I’m Good (Blue)David Guetta & Bebe Rexha
Bebe Rexha is a female electropop singer with the unusual background of coming from rock.
Her collaboration with world-renowned music producer David Guetta is this track, “I’m Good (Blue).” While a lot of dance music lately tends to be downbeat and minimal, this song is crafted in the classic late-2010s EDM style.
It also has a stylish vibe, making it a great recommendation as background music for areas displaying artworks.
WTF R U!?Don Diablo x Lucky Luke
An energetic track that will set the dance floor on fire has arrived.
This collaboration between Dutch producer Don Diablo and Lithuanian artist Lucky Luke blends classic house sounds with a modern twist, resulting in a fresh, innovative piece.
Released in January 2024, it’s already captivating listeners around the world.
Despite its short 2-minute-and-32-second runtime, the track is packed with both artists’ personalities and leaves a strong impression.
It’s perfect not only as background music for school festivals and cultural events, but also as a performance piece for dance teams.
An ideal song for boosting lively, party-like vibes.
Don’t Start NowDua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” radiates the beauty and strength of a powerful woman.
It’s perfect as a dance BGM, of course, but I think it also sounds incredibly cool with a live band.
Especially for all the bassists out there—this is your moment! From crafting your tone to building the groove, it’s packed with all the best bits for bass players.
It’s a tasty number that can even make collaborations happen across club boundaries—live performance meets dance.

Love AgainDua Lipa
Dua Lipa, a British female singer admired and respected by women around the world, is known for many house-inspired tracks.
While she reigns as a staple in the dance music scene, her voice has a low, husky tone, creating a striking contrast with her very cool vocal style.
Her hit song “Love Again” is one of her more orthodox dance numbers, crafted with a beat that anyone can easily groove to.
I think it’s perfect as background music for a school festival, so why not give it a try?
Body MovingEliza Rose, Calvin Harris
The ultimate collaboration between two leading UK artists, Eliza Rose and Calvin Harris, has arrived: “Body Moving.” It’s a house track that evokes ’80s club and disco music, finished with a modern, stylish vibe.
