If you're someone who gravitates to hypnotic basslines and vocals that hit you right in your core, KINGDM is an artist who needs to be on your radar. This Italian DJ and producer developed his love for music early on in his life and carries those influences with him to this day. First falling in love with the piano and classical artists like Chopin, he later developed a passion for rock music and inevitably, electronic as well. This pushed him to begin producing his own music and the result has been a number of stunning singles that bridge the gap between dance music and pop.

Since he began to release his own music, KINGDM has seen the likes of Zane Lowe and Annie Mac sing his praises and his tunes have graced some of the most influential radio stations as well. The past few years have seen him deliver collaborations like "Mexico" with Bipolar Sunshine, "FRFR" with Reo Cragun and Rowlan, as well as solo work such as "Dance for Me" and "Tear." More recently, he caught the ear of mau5trap who signed his vibe-inducing house tune "Together." Featuring a mesmerizing progressive bassline and vocals that are dripping with emotion, it's a solid jam to play during the earliest days of fall.

Looking to gain more insight on "Together," his roots in the scene, and future plans, we reached out to KINGDM for a chat. So read on to learn more about this dynamic artist, listen to his exclusive guest mix on SoundCloud, and make sure to download or stream "Together" on your preferred platform.

"Hard dance is everything to me, truly. It’s my friend circle, my daily driver, my strength. 4-to-the-floor kicks = infinite expression. The dedicated newcomers in the scene are going to completely change what hard dance represents in the states. In the near future, we’ll be hearing a lot more hardcore and uptempo from influential artists like Rollz Royce, Toumi, Schirmer, and AeroSway. When enough ears catch on to the sound - the sky’s the limit!" - @orotodj

HPNOTIC has been holding it down for the hardstyle scene in America. Over the year's she's played major events like Basscon Wasteland and Escape Psycho Circus and releasing tunes like "Move Your Body" with Kamikaze on Keeping The Rave Alive. America isn't the only place she's seen success as she's been all over the world bringing her hypnotizing sound to the biggest stages including Defqon. 1, Q-base, and Hard With Style.

My love and passion for hard dance music has pushed me to achieve unimaginable things such as moving to Amsterdam and Los Angeles, as well as connecting with thousands of people all around the world. I can’t imagine myself existing without it. With hard dance music, I feel like I can be myself, free from external pressure. I’ve been dedicated to my HPNOTIC project for over a decade now."

Since his first release in 2018, FADEAD has held it down for the hard dance scene in the Bay Area and beyond. While he specializes in powerful euphoric records like "Need You Here" and "Without Me," he can also throw down some heat in different styles. Over the past few years, he's had two dubstep/hardstyle hybrid collaborations with Stryer, showing his versatility and ability to adapt no matter the situation.

FADEAD kicked off 2022 in a big way as he was a part of the launch for NRG Records with "Into The Fire," which saw him utilizing the hard psy sound and creating a fine line between euphoric hardstyle and rawstyle. When asked about the hard dance scene in America, he felt that there's going to be a major breakthrough soon. "With the more exposure the EDM community gets from [hard dance], the more of a chance it has of becoming a bigger market compared to how it is at the moment," he said. "Deep down… everyone comes around sooner or later, and I am honored to be a part of its upbringing in America."

Looking to keep the momentum going, he stopped by to spin up a guest mix on our hard dance mix series, Paradigm Shift. Without spoiling too much, this mix includes four unreleased tunes, where three of them belong to FADEAD, along with a multitude of the latest and greatest hard dance tunes from Europe. The Bay Area producer also shows love to plenty of homegrown artists, so fans will hear tunes from KAMI, Quarkee, and TYEGUYS throughout its runtime.

FADEAD has earned himself a spot as one of the producers that are contributing to the recent growth of hard dance music and you're not going to want to miss him on his way to the top. With that being said, turn the volume up to 11 and crank on his latest mix to get a taste of one of the brightest young talents in the American Hard Dance scene.

"Hard dance is everything to me. I remember getting exposed to it when I was 13. I had never heard something so powerful, with so much emotion behind the melodies, and the aggression behind the kicks. It’s all emotions in one project or track. It’s not for many, but I know it means something special to all of us that do listen to hard dance. It’s a lifestyle!  As for me, I’m really looking forward to releasing the music I’ve been holding on to! I hope that I get to play more shows for you guys as well. It’s amazing seeing people hit every kickroll to my tracks!" - Distortion Code

I hope to explore the world with USTEMPO and my friends Oroto, Rollz Royce, EQUAL2, Kimmercore, Aerosway, Chrizens and more! Shout out to these peeps for helping me along the way.

Over the past year, a unique crossroads has surfaced between the fitness and hard dance communities. Thanks to social media platforms like TikTok, the harder styles have found their way into countless viral fitness videos, and it's unlike anything the scene has seen before. While there's no official genre name for this type of hard dance that has captivated the fitness community, it's been dubbed "Fuarkstyle" as an homage to community member Zyzz, and Dionysus is helping lead the charge.

