EDM.com wishes a Happy Father’s Day not only to all the dads out there, but also the moms who took on both roles for their kids. To celebrate Father’s Day this year, we connected with some of the biggest artists in dance music, who shared their fondest memories of their father or their children. Break out the tissues because there are some tearjerkers. NGHTMRE “A few years back it somehow worked out that I was playing Sunday of EDC and it was Father’s Day!

Getting in gear for the summer, DJs and producers across electronic music’s subgenres pumped out both fun, radio-friendly dance pop singles and chill, laid-back collaborations last month. Most notably, deadmau5 teamed up with The Neptunes for his first release of 2020, “Pomegranate,” exploring a nu-disco sound.

She went on to say they thought everyone “could use the vibes right now.” This same sentiment can be found in Martin Garrix‘s latest progressive house co...
If there’s anyone who can transform classic war film “Casablanca” into a feel-good, dance-infused pop anthem, it’s Two Friends. Their latest release, “Looking At You” featuring Sam Vesso, infuses the track’s reference to the movie’s iconic line, “Here’s looking at you, kid,” into a tropical house tune with pop-inspired drums and synths for a high-energy EDM anthem. Animated, anthemic lyrics from Vesso are the cherry on top of this single, upgrading the track’s drop to something festival crowds will eventually sing along too. The release of “Looking At You” solidifies Two Friends’ dominance as one of the premier dance music acts combining pop and future bass. Since officially signing to Ste...
