Rapidly rising in popularity! Featured up-and-coming recommended DJs [2020] (11–20)
Late Night Feelings (Krystal Klear Remix) ft. Lykke LiKrystal Klear
I deliberately chose this track.
His “Neutron Dance” is very famous, right? This one is a remix, and the original is a pop song by Mark Ronson that became popular enough to chart in the U.
S.
Getting to remix his work is a huge honor.
Crystal Clear is a very popular DJ in Scandinavia and is great at reviving that ’80s disco touch, and as you can hear, his arrangement skills are top-notch.
He’s never flashy, but since he’s operating around the very top tier of the global scene, I think more people will start paying attention.
Paradise (Feat. Insight)Rossi
Rossi’s set is inspired by tech house that emphasizes minimal grooves, a style rapidly gaining popularity across Europe.
His work has a subtly jazzy, stylish flair, with soulful basslines as a defining feature.
Musically, he draws inspiration from the sounds of Archie Hamilton, Rosko & Jevanni, and Michael James.
Terminal SlamSquarepusher
Squarepusher has returned to Japan for the first time in five years, releasing a solo tour and an album.
An artist from Cornwall, England, he rose to global prominence around the same time as Aphex Twin and is now a seasoned veteran, but in 2020 his new endeavors are drawing attention.
He has enlisted Japan’s renowned visual artist Daito Manabe and is showing a strong commitment to his music videos.
Perhaps he found inspiration in Japan, which is in the spotlight with the Tokyo Olympics? Anticipation among fans is mounting for his live shows and more.
A Godless PeopleTHUGWIDOW X VVV
Sagwindow is the solo project of Manchester-born Alex Lowther-Harris.
Known for crafting bass music rooted in experimental drum and bass, he’s a DJ quickly gaining attention.
From his slightly off-kilter beats to his gritty, saturated sound palette, his taste sets him clearly apart.
StrongerPrismo
A young charismatic figure in the future bass scene who debuted in 2016.
He quickly captivated many fans and gained a following.
He’s already a well-known and trusted artist around the EDM mainstream, but his popularity in Japan is still on the rise—we’d love to see him become a presence here like The Chainsmokers!
StressEDDIE
A DJ from Melbourne originally rooted in electro house, now moving between bass music and dubstep, known for highly original, intricately crafted productions.
He’s already collaborated with deadmau5, so the sound design is insanely detailed.
Like him, he’s a DJ shrouded in a mysterious veil of anonymity, and it feels like he’s actually been around for quite a long time.

PuzzleRetrovision
RetroVision, a DJ from France known for energetic, catchy melodies.
This track, written in the key of E-flat major, fuses future bounce and electro house.
Its sound design is exquisitely assembled, creating a unique world as if puzzle pieces fit together perfectly.
Released in June 2016, the track was also included on the album “NCS: The Best of 2016” and became a major hit with over 100 million views on YouTube.
The vivid sound crafted by this young talent makes it a versatile choice for high-energy party scenes and as background music in video production.
