Kick 2020 to the Curb With Madeon’s New Year’s Eve DJ Mix
Just days after the release of his chills-inducing acoustic performance, Madeon is back with another mix. To help send one of the worst years of our collective lives packing, he released a New Year’s Eve 2021 DJ mix on Apple Music. With close to 50 songs packed into just over 60 minutes of music, fans of nearly every genre will be satisfied with the French electronic music star’s choices. While we won’t be able to enjoy NYE like years past, at least the music will still be as good as ever. Seeing as it’s a DJ mix and not one of his trademark live performances, the holiday offering is primarily filled with music from other artists. All is not lost for super-fans, though, as they will still be able to hear original works such as “The Prince,” “...

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. With no venues to perform at in 2020, it seemed at times as if artists simply blindfolded their eyes, threw a dart at a map, and travelled to places to perform—locations that are usually pipe dreams. However, due to the dogged fury of COVID-19 and the surge of streaming, these pie-in-the-sky destinations became the new norm for DJs who wanted to connect with fans in the absence of tours. To honor their creativity and seminal influences on the live music industry, we’ve recognized ten of the year’s best performances in dance music. RÜFÜS DU SOL Live from Joshua Tree Filmed in late 2019 and released in ...

Watch Lady Gaga’s Spine-Chilling Short Film for Madeon-Produced Single “911”
As the mythos of Chromatica continues to grow, Lady Gaga has unveiled an eye-popping short film for one of the chart-topping album’s standout singles, the Madeon-produced “911.” Directed by award-winning director Tarsem, the video is nothing short of a tour de force from the pop superstar, and an empathic reminder of her status as a triple threat actress, dancer, and singer.

Madeon Delivers Highly Anticipated Single “The Prince”
Last year, Madeon released a strong contender for the best dance music album of the year with his sophomore LP, Good Faith. He returned last month for a remix of “Fear No More” featuring hip-hop duo EARTHGANG and recently released a music video for his track “Miracle,” directed by Game Of Thrones star Lena Headey and starring Maisie Williams. After teasing the new single last week, he has now released “The Prince.” “The Prince” captures the essence of Good Faith, albeit with a more melancholy feel. It opens with a thick tom fill that then leads into a slow-burning bassline. As the cut approaches its halfway point, the finer details in the mix intensify. “The Prince” feels familiar and brand new all at once, emphasiz...