Of all the new producers making this new genre, Dionysus has undoubtedly been a standout. Multiple originals and bootlegs of his have reached millions of streams on SoundCloud and Spotify, even though he just started out last year. There's no doubt he's creating something unique, and now with a brand-new team, expect to see his name start dotting hard dance lineups in the US and beyond.

Looking to get more insight into this rapid-growing community and subgenre, we caught up with Dionysus to discuss his backstory, the rapid success his producing career has seen, and the project's future. In addition, he spun up a special guest mix for us that includes fan-favorite tracks like "CLEN" with Yosuf that perfectly encapsulates the personality of Dionysus. So turn the volume up on his brand-new guest mix and click the link to read our whole conversation with him!

With a bit of every music genre imaginable as his muse, crawdad sniper first brought his talents to the bass music scene in 2021. He has since gained well-deserved recognition and love that have only since snowballed in 2023. Based in Washington, D.C., crawdad sniper is not one to take genre boundaries (or anything in life) too seriously. His music nods to countless styles, from classic rock to indie psychedelic sounds. Fans can't help but appreciate the original and funny branding that goes along with weirdly wonderful sounds, which are exactly what you'll hear in his sound-design-focused and bass-filled discography.

This year has been full of wins for crawdad sniper, who has released two EPs with plenty of singles and SoundCloud bootlegs in between. Among them is his popular take on "Butthole Surfers" by Pepper, which takes the trophy of his most-listened track on SoundCloud. He's gotten to show off his groove-heavy flair on some crispy sound systems recently, from Sound Haven's mainstage to Elements Festival's Wub Hub stage. With upcoming performances at Submersion Festival and Autumn Revival still ahead of him, 2023 undoubtedly marks a breakout year as he hooks more fans at every stop.

Not only did crawdad sniper make us an incredible guest mix, but we also got the chance to ask him about his inspirations, his journey to becoming "crawdad sniper,' and plenty more in our interview!

"I’m creating the future. It’s crazy to think about, but it’s why I love innovating and making crazy kicks. Even if I ever stopped producing music, I feel many artists would still feel this way and keep working more outside of the box than we ever have before! I think American Hard Dance is going to be one hell of a ride." - @equal_2

Some magic in the dance music scene happened when NITTI and Party Favor put their minds together to form SIDEPIECE. Since first joining forces, the duo has not only dropped Grammy-nominated tunes for the masses to groove out to, but they've continued to deliver some of the most fun-loving sets that house music lovers can shuffle away to all day and night.

While much of 2024 has been quiet so far, SIDEPIECE kicked themselves into full gear on the release front by dropping a fresh tune with another hot house artist, San Pacho. "Taka" is out now across all platforms and will inject plenty of energy into your veins with its chopped vocals, organic drums, horns, and overall infectious groove. This pairing is a match made in house music heaven, and you'll find yourself vibing to the track from the moment you press play.

SIDEPIECE's performances have been memorable, and they're adding Shabang Festival to the mix this year. This festival, which will take place in San Luis Obispo on May 3-4, features the duo along with other standout artists like Noizu, Walker & Royce, and more.

As the fall months kick into gear, Alfred Heinrichs dropped off a mix that encapsulates the season's vibes. "Let the rhythm guide you through the heat, where every beat becomes a memory and every moment, a melody," he said about the techno-fueled mix.

"The whole culture around drum and bass is so special within the dance music scene, and I have felt very lucky to be a part of it for so long. There is a certain magic when people come together through music, and this scene has grown so much, which has shown how strong this sound is. I’ve been able to travel the world and share my sound with the DnB masses, and that's something very special." - Junk Mail

"Hey guys, Torcha reporting in to announce my return to Jaceland for Sacred Hive’s legendary Sound Haven fest. Last year, I had Rakjay with me, we came home and wrote our song ‘Element 5s’ with Skxllflower immediately. As always, I'm bringing my big (usb) bag of dubplates from me and my friends every year. I love to showcase new music at Sound Haven. Hopefully, this little taste tester gives you something to dance to before we’re all together at Jaceland again soon!" - Torcha

EDMID Presents: Torcha's Road To Sound Haven 2025 Mix

"This mix is a celebration of the sounds that keep the dance floor moving, from disco to funky house, disco house to French touch. It’s packed with tracks I’ve been playing out recently, the ones that never fail to bring the bounce back. You’ll hear plenty of groove, soul, and vintage sparkle throughout. And of course, I had to throw in my latest single ‘BOUNCE’, a funk-soaked cut straight from the Big Disco Energy universe." - Never Dull

"France has a strong history with electronic music. The French Touch influenced me a lot, especially the way it mixes groove, mystery and emotion. Today the scene feels very diverse even if I don’t go out often, I still feel that French identity in the sound. This mix is one with a few surprises. I played some unreleased tracks I’m really proud of. It reflects my influences, from melodic and afro house to more cinematic textures, always with that tension I love in music." - RE/MIND

