Now That I Found YouCarly Rae Jepsen
She, who gained many fans in Japan with the worldwide hit Call Me Maybe in 2011, has completely grown up! Her sound is still as cute and poppy as ever! This song will surely be a big hit at school festivals too! It’s the kind of groove that makes you naturally start keeping the rhythm and want to dance! Known for her love of Japan, our beloved star is said to be very close friends with celebrity Rola.
Boom ClapCharli XCX
An impressive electropop number that likens the vibrancy of romance to a pounding heartbeat was released by UK artist Charli XCX in June 2014.
Vividly capturing the feeling of being in love, the track was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars and included on the album Sucker.
It became a major hit, reaching No.
8 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No.
6 on the UK Singles Chart.
With powerful beats and shimmering synths, it portrays the exhilaration and passion of falling in love.
It’s also a highly polished pop tune that can light up the dance floor—perfect for dance performances at school festivals—and an ideal pick for anyone who wants to express the feeling of love with their whole body.
Light Switch (Tiësto Remix)Charlie Puth
Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who gained worldwide popularity with the theme song of the hit movie “Fast & Furious,” See You Again feat.
Charlie Puth, continues to be at the forefront of the scene with his wide musical range.
This track, Light Switch (Tiësto Remix), is a remix by music producer Tiësto of the first song he released in 2022.
Since it carries little of the original song’s vibe, you can enjoy it purely as EDM.
It’s a catchy, upbeat track, so please consider using it as BGM for your school festival.
TekaDJ Snake, Peso Pluma
The dance number “Teka,” a collaboration between DJ Snake and Peso Pluma, lives up to its title—Spanish for “discoteca” (nightclub)—with catchy, club-themed lyrics and an infectious beat.
Blending elements of electronic dance music and Latin sounds, its hooky melody makes you want to start dancing.
It’s the perfect track for getting hyped with friends.
Let’s LoveDavid Guetta & Sia
David Guetta is a DJ who represents France.
Active since the 2000s, he’s known for his wide musical range, from house music to pop and hip-hop.
One of his collaborations with the popular Australian artist Sia is the track “Let’s Love.” Released in 2020, it blends the recent trend of 80s-inspired sounds with a vibe that evokes cyberpunk.
It’s a genre that’s sure to become mainstream, so it’s a must-check for dance club members!
Stay (Don’t Go Away)David Guetta feat Raye
Highly recommended for those who love the vibe of modern dance music that traces back to the roots of house! “Stay (Don’t Go Away)” by David Guetta featuring RAYE blends classic house beats with EDM leads, a bouncy bassline, and RAYE’s beautiful vocals to perfection.
The bassline in particular feels light and snappy, making you want to move with the rhythm.
Break My HeartDua Lipa
Dua Lipa, a singer with a low, husky voice who enjoys international popularity.
She’s a major artist who frequently ranks high on the charts in Japan as well, so many of you probably know her.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend for school cultural festivals is “Break My Heart.” While its structure is simple and evokes classic house, each individual sound is crafted into a highly refined melody, making it a perfect match for shuffle dance!
