Don’t Stop80KIDZ

80KIDZ | Don’t Stop (Official Audio)

A track that heavily uses vocoders, with a disco-like bassline, a techno-leaning approach, and their signature Balearic style—its urbane, sharp piano tones gently envelop the ears.

It’s a song by 80kidz, released digitally in July 2019.

When it comes to the heyday of French electro, the only unit from Japan that truly broke onto the global stage was this duo—though to be precise, they were a trio at the time.

The female member, MAYU, left in 2009.

Even so, they became ever more active, releasing numerous works and growing into a band that gigs around the world.

All Night (feat. Ally Brooke)Afrojack

Afrojack – All Night (feat. Ally Brooke) [Official Lyric Video]

Afrojack, the popular DJ known for catchy, happy, fail-safe productions! On the flip side, it might be a bit lacking in novelty, but maybe this is exactly the vibe of club music as a greatest-common-denominator anthem.

In 2020, I have a feeling listeners will be cleanly split into “love it” or “hate it.” But that’s when you’re listening on earbuds—personally, I feel it’s an essential track for a festival peak-time moment like in the music video.

So, which side are you on?

SorryAlan Walker & ISÁK

Alan Walker & ISÁK – Sorry (Official Music Video)

The rising producer Alan Walker, born in 1997 and from Norway, released his track “Sorry” on January 29, 2021.

He collaborated with a group called ISÁK, who are also active in Norway.

The vocals by ISÁK’s singer, Ella, are especially striking.

While the song carries a dark atmosphere, the buildup from the midway point to the ending is exhilarating.

If you like dark and serious tracks, this one will definitely hit the spot!

You Little BeautyFisher

FISHER – You Little Beauty (Official Music Video)

Tech house, the most talked-about style of dance music in 2018 and 2019.

It has now become a standard form of dance music overseas, with large festivals dedicated to tech house gaining popularity.

He is also a DJ and producer active at the forefront of the scene.

For those not used to it, tech house can sound a bit monotonous, but this kind of sound is actually the trend in dance music abroad.

You hear it a lot in Japanese clubs, but there still aren’t many people who listen to it by choice in their everyday lives.

Maybe it’ll even blow up on TikTok before long?
