[Endless Summer EDM] Best Tropical House: Latest and All-Time Classics (2025)

Tear Me Down (feat. Philip Rustad)Davai

Davai – Tear Me Down ft. Philip Rustad

The intro features a very moody, disco-tinged bassline.

From there, it unfolds into a classic modern house sound you’d never expect from the start.

With buoyant, summery melodies and a straight-ahead, crowd-pleasing groove, it’s a catchy track that will appeal to just about anyone.

It’s a collaboration between Davai and Philip Rustad, intertwining the distinct styles of two producers behind many past hits.

Highly recommended if you’re in the mood for tropical house—if you know someone who is, be sure to share it with them.

Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better) [feat. Jasmine Thompson] [Extended Mix]Felix Jaehn

Felix Jaehn – Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better) (Official Video) ft. Jasmine Thompson

DJ Felix Jaehn’s track “Ain’t Nobody,” featuring vocals by Jasmine Thompson.

The familiar timbre you hear is a xylophone.

Its warm, woody tone is the source of the track’s pleasing sound, and it’s a number you can really dance to—with great lyrics as well.

CapsizeFrenship & Emily Warren

Frenship & Emily Warren – Capsize (Official Video)

A vibrant electropop track released in 2016.

It’s a collaboration between the American duo Frenship and songwriter Emily Warren, with Scott Hoffmann of Scissor Sisters involved in the production.

MessiahKlingande

Klingande & Bright Sparks – Messiah (Official Video) [Ultra Music]

The vocal melody line is distinctive! Klingande released this tropical disco track on ULTRA, the prestigious label for bright, sparkly EDM.

It features a characteristically slow BPM typical of tropical house.

Even so, it became a floor hit and a radio staple, so many people have probably heard it somewhere at least once.

The bluesy melody paired with a combination that feels fresh yet familiar, plus a track with slightly quirky timbres, tightens up the overall vibe.

Clap Your HandsKungs

Kungs – Clap Your Hands (Clip Officiel)

It sounds exactly like what the title suggests—an upbeat, high-energy groove that makes you want to start clapping and dancing along! “Clap Your Hands” is a track by Kungs, a young French artist born in 1996, included on his second album, Club Azur, released in 2022.

Although Kungs is widely popular as one of the leading figures in tropical house, this particular song leans more toward disco and, as mentioned at the start, is packed with danceable elements.

Those familiar with 1980s Italo disco will recognize that it samples “Happy Song,” released in 1983 by the children’s group Baby’s Gang.

Naturally, it’s a thoroughly disco sound, yet it’s fascinating how tropical house–style synths pop up here and there.

Why not enjoy it from the perspective of “disco crafted by a torchbearer of tropical house”?

Hold MeLavern

Lavern – Hold Me (Lyrics)

Composer LeVarn, who has gained popularity for his stylish musicality.

While many producers focus on trend-conscious trackmaking, he stays true to his own sound.

He may not be globally famous, but he’s highly regarded within the scene.

Among his works, one track I especially recommend is “Hold Me.” It’s an attractive piece with a distinctive sound that blends elements of tropical house, deep house, and progressive house in just the right balance.

He’s a popular DJ around the world and has quite a large following in Japan as well.

His tracks are very approachable, with an appealing, feel-good, open atmosphere.

Above all, both his melodies and his appearance have a simple, unpretentious quality that makes him feel relatable.
