Biography
Salvatore Ganacci avoids locking into any single style, instead shaping a wide-ranging mix of house and EDM. Productions including 2015's "Money in My Mattress," 2019's "Horse," and 2023's "Ferrari" surface regularly in other DJ lineups, while his own performances have repeatedly spread as viral clips. His first album, Culturally Appropriate, appeared at the close of 2022.
Born Emir Kobilić in Sarajevo, Bosnia, he began building a career after settling in Sweden near 2010 and issued his earliest recording, "Atmosphere," in 2012. Starting with an expansive, trance-rooted approach, he gradually folded in dubstep and EDM textures, as heard on the 2015 release "Money in My Mattress" and the 2016 collaboration "FLAGS!" with Sebastian Ingrosso.
Further singles followed over the next several years, yet a decisive lift came from his 2018 main-stage set at Tomorrowland. Footage of him dancing atop the decks, executing handstands, and whipping the crowd into a frenzy circulated widely online. The momentum prompted the release of the eccentric, high-velocity "Horse" on Skrillex's OWSLA label, whose equally offbeat video amassed extensive streams.
He kept performing at Tomorrowland and additional global venues while exploring disco-tinged house, EDM, and high-energy trance, often alongside Sébastien Tellier, Steve Angello, and repeated partner Ingrosso. The 2022 album Culturally Appropriate highlighted his range, encompassing dub reggae, Detroit-inspired techno, Dutch rave, and atmospheric breaks. The following year he linked with Riff Raff and Tommy Cash for the buoyant "Ferrari," which echoes happy-hardcore conventions.
