Hardwell & ShortRound – Goes Like This

Hardwell, the Dutch producer known as a leading figure in electro house and tech house, also performed at the Odaiba event ULTRA JAPAN, so if you’re into EDM, you’ve probably heard of him.

The track where he teams up with producer Shortround, who is active mainly on SoundCloud, is Goes Like This.

The two collaborated in 2022, and just like the acclaim they received back then, this release once again showcases how well their highly compatible musical styles mesh.

BREATHING UNDERWATERHot Milk

Hot Milk – BREATHING UNDERWATER (Official Video)

Twin-vocal band Hot Milk.

Their lead single from the debut album A CALL TO THE VOID is BREATHING UNDERWATER.

This track likens the feeling of being crushed by anxiety and pressure to drowning.

The fierce, almost shouted vocals sound like cries from the heart, and the harmonized chorus by the two singers is absolutely powerful.

Though it’s a dark song, listening to it may give you courage through its strength.

BOREDINJI

INJI – BORED (Official Lyric Video)

INJI, who’s been gaining attention for her stylish sound, released a disco track called “BORED.” The title means feeling bored.

The lyrics speak to people who find their daily lives dull, telling them, “Let’s get hyped together.” Toward the end, there’s a rap section and a chorus sampling INJI’s name, both of which lift the listener’s mood.

Whether you like cool tracks or upbeat, fast-paced ones, you’re likely to enjoy this song.

Jason Mraz is a singer known for his sweet vocals.

Have you listened to his album Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, which collects his pop songs? Among them, the one I especially want to highlight is I Feel Like Dancing.

It’s a rhythmic track with the message “Let’s just dance and have fun.” That’s why it’s perfect for those times when you want to cut loose and go all out at karaoke.

Joel Corry & Caity Baser – Dance Around It [Official Lyric Video]

British music producer Joel Corry and singer-songwriter Caity Baser teamed up for Dance Around It.

It’s an upbeat-tempo EDM track whose lyrics urge you to “just dance and forget all your problems.” True to the words, the soothing rhythm makes it easy to lose yourself and leave stress behind.

The chorus repeats the same phrase, making it perfect for anyone who wants to sing along and get hyped.

정국 (Jung Kook) ‘3D (feat. Jack Harlow)’ Official MV

Jungkook of BTS released his solo single “3D” in October 2023.

It’s his second solo release and features American rapper Jack Harlow as a guest.

The lyrics tied to the title “3D,” especially the line about wanting to see you from various perspectives, are striking.

It’s an R&B tune with a Latin-flavored chord progression, and the simple combination of bass and electric piano gives it a cool finish.

It’s a danceable number, so be sure to give it a listen!

KSHMR – Tears On The Dancefloor (feat. Hannah Boleyn) [Night Mode] – Official Visualizer

KSHMR is a producer drawing attention in the EDM scene.

An artist with Indian roots, he excels at weaving Indian, oriental sounds into his tracks.

Among his works, the new song I especially recommend is Tears On The Dancefloor (feat.

Hannah Boleyn).

It’s an energetic EDM track infused with elements of Goa trance.

Definitely give it a listen.
