Cool NCS tracks: A collection of hype bangers (1–10)
InvincibleDEAF KEV
Def Kev, a German music producer who enjoys overwhelming popularity on NCS, is constantly in the spotlight for his glitch hop- and electro house–driven sound.
Among his works, the track I especially recommend is Invincible.
It’s the third most-played song on NCS and delivers a stylish EDM finish.
Since it’s often used on channels that explain manga and anime, many of you have probably heard it before.
EnergyElektronomia
Electronomia is a mysterious British artist whose true identity remains unknown.
Strictly speaking, it’s both an artist name and the name of a YouTube channel.
Among the many tracks released by Electronomia—who is also very popular on NCS—the one I especially recommend is “Energy.” It’s a melodious EDM piece that conveys a delicate atmosphere rather than a flashy one.
Since it’s used as background music on various YouTube channels, many of you may already be familiar with it.
Sky HighElektronomia
Electronomia is a channel that enjoys immense popularity on YouTube.
They upload their own music and also perform under the same name as an artist.
Among Electronomia’s works, the track I especially recommend is Sky High.
It’s a familiar piece in Japan and is used by various explanatory or commentary-style YouTube channels.
Its impactful, addictive synthesizers are outstanding—definitely give it a listen.
SamuraiJim Yosef
Jim Yosef is a music producer from Scotland, known for his strengths in progressive house and commercial house.
Among his works, the track I especially recommend is Samurai.
He isn’t just a house musician—most of his songs fall into the future bass genre.
This track is one of those as well.
Despite the title Samurai, it doesn’t feature a traditional Japanese-style melody; instead, it’s crafted with an energetic, futuristic sound.
Love URazihel
Rajhel, an Italy-born music producer known for his wide-ranging musicality, has been gaining popularity.
Italy is one of the countries where future bass and deep house are especially developed, producing major artists like Meduza.
Among Rajhel’s works, the track we particularly recommend is “Love U.” It’s a familiar song in Japan as well, used by popular YouTuber Cabhey as his ending theme.
It’s an EDM track that’s heavy yet fresh in vibe, making it perfect for driving music and more.
ShineSpektrem
Spectrum is a music producer gaining attention in the house music scene.
He debuted on NCS in 2013 and released “Shine,” which, in fact, is the most popular track in the entire NCS catalog.
As proof, it has racked up over 150 million views on YouTube.
The song’s appeal, I believe, lies in its energetic yet seamless structure.
It’s surprisingly rare to find EDM with not a single dull moment, so be sure to check it out.
Heroes Tonight (feat. Johnning)Janji
Music producer Janji, known for his progressive house-driven sound, has gained popularity.
While he may not be a fully established producer yet, he has dropped several memorable hit tunes.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “Heroes Tonight (feat.
Johnning).” It’s the second most-played track on NCS and features a serious, polished melody.
Since many YouTubers use this song, chances are you’ve heard it at least once.
