Calling Lose My MindSebastian Ingrosso, Alesso
Characterized by energetic beats and a catchy melody, this track portrays an intense emotional struggle, themed around the uncertainty of love and the loss of self.
Using imagery of heaven and the devil to express love’s complexity, it grips the listener’s heart.

RunawayGalantis
A staple of the EDM scene from Sweden, the music powerhouse: Galantis.
Although it’s a 2015 release, its arrangement and structure feel like a prototype of the K-pop sound that would later become popular.
It works both as a vocal-driven track and as a dance number you can definitely move to—a very well-balanced piece.
While faithfully following the fundamental rhythms of house music, the meticulous tuning of percussion, choir levels, and reverberation is exceptionally refined; when you listen at high volume, the quality really stands out.
Don’t Let Me Down ft. DayaThe Chainsmokers
The Chainsmokers’ “Don’t Let Me Down” is a great recommendation for beginners, featuring beautiful female vocals.
The vocals are performed by Daya, a singer-songwriter from the United States like The Chainsmokers, and her clear, pure voice makes the song very easy to listen to.
The lyrics are written in relatively simple English, so if you get the chance, why not listen to the song while reading the lyrics?
One More TimeDaft Punk
A track that should be called a monument of electronic music.
Released in November 2000 by the French duo Daft Punk, this song modernly arranges disco sounds and captivates listeners with its addictive beat and melody.
As the lyrics “one more time” suggest, it expresses the joy of feeling free and celebrating together through music and dance.
It conquered charts worldwide and received high acclaim, including being ranked No.
5 on Pitchfork’s Top 500 Songs of the 2000s.
It’s perfect for igniting the dance floor or lifting your spirits.

Let Me Love You ft. Justin BieberDJ Snake
DJ Snake’s “Let Me Love You ft.
Justin Bieber” is one of the songs I highly recommend to people who usually listen to Western pop music.
The vocals are by pop singer Justin Bieber, known for hits like “What Do You Mean?”, so if you already listen to pop in English, it may feel familiar and approachable.
The track’s tempo is also on the slower side for EDM, which makes it a great pick for beginners.

Bangarang feat. SirahSkrillex
“Bangarang feat.
Sirah” is a popular EDM track by American producer Skrillex.
It opens with a processed vocal from Sirah, then launches into razor-sharp, piercing synths that naturally amp you up as you listen.
The song’s structure keeps things engaging from start to finish, making it an easy favorite even for EDM newcomers—well worth a listen.
The break in the latter half, where things get quieter, is also super cool, so be sure to check it out!
