Rapidly rising in popularity! Featured up-and-coming recommended DJs [2020] (11–20)
A Godless PeopleTHUGWIDOW X VVV
Sagwindow is the solo project of Manchester-born Alex Lowther-Harris.
Known for crafting bass music rooted in experimental drum and bass, he’s a DJ quickly gaining attention.
From his slightly off-kilter beats to his gritty, saturated sound palette, his taste sets him clearly apart.
F U L L / B U R S T1788-L
Many of you may already know them, as they have released remixes for artists like Daft Punk and Kraftwerk, but they’re a producer to keep an eye on going forward.
They also support Isabelle Rezazadeh—known by her stage name, Rezz—on tour, so we can expect even greater achievements from this DJ in the future!
I Miss The SeaAriel Zetina
Ariel Zetina is a Chicago-based artist known as a DJ, producer, and performer.
She has been a resident at Chicago club Smartbar since 2018 and hosts her own events at nightclubs in Berlin.
Her debut EP, Cyst—released on Boukan Records to critical acclaim—is a conceptual work that reflects her own career.
Late Night Feelings (Krystal Klear Remix) ft. Lykke LiKrystal Klear
I deliberately chose this track.
His “Neutron Dance” is very famous, right? This one is a remix, and the original is a pop song by Mark Ronson that became popular enough to chart in the U.S.
Getting to remix his work is a huge honor.
Crystal Clear is a very popular DJ in Scandinavia and is great at reviving that ’80s disco touch, and as you can hear, his arrangement skills are top-notch.
He’s never flashy, but since he’s operating around the very top tier of the global scene, I think more people will start paying attention.
StrongerPrismo
A young charismatic figure in the future bass scene who debuted in 2016.
He quickly captivated many fans and gained a following.
He’s already a well-known and trusted artist around the EDM mainstream, but his popularity in Japan is still on the rise—we’d love to see him become a presence here like The Chainsmokers!
StressEDDIE
A DJ from Melbourne originally rooted in electro house, now moving between bass music and dubstep, known for highly original, intricately crafted productions.
He’s already collaborated with deadmau5, so the sound design is insanely detailed.
Like him, he’s a DJ shrouded in a mysterious veil of anonymity, and it feels like he’s actually been around for quite a long time.

PuzzleRetrovision
RetroVision, a DJ from France known for energetic, catchy melodies.
This track, written in the key of E-flat major, fuses future bounce and electro house.
Its sound design is exquisitely assembled, creating a unique world as if puzzle pieces fit together perfectly.
Released in June 2016, the track was also included on the album “NCS: The Best of 2016” and became a major hit with over 100 million views on YouTube.
The vivid sound crafted by this young talent makes it a versatile choice for high-energy party scenes and as background music in video production.
