PRODUCERS AND

THEIR CREDITS:

A BRIEF LOOK

BY: ELLIE MULLINS PC: RUKES

f course, we’re all familiar with our favourite artists’ hits. But are you
familiar with the hits that don’t have their names in the title of the track?
It’s no secret that most of our favourite producers have used their talents
to produce and help on other artists’ tracks, but do you know exactly who
has produced what tracks for famous pop stars and other commercially
O known legends in the past? We’ll be looking back upon some famous
examples and some you may not know.

CHRISTIAN KARLSSON (GALANTIS)

Part of a duo called Bloodshy & Avant, where Galantis’ Christian Karlsson is Bloodshy, the
pair had a hand in the production of some of the most iconic pop albums and singles
of all time. After getting their start producing Christina Milian’s debut album, they then
went on to work with the likes of Ms. Dynamite and Sugababes. Aside from this they’ve
also produced for the likes of Madonna (‘How High’ and ‘Like It or Not’ for the 2005 album
‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’) and Kylie Minogue (‘Speakerphone,’ ‘Nu-di-ty,’ ‘Cherry
Bomb’) but it’s with Britney Spears that Karlsson and his counterpart shared the most
production history with. Starting in 2003 for her album ‘In the Zone,’ they produced the
tracks ‘Showdown’ and ‘Toxic,’ the latter being one of the most iconic pop tunes of all time
which also received a Grammy award. Karlsson also worked on the albums ‘Blackout’ and
‘Circus’ with Avant, and worked solo for the 7th album by the singer ‘Femme Fatale.’
