Pall studied art history and music business at New York University[10], while Taggart was a Syracuse University intern at Interscope Records when the two met.

Taggart had expressed an interest in becoming a DJ and had posted some original music on the SoundCloud website. After Bixler left, Taggart was advised by someone working for Alpert that a duet managed by Alpert had an open seat, prompting Taggart to leave Maine and travel to New York City.

Pall was introduced to Taggart by Alpert, who had grown up as a DJ and was working at an art gallery in Chelsea, Manhattan at the time. In April 2013, The Chainsmokers released a remix of Daughter’s “Medicine,” which went to number one on HypeMachine. In the beginning, the duo made remixes of indie acts. They partnered with Priyanka Chopra, an Indian actress, and recording artist, on the track “Erase” in 2012, which was followed by “The Rookie” in early 2013.

In September 2014, the pair gave their first musical concert, opening for Timeflies at Terminal 5. Dim Mak Records took up their free single “#Selfie” in December 2013, re-released it in January 2014, and finally streamed it to Republic Records.
