30 on the UK Singles Chart.

Disclosure – Higher Than Ever Before (Official Audio)

The perfect song for when you want to raise your energy is “Higher Than Ever Before.” It’s a track by Disclosure, the dance music duo from England.

They’re known for crafting songs with a strong focus on deep bass.

This track also lets you enjoy a rich, hefty sound.

But rather than simply stacking heavy tones, the key is how they pair them with high frequencies to make the low end stand out even more.

Hardwell & Sub Zero Project – Judgement Day (Official Video)

Heavy, hard-hitting tracks are compelling because you can really feel their power.

With that in mind, let me introduce “Judgement Day.” It’s a song produced by the Dutch music producer Hardwell together with the duo Sub Zero Project.

I’d like you to pay attention not only to the sound but also to the lyrics.

In fact, the song sings about the arrival of Judgment Day, which is a bit scary.

Keeping that in mind as you listen will make the sound feel even more intense and impactful.

Jax Jones, Martin Solveig, RAYE, Europa – Tequila

Is it just me, or does this give the impression of carrying on the lineage of classic upper-house hits like Alexandra Stan’s “Mr.

Saxobeat” and “Destination Calabria” by Alex Gaudino and Crystal Waters? A modern dance track with a future house flavor, where the saxophone’s sound lends a touch of melancholy.

It’s a comfortable tune with a steady, unhurried mood—neither too upper nor too deep.

All Night (feat. Ally Brooke)Afrojack26rank/position

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

His tracks are catchy and happy—perhaps a bit lacking in novelty, conversely—but this might be the kind of mood that defines a lowest-common-denominator anthem in club music.

In 2020, I have a feeling listeners will be split cleanly into “love it” or “hate it.” But that’s when you’re listening on earphones; I feel it’s an indispensable number for peak-time at a festival, like in the music video.

So, which side are you on?

TSUNAMIDVBBS27rank/position

DVBBS & Borgeous – TSUNAMI (Original Mix)

A big-room house track released in August 2013 whose thunderous low end shakes listeners to the core.

It’s a collaborative single by Canadian electronic duo Dvbbs and American DJ Borgeous.

Its massive drop and break shake the body and generate an energy that unites crowd and DJ as one.

Topping the UK Singles Chart and surpassing 500 million views on YouTube, this record set numerous milestones and continues to reign as a landmark of festival house.

Highly recommended for those who want to experience the bass-heavy sound that epitomizes the EDM scene at clubs and festivals.

Firestone ft. Conrad SewellKygo28rank/position

Kygo – Firestone ft. Conrad Sewell (Official Video)

This track is packed with the charm of tropical house.

Produced by Kygo, it was released in December 2014 and reached number one on the Norwegian singles chart.

The gentle, warm sound and Conrad Sewell’s smooth vocals are particularly striking.

Centered on themes of love and passion, it carries a hopeful message that the bond between two people can make the world a brighter place.

With a pleasant rhythm and melody that even those unfamiliar with music can enjoy, it’s a perfect entry point into EDM.

Highly recommended for times when you want to relax or enjoy music in a calm mood.
