Jonas Blue, who also has a tour in Japan scheduled for 2020, is known for his style often described as “tropical house.” True to the genre’s upbeat vibe, his music is characterized by many fun, exhilarating, danceable tracks.

Every sound—and the overall build of each track—lifts your spirits.

Dimension – Saviour (ft. Sharlene Hector)

When it comes to talking about drum and bass, you can’t leave out the UK-born producer Dimension.

He rarely appears in the media, releasing tracks like a taciturn craftsman.

The track we’re introducing here is called “Saviour.” The featured singer, Sharlene Hector, is also a veteran vocalist from the UK.

Her bright, powerful vocals match the song’s sense of speed perfectly.

It’s the kind of track you’ll want to listen to on a late-night drive.

CrusadeMarshmello & SVDDEN DEATH

Marshmello x SVDDEN DEATH – Crusade

The hit sound is layered with the beam spray gun sound used by the GM from Mobile Suit Gundam.

It’s a playful bit of sound design that’s very Marshmello! His signature catchy melodies are alive and well, too.

With a bass-music-leaning flavor, it might occupy a similar position to the evolved dubstep sound that’s been rapidly gaining attention in recent years, like Zomboy.

If you’re thinking “I love this kind of stimulating sound!”, be sure to look deeper into their tracks as well.

Drown (feat. Clinton Kane)Martin Garrix

Martin Garrix feat. Clinton Kane – Drown (Official Video)

This is a sing-along dance-pop track featuring singer-songwriter Clinton Kane.

The break showcases a beautiful melody that feels like you can hear a massive crowd chorus on the dance floor, while the drop delivers a new-generation sound that uses a tension-and-release feel emblematic of the 2020s.

In stark contrast to past EDM, it forgoes flashy effects and excessive drum rolls, opting for a relatively gentle arrangement that feels pleasant.

Perhaps this is the kind of mood the times are calling for.

Used To LoveMartin Garrix & Dean Lewis

Martin Garrix & Dean Lewis – Used To Love (Official Video)

This is a surprising track for fans, released in October 2019, in which Dean Lewis—who scored a massive hit with “Be Alright” in 2018—teams up with big room ace Martin Garrix.

It marks a complete departure from Garrix’s usual style, embracing a gentle, ballad-like feel.

Crafted as a pop song, it’s a grand and sweeping piece.

SOS ft. Aloe BlaccAvicii

Avicii – SOS (Fan Memories Video) ft. Aloe Blacc

It’s a song that can be considered his posthumous work; by 2018, the year he passed away, it was already 90% complete.

In this track he entrusted to the future, his own struggles are expressed.

Avicii, the legendary producer of the EDM scene, continues to be loved around the world even after leaving this life.

The song was released in 2019, and in the music video you can see messages from fans to him.

The footage was created by fans and is treated as an official release.

Trust NobodyDJ Snake

DJ SNAKE – TRUST NOBODY (OUT NOW)

DJ Snake has many fans in Japan as well.

As a producer, he helped create Lady Gaga’s Grammy-winning work, making his presence known to the world.

His own activities as an artist also show no signs of slowing down.

The track “TRUST NOBODY,” introduced here, showcases his hitmaker sensibilities that have delivered numerous chart-toppers.

He lifts the energy when you want it to rise, and pulls it down hard when you want it to drop, dynamically shifting the intensity right where listeners crave it.

A powerful track!
