EDM recommended for party people: from the latest hits to timeless classics [2025]

HeroesAlesso

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

This song teaches us not to lose hope for life even when we’re facing adversity.

It sings that you and I can become heroes.

When I listen to it in tough times, it resonates deeply, and I feel the strength to keep going well up again—the powerful electronic tones, rhythms, and vibrations convey that energy.

Hardwell & Tiësto feat. Andreas Moe – Colors (OUT NOW!) #UnitedWeAre

The male vocals sing in a sweet, whisper-like tone, making this a track that, unusually for EDM, puts the vocals front and center.

With such an outstanding melody, music from other genres doesn’t stand a chance.

It even has a Daft Punk-like feel, so it’s a highly recommended track.

Don’t You Worry ChildSwedish House Mafia

Swedish House Mafia ft. John Martin – Don’t You Worry Child (Official Video)

It has a very masculine, hard-hitting melody line.

It definitely has an anthemic feel, yet there’s also a mellow vibe to it, making it a very cool track.

It seems to have many fans not only among men but also women.

Never Forget YouAfrojack

AFROJACK – Never Forget You (Official Lyric Video)

This work, released in March 2025 by Dutch artist Afrojack—who has long been active as a global master of progressive house—is a moving track that truly feels like a return to his roots.

Starting with a gentle piano intro and building with the passionate vocals of British singer-songwriter Paige Cavell, the arrangement blends nostalgia with freshness.

Updating the sound reminiscent of early-2010s hits like “Take Over Control” and “Ten Feet Tall” for the modern era, the track swells into a dramatic, festival-ready drop in the latter half.

Crank it up during summer drives or parties, and it’s guaranteed to elevate the atmosphere in an instant—an undeniable anthem.

BOPDababy

DaBaby – BOP on Broadway (Hip Hop Musical)

This is “Bop on Broadway” by DaBaby, a rapper from North Carolina.

It makes you feel like you’re walking through the tense, fearsome streets of New York! Throughout the track, there’s a melody separate from the vocals that uses a Mellotron-like sound.

The Mellotron is an instrument released in the ’60s, basically the original sampler.

Even tones considered old can sound fresh depending on how you use them.

Night Call (feat. Lil Yachty & Migos)Steve Aoki

Steve Aoki – Night Call feat. Lil Yachty & Migos (Official Video) [Ultra Music]

Steve Aoki, a leading figure in the EDM scene—this is his 2017 track “Night Call.” The collaboration with rappers Lil Yachty and Migos drew a lot of attention.

It’s a slow-tempo trap track whose languid drum beat sets the mood.

Lil Yachty and Migos deliver smooth, addictive flows that glide effortlessly over the beat.

It’s a song that makes you want to head out for a night on the town.

SouthSideDJ Snake, Eptic

DJ Snake x Eptic – SouthSide

SouthSide makes an immediate impact right from the intro.

It’s a great pick for fans of hard-hitting trap and dubstep.

Since it’s a pretty chaotic track, I’d recommend it more as a party tune than background music.

There’s a key change in the middle, which really keeps things engaging.
