Tiësto – Adagio For Strings

Tiesto, an indispensable figure when talking about EDM, included Adagio For Strings on his album Just Be.

The piece was originally composed by the American composer Samuel Barber, and this version is an arrangement.

While the original is in triple meter, it has been reworked into 4/4 time, resulting in a completely different atmosphere.

It’s a track you can simply get hyped to, but also one you can enjoy by comparing it with the original.

Nero – Promises

Nero is a producer from London, England.

While many of his tracks have a dramatic tone, he also has numerous stylish songs that make heavy use of traditional techno beats.

LonelyJoel Corry81rank/position

Joel Corry – Lonely [Official Video]

While it features firmly rising-and-falling breaks and popping drops within the track, its “modern” sound design avoids the flashy riser sounds of the 2010s.

With a breezy piano riff that feels great, it’s a new staple sound of the 2020s—a vocal house track that also connects to dance-pop.

Producer and DJ Joel Corry makes a proper appearance in the music video as a doctor! Looking across the EDM scene, it’s rare for the artist themselves to appear on camera and act, so that’s one of the highlights!

Le Shuuk – Sandmann (Official Video HD)

Whether it’s the melody or the beat, Le Shuuk’s track “Sandmann” captivates with its hard, intense sound.

Le Shuuk is a German DJ.

The distinctly German hard EDM sound feels great, but the finely crafted sound design also deserves attention.

The undulating shifts of the electro elements, the crackling, thrilling changes, and the expansive, spacey transitions keep it engaging from start to finish.

On the dance floor, its heavy sound and meticulous sound design are sure to stand out.

Hold On (feat. Michel Zitron)Martin Garrix & Matisse & Sadko84rank/position

Martin Garrix, Matisse & Sadko feat. Michel Zitron – Hold On (Official Video)

Martin Garrix’s hugely popular track “Hold On.” This is a song I’d especially recommend when you’re feeling down—after a heartbreak or a failure.

Above all, its lyrics are outstanding: an emotional, story-like track with vivid immediacy, layered with words that sing of the friendship that encouraged you even in tough times.

It’s a moving piece.
