Be Cool (feat. Rue Melo)Bishu, Rue Melo
Right now, the most talked-about figure in the EDM scene is Bish.
He’s also active as a YouTube creator and even shares his music production process.
His track ‘Be Cool (feat.
Rue Melo)’ features vocalist Rue Melo.
Many of you might not be familiar with her—and that makes sense, since this song is her debut! Crafted by two next-generation artists, ‘Be Cool (feat.
Rue Melo)’ is, as the title suggests, a cool track.
If you’re looking for something stylish rather than intense, definitely give it a listen!
Ibiza SkyDJ Licious
Just seeing the title “Ibiza Sky” already puts you in the height of summer! “Ibiza Sky,” by Belgian DJ DJ Licious—who is also known for remixing Kairi Yagi’s 2022 track “Ripe Aster”—was released in May 2023.
It’s a track with an exhilarating beat, yet unlike typical high-energy EDM; its subtly wistful, beautiful melody stands out.
Even if you’ve never been there, you might find yourself thinking, “So this is what a summer evening in Ibiza feels like.”

Crew ThangDVBBS, Jeremih, SK8
Released in May 2023 on New York’s prestigious dance music label Ultra Music, “Crew Thang” is a summer anthem defined by a hybrid sound that brings modern R&B elements into EDM.
The track, dropped by Canada’s popular EDM duo DVBBS featuring R&B-leaning singer-songwriters Jeremih and SK8, delivers a refined production that, as noted, sets it apart from typical melodic EDM—perfect for igniting midsummer dance floors and doubling as stylish driving music.
If you’re into both dance music and R&B, be sure to give it a listen!
AliveKrewella
A progressive house track with lyrical lyrics.
It was released as a single in 2013 by the Chicago-based EDM band Krewella.
It became a hit around the world, reached No.
1 on the U.S.
charts, and was certified platinum.
AloneMarshmello
Do you know Marshmello, the artist who continues to lead American EDM? He’s a highly talented DJ, and part of his charm is the contrast created by the marshmallow-like helmet he wears.
His adorable persona went viral worldwide on YouTube with “Alone.” The track centers on the theme of loneliness, yet the music has a poppy, cute vibe.
Be sure to check out the slightly surreal music video, which features Marshmello going to school!
BRING BACK THE COLOR (feat. AURORA)San Holo
Having appeared on TV shows, the Norwegian singer AURORA—whose popularity is rapidly rising in Japan—has a clear, crystalline voice that cools down the sweltering summer.
The track “BRING BACK THE COLOR” was released in June 2023 by Dutch DJ and music producer San Holo, featuring AURORA as the guest vocalist, as mentioned above.
Unlike the uptempo electro beats that fire up the dance floor, this arrangement carries a certain delicacy that pairs beautifully with AURORA’s stunning vocals.
Fans of electropop and dream pop may find a lot to love here, too!
Feels This Good (ft. Stefflon Don)Sigala, Mae Muller, Caity Baser
If you’re a fan of melodic EDM or tropical house, you can’t go wrong with this one—and it’s a track I can recommend even to music lovers who don’t usually listen to dance music.
“Feels This Good” is a song dropped in March 2023 by a British DJ.
Featuring two British singers with contrasting styles, Mae Muller and Caity Baser, delivering powerful vocals, along with sharp, tight bars from Stefflon Don, it’s an extravagantly crafted track that feels destined to become a staple summer party anthem—a real killer tune.
Just like the lyrics say, savor that moment when it feels good with everything you’ve got!
