In 2013, at just 17 years old, Garrix released “Animals,” a track that skyrocketed him to international fame. The single topped charts worldwide, including in the UK and Belgium, and solidified his status as one of EDM’s rising stars. The song’s iconic drop and distinctive sound marked a turning point in the big-room house subgenre.
