HeroesAlesso

Alesso – Heroes (we could be) ft. Tove Lo

Alesso is a DJ from Sweden.

He’s one of the leading artists in the EDM (Electronic Dance Music) genre, which has seen a huge boom in recent years, and his shimmering, sparkling synth phrases are especially popular.

One of Alesso’s signature tracks is “Heroes.” It starts off restrained, builds together with the melody, and then explodes at the drop—the chorus where the melody is carried by synths rather than vocals—making it a textbook example of an EDM track.

The lyrics are moving as well.

“You and I can be heroes…” The words are simple, but for a young middle schooler, they might offer hope for the future; for an adult, they may evoke a slightly bittersweet nostalgia for the youthful days when anything seemed possible.

1 on the UK charts—originally released in August 2017, remixed by Sydney-born Australian DJ/producer Alison Wonderland.

Both are standout women currently making waves as a singer and a DJ, and with Alison Wonderland slated to perform at Ultra Japan 2017, this remix is drawing a lot of attention.

A graduate of the prestigious Faculty of Law at Leiden University, he’s also renowned for his wonderful character—simply a beloved DJ.

It’s a song that works both for dancing in the club and for quietly listening on your own.

One Touch (ft. AlunaGeorge & Rae Sremmurd)Baauer

Baauer – One Touch (ft. AlunaGeorge & Rae Sremmurd)

It’s written as Baauer and pronounced “Bauer.” He originally released his self-produced tracks for free on the internet, where he was discovered by the popular producer Diplo and made his debut.

He’s very much an artist of the internet generation.

His hallmark is a distinctive beat and damp, moody sound influenced by hip-hop.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this track, “One Touch,” encapsulates what makes Baauer great.

OverthrowBoys Noize

Boys Noize – Overthrow (Official Video)

Boys Noize is an EDM unit from Hamburg, Germany.

Germany, having once produced techno pioneers like Kraftwerk, is a techno powerhouse, and his tracks convey stronger techno elements than those of many other EDM artists.

Another hallmark is his distinctive gritty sound, which favors a cold, machine-made quality over warm human warmth.
