Complicated ft. Ryan CaraveoSteve Aoki & Yves V
The hit track “Complicated ft.
Ryan Caraveo” by Steve Aoki and Yves V has gained popularity in house music.
Yves V specializes in rare subgenres of house such as general electro, progressive house, and Dutch house, and this piece features his distinctive sound.
Deep house and 1980s disco sounds are set to become trends in the 2020s, so high school students who want to stay ahead of the curve should definitely check it out.
NEW DANCEXG
XG is a seven-member girls’ group gaining attention in the electro-pop scene.
They’re popular for their striking looks, bold fashion, and high-level performances.
Among their songs, the dance track I’d recommend to high school students is the pre-release single from their 1st mini-album NEW DNA.
It’s an upbeat dance-pop piece with an extremely high-energy chorus.
Released in August 2023, the track conveys the joy of self-expression and the bonds between friends.
The rhythm is easy to follow, so it’s great for school festival performances too! The lyrics, which celebrate the fun of dancing freely, are especially memorable.
Definitely check it out.
Runaway (U & I)Galantis
This progressive house masterpiece by the Swedish EDM duo Galantis delivers an unprecedented sense of euphoria.
With its energetic beat and sampled female vocals, it’s a track that creates truly dazzling moments.
Released in October 2014, it was featured in Absolut Vodka’s 2016 advertising campaign and on the soundtrack of the popular game Forza Horizon 3, earning acclaim that led to a nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 58th Grammy Awards.
Its powerful rhythm and exhilarating melodic lines make it perfect for warm-ups or entrance scenes at school sports days and athletic festivals, uniting everyone’s spirits and filling the entire venue with vibrant energy.
Last TimeBecky Hill
Becky Hill is a U.S.-born singer known for her powerful singing style and husky voice.
While she isn’t that well-known in Japan, she’s extremely popular in the United States.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend for high school students is “Last Time.” It has a classic dance-pop melody that evokes the 2010s, and Becky Hill’s powerhouse vocals are on full display from start to finish—so it’s guaranteed to get you pumped!
BEDJoel Corry x RAYE x David Guetta
The masterpiece “BED” was created by three artists: French music producer David Guetta, British pop singer RAYE, and British DJ Joel Corry, who is also active as a television personality.
Released in February 2021, this track is characterized by its light house sound.
Because the song lacks strong dynamic shifts, it might be hard to use for a school festival performance, but it’s highly recommended as a party song.
PressureMartin Garrix feat. Tove Lo
Martin Garrix, a Dutch music producer with worldwide popularity, has enjoyed global success since the early 2010s and has been highly acclaimed as a top DJ since the mid-2010s.
The track he collaborated on with Swedish singer Tove Lo is Pressure.
Released in 2021, this piece is crafted into a distinctive form of house music that can’t quite be called deep house.
It’s a stylish dance number—high school students, don’t miss it!
