Alesso – I Wanna Know ft. Nico & Vinz

This track is dance music built on programmed drum-machine beats, layered with a vocal-style melody.

In a sense, it’s a surefire crowd-pleaser, so I think most people will like it.

As we head into summer, you’ll probably be hearing it more and more.

Can’t Get EnoughBRKLYN ft. Mariah McManus

BRKLYN ft. Mariah McManus – Can’t Get Enough

It’s a track I personally like a lot.

Rather than typical dance music, it places importance on the timbre of string instruments, and the female vocals have impressive range.

On top of that, it carries the uplifting feel of house and the explosive power to drive it toward a Eurobeat-style climax.

Disclosure – Latch ft. Sam Smith

A track by the UK garage house duo Disclosure, featuring future Grammy-winning singer Sam Smith as a guest vocalist.

The music video, which portrays three couples, is also beautiful and generated a lot of buzz.

Major Lazer & MOTi – Boom (feat. Ty Dolla $ign, Wizkid, & Kranium) [Official Audio]

It’s a dance track that starts with a deep, low-voiced rap.

Rap and hip-hop pair well with dance music, so big-name artists have always collaborated in this combo since way back.

I can easily see this song playing everywhere once summer rolls around.
