EDM.com’s Best of 2020: Music Producers
This year, the team at EDM.com is proud to publish four installments of “Best of 2020” coverage: Industry Leaders, Performances, Music Producers, and Songs. DJing and music production are different. But the difference between the two is like a wallflower—it hides in plain sight, and it is vastly misunderstood. Many artists do both, but not all DJs produce music and not all music producers DJ. Producers create the music that a DJ will then play out to crowds—it’s an important distinction that eludes many. Like a sleek Lamborghini driving from one coast to another, the art of DJing is a stylish means to an end. And music production is the engine that powers it. To publish a “Top DJ” list would be to undermine the originality, ingenuity, and dauntless imagin...

Watch Duck Sauce’s Quirky CGI “Mesmerize” Music Video
There’s quite a lot to unpack in Duck Sauce‘s “cameo filled” music video for the group’s newly released single, “Mesmerize.” The “Barbara Streisand” producers have made 2020 their comeback year, releasing what is now their fifth single of the year. Previously, the group had not released music since 2014. The new song is an alluring effort that ensnares with a memorable hook and uplifting disco rhythms. The real story, however, is the song’s music video, which we can only begin to scratch the surface of here.
