Fun Facts: 8 Things To Know About The Chainsmokers Before Their KL Debut

But first, let us take a selfie!

There’s no denying that the first thing that comes to mind when we hear The Chainsmokers is #SELFIE. After all, the duo did make their way into the mainstream spotlight thanks to their infamous hit “#SELFIE”. However, before their vanity-inducing single became a international craze, the duo could be found making house remixes of indie acts.

Having released songs including “Let You Go” featuring Great Good Fine Ok and “Kanye” featuring SirenXX, the duo are looking to break past their “#SELFIE” craze in order to re-establish their identity. Heading to Kuala Lumpur for the first time ever this June 4th (Thursday), we’ve prepared some interesting facts about The Chainsmokers based on their recent “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit.
