol. 2 in November. On November 27, 2015, GTA released Skrillex's remix of their original record "Red Lips." The music video was made in collaboration with Apple Music and was directed by Grant Singer. It took six months to make, according to Skrillex, who told Pitchfork "We treated it like it was just an art piece that we took our time doing, and it really felt right on the treatment." In 2016, GTA released an album titled Good Times Ahead.
