Defeat The Night (feat. Ashley Apollodor)JPB

German producer JPB, who has been active on NCS since 2015, is known for works that blend future bass and dubstep.
His track “Defeat The Night (feat.
Ashley Apollodor)” became one of his signature pieces and gained worldwide popularity.
The standout appeal of this song is undoubtedly the impact of its drop.
The heavy drop, which unfolds with a noticeably reduced BPM, has a kinship with the hip-hop-influenced dance music seen in today’s K-pop scene.
Turn It UpAnikdote

Released in 2016, “Turn It Up” is an energetic track by Anikdote.
Featuring the hybrid trap subgenre, its powerful beat is a major draw.
This piece lets you charge up with his cool style and energy, making it perfect for situations where you need to get pumped to the beat or motivate yourself.
It’s a versatile track that works well for training like weightlifting or running, for focused tasks like studying or work, and even for video editing—so be sure to check it out.
Royalty (ft. Neoni)Egzod & Maestro Chives

The collaboration “Royalty (ft.
Neoni)” by Egzod and Maestro Chives is a powerful electronic track themed around confidence and battle.
Released in 2021, it features the dynamic vocals of the duo Neoni.
Conveying the strength to carve out one’s own path despite the struggle, this song is recommended for drivers speeding through city nights and for anyone taking on a challenge.

Energetic and highly melodic, it was released under the NCS label and leaves a strong impression on listeners.

TALKING $$$HIT FT. SEJOFCTS (prod. style free)MACKAVON

In today’s royalty-free music scene, NCS is the mainstream.
However, that mainly applies to dance music like EDM, and lately masterpieces of hip-hop have been emerging from various royalty-free labels.
One release I recommend is “TALKING $$$HIT FT.
SEJOFCTS (prod.
style free).” It’s a track by Jamaican rapper Makkabon, and this work has been gaining attention from parts of the hip-hop community as one of his signature songs.
Superhero (feat. Chris Linton)Unknown Brain

The EDM duo Unknown Brain’s “Superhero” is an energetic track released by NCS in 2016.
It features catchy melodies and moving vocals that captivate listeners, and it’s especially popular in the EDM scene.
The collaboration between Unknown Brain and Chris Linton shines, resulting in a song that delivers a powerful message.
It’s recommended not only for creators and TikTok users, but also for times when you need an extra boost of energy!
CradlesSub Urban

Sub Urban’s “Cradles,” which revolutionized the music scene, has enjoyed explosive worldwide popularity since its 2019 release, led by TikTok.
Born from NCS, the track captivates with razor-sharp lyrics that confront self-destructive behavior and loneliness, and a dreamlike sound where electronic beats intertwine with classical guitar.
It’s the perfect song both as background music to express your own creative world and to break free from daily routines.
Highly recommended for visual creators and devoted music lovers alike.
