Breathe Carolina

Breathe Carolina is a trio of producers from Denver, Colorado, formed in 2007. In 2012, they had their breakthrough with the music video "Blackout". At the time, the trio combined elements of electronic music with rock music. In the meantime, it has turned to EDM and releases music on the Dutch label Spinnin' Records.

History

The band was founded in 2007 by the singers Kyle Even and David Schmitt. The name comes from a dream David Schmitt had as a child. In 2007, the duo released their first EP titled Gossip. The tracks from the EP, along with six new compositions, formed the basis for their debut album It's Classy, Not Classic, released in 2008. The duo's 2009 sophomore album Hello Fascination rose to #43 on the Billboard 200.

The band has toured with A Skylit Drive, Family Force 5, Brokencyde and other artists. They participated in a cover of Miley Cyrus' hit See You Again on the compilation Punk Goes Pop 2. In 2009, they were featured on the SmartPunk.com stage on the Vans Warped Tour. For their live performances, the duo hires a live band consisting of two keyboardists (Joshua Andrew also plays guitar) and a drummer.

The band participated in the compilation Punk Goes Pop 3 by Fearless Records and Rise Records with a cover of Jay Sean's song called Down.

On July 22, 2011, the third studio album Hell Is What You Make It was released via Fearless Records. The first single released from this album is called Blackout. The dubstep-influenced track gained strong popularity, reaching the charts in Germany, Austria and the UK, among other countries. With over one million sales in the US, it reached platinum status there. On July 10, 2012, the studio album titled Hell Is What You Make It: RELOADED was re-released under Columbia Records. This album features their latest single Hit and Run and a remix version of UK's Wideboys. Furthermore, an updated cut version of Last Night (Vegas) and a new song Reaching For The Floor.

In mid-October 2013, the band announced that vocalist Kyle Even had left the band to be with his newborn child and family. The fourth album, titled Savages, was nevertheless released on April 15, 2014. On this album, they particularly embodied their old style and thus achieved their biggest hit to date on the US album charts. However, traces of electro and progressive house music could also be heard in the productions. A new singer still did not join the band, instead they got guest singers for their live performances, some of whom also came from other bands.

After a record deal with the Dutch EDM record label "Spinnin' Records" in 2014, they changed their music style completely. While they previously covered the area of rock music in addition to electronic music, their current productions are almost exclusively in the area of progressive and electro house. Tracks like Hero (Satellite), More Than Ever with Ryos or Ruins together with Angelika Vee became big hits on the download portal Beatport and could advance to the top of the genre charts there.

On February 26, 2016, Dutch DJ and producer Hardwell premiered their single Soldiers, which they recorded with Blasterjaxx. Shortly after, they sang Marco Polo with EDM project Bassjackers and producer Reez. At the same time, they released an edit to Cuebrick, APEK and Linney's Safe. After the big room-heavy song Giants, they released the Sleepless EP in the fall. This was based on the future bass style that was very popular at the time. The songs Stable, which was created with Crossnaders and the with were released as singles.

For the end of 2016 they announced a second EP. This one was much more oriented towards progressive and big room house oriented songs. The first single, Echo (Let Go), recorded with IZII, was still in line with their future bass style. In contrast, the song Talisman, produced together with Olly James, turned out to be an electro-house track. On December 23, 2016, the Oh So Hard EP was released. To kick off the new year, the songs Atlantis with Dropgun and Break of Dawn with Swede Dreams were released as singles, which generated a very positive response.

In February 2017, they released their second collaboration with Bassjackers, titled Can't Take It.
