No explanation needed: David Guetta, the Paris-born music producer recognized worldwide as the strongest DJ, continues to churn out massive hits.

He’s in such high demand in the pop music world, teaming up with major artists, that many music fans may no longer even think of him strictly within house or EDM.

Now he’s released a supreme track to heat up summer dance floors even more: “Baby Don’t Hurt Me”! Dropped in May 2023, it’s a powerful killer tune featuring Anne-Marie and Coi Leray as guests.

It references Haddaway’s 1993 mega-hit “What Is Love? (Baby Don’t Hurt Me),” and with its strong dance-pop flavor, it’s a must-listen even for those who aren’t big on EDM.

Judgement DayHardwell & Sub Zero Project

Hardwell & Sub Zero Project – Judgement Day (Official Video)

Heavy, hard-hitting tracks are compelling because you can really feel their power.

With that in mind, let me introduce “Judgement Day.” It’s a song produced by the Dutch music producer Hardwell together with the duo Sub Zero Project.

I’d like you to pay attention not only to the sound but also to the lyrics.

In fact, the song sings about the arrival of Judgment Day, which is a bit scary.

Keeping that in mind as you listen will make the sound feel even more intense and impactful.

Released in June 2023, “0800 HEAVEN” is an irresistibly catchy electro–dance-pop track by UK DJ and producer Joel Corry—known for hits like “Sorry,” “Head & Heart,” and “Bed”—teaming up with fellow UK star DJ Nathan Dawe.

Featuring Ella Henderson, a powerhouse vocalist in high demand both as a solo artist and a guest in the dance music scene, the song pairs a thrilling up-tempo electro beat with Henderson’s piercingly beautiful voice—perfect for summer drives.

HAPPY SONGRay Volpe

RAY VOLPE – HAPPY SONG (Official Visualizer)

Ray Volpe is a new-generation music producer from the United States.

A great entry point to get to know him is “HAPPY SONG.

” It’s a rather unique track.

In the first half, he sings about happiness over an ominous beat—there’s quite a striking contrast.

Then, in the second half, the key changes and the sound shifts to something more mellow.

What kind of message is hidden within it? If you listen closely to the occasional sampled voices, you might find out.

I DIDNT WANT IT LIKE THISSISTO

SISTO – I DIDNT WANT IT LIKE THIS (Official Music Video)

As a slightly horror-tinged track, let me introduce “I DIDNT WANT IT LIKE THIS.” It’s a song released by music producer Shisuto.

The title means “I didn’t want to do that,” which already gives it an ominous feel.

The sound blends pounding sub-bass with dissonance, creating a fierce finish.

It can feel a little scary, but it becomes addictive as you listen.

Also, don’t miss the cinematic music video.

If you thought “Dance With Somebody” was that smash hit by Whitney Houston, “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” you’re absolutely right! This “Dance With Somebody” by Dutch EDM DJs Sam Feldt and Benny Bridges dropped in May 2023 and is a fresh killer tune made to light up summer clubs and festivals.

As mentioned at the start, it’s essentially a full-on club reinterpretation of Whitney’s classic.

If you know the original, you’ll love it—and even if you don’t, the melody is so strong that younger music fans unfamiliar with the original will have a blast too!

Friday (ft. Fridayy)The Chainsmokers

Friday

The Chainsmokers have taken the world by storm with countless global hits, powered by EDM-driven tracks and irresistibly catchy melodies you can’t forget after a single listen.

As of 2024, they’ve announced they’re embarking on the “sixth chapter” of their musical journey, and this track, Friday, is the second installment.

It features Fridayy, who has been nominated for a Grammy and drew attention in 2023 with his self-titled debut album.

There’s a quintessential Chainsmokers sense of humor in bringing on a singer whose name matches the song title.

With hints that nod to “2016,” the track recalls the romantic, mellow vibe of their classic Closer released that same year.

It’s a great pick even for those who aren’t into the hard-hitting side of EDM.