"Creating this mix felt like an extension into our minds from our EP Double Trouble. Taking you on a full journey from full throttle energy and 808s to slowing down with some smooth synths and some of our fav samples. Like our EP title track sampling a K Camp track, we wanted this mix to bring energy and inspo from the artist we loved when we first started DJing to now." - RaeCola

"Whenever I’m asked to create a DJ mix, I see it as an opportunity to tell a story, to weave together the sounds and styles that have influenced me along the way. My mixes often drift across genres and emotions, guided by instinct and season. As Chicago slips into fall, I chose a few of my own pieces and some timeless records that mirror this in-between feeling, that golden, reflective moment of the year. In loving memory of Ron Carroll." - Andrew Emil

"I first discovered hard dance music while working out at the gym. Rap wasn’t giving me the same energy anymore, so I started searching for something more intense to push me during workouts, that’s when I found hard dance. The energy and drive of the genre instantly hooked me, and it’s been a big part of my life ever since." - DRO

Pittsburgh-based dubstep producer Lavier is an artist of a multitude of mediums. With art and music being such a huge part of his life from a young age, it's only natural that he'd pursue an artistic career as an adult. Having a decade of producing under his belt, he's been steadily grinding in his local scene and beyond, but it's clear that he's hit a real stride in 2025.

"I was definitely categorized as an electro-soul producer when I was young, but my sound has evolved and become much heavier and bigger, so I don’t think that label fits as much anymore. All of the greats I have looked up to over the years have pushed boundaries and defied the limits of traditional genres, so I decided to do what felt right, almost using that as a challenge. If you stick to your guns and own it, I think people will catch on and, hopefully, be inspired by that mentality." - Maddy O'Neal

If you're searching for an artist who will sweep you off your feet and carry you into a soundscape of their own creation then melodic house artist Rylan Taggart is someone you should definitely tune into. Based out of Vancouver, he's released plenty of tunes that continually put listeners in a bliss-like state while also gaining the support from major artists in the scene like Above & Beyond and Lane 8.

Riding the impressive offering of tracks with Jerro, "Signal" and "Memories Never Die", along with solo tune "Peggy" on This Never Happened that closed 2018 out perfectly, he has shown no signs of slowing this year. Continuing to build on his body of work, he whisked us away to a far off desert with the release of "Petra" on Elliptical Sun and double-downed with a Spring Mix that we've had on repeat for weeks.

Few people embrace life quite like Ravenscoon. The San Francisco-based producer draws on all of his experiences, good and bad, to create his signature "beautiful chaos" sound that has bass music fans on notice in 2020. Despite the unprecedented change in the music industry over the past few months, he has enjoyed considerable success.

This year has seen the release of "Dirty South," a wild bass-driven collaboration with Viskus, back in February and played multiple shows before the flurry of cancellations due to COVID-19. Aside from his music-making prowess, many have come to appreciate Ravenscoon's openness on social media. He's not afraid to speak his mind, becoming a beacon of authenticity in a largely superficial digital world.

So when the opportunity to chat with Ravenscoon presented itself, we couldn't help but jump on the opportunity. Additionally, his guest mix is a perfect example of "beautiful chaos" as he explores different tempos, rhythms, and sound design in an hour of mind-bending, genre-defying music. Anyone who appreciates bass should listen to this mix, it truly has something for everyone!

Born in Canada but now based out of Germany, he's been gaining some serious support over the past few years with releases on labels like Drumcode and Octopus Recordings.

This year has already seen Weska embark on a new journey as well with his self-released Waves series picking up momentum with his recent third edition. But that wasn't enough to satiate his cravings for releasing absolute tunes as today, he's gifted us all with a free download of his "Don't Think" edit.

Originally crafted by renowned The Chemical Brothers, Weska reworked the tune so that it would fit seamlessly in his own sets. The result? Pure techno goodness. His spin has been perfect to listen to in nearly any setting whether it be your own living room or a massive stage at Creamfields where Adam Beyer and Cirez D played it out for a crowd of thousands.

A relative newcomer who has only been active in the scene since 2017, OCULA was off to an auspicious start with the help of deadmau5 and early releases on mau5trap. Since then his music has graced several notable imprints as he began to turn heads with his stunning soundscapes including Colorize and This Never Happened, as well as both Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep.

In 2020, OCULA took the year by the horns and truly made the most of what has been a challenging journey. He has released more music this year than his previous three combined - and by a notable margin at that. OCULA's originals included two singles and the Summit EP, while he also collaborated with other artists such as Jerro and Le Youth while remixing the likes of Lane 8 as well.

While he hasn't maintained his own presence on Twitch like some other DJs, his music has been featured on many others throughout the year. OCULA even curated a playlist to help us "Remember" during the earliest days of the pandemic to keep our minds centered. He's been a busy artist, and we are thankful for all that OCULA has given us this year while also super excited about what is still ahead for this rising star in 2021.

As the final days of 2020 wind down, we're proud to have OCULA as the final Artist Spotlight of the year. He brings us an emotional guest mix and some terrific insight into his background, so check it out below!
