Our Favorite EDM Songs From May 2015

With the festival circuit now in full swing, May turned out to be a veritable mother lode of quality tracks from every shade of the dance music spectrum. This is the time of year at which every artist's management gives them the okay to finally drop whatever gems they've been sitting on to the public - and for good reason, as all it can take for a song to become a summer anthem is the right DJ playing it in front of the right crowd.

1) Gigamesh – The Music

Recommended Videos


Prolific pop music ghost producer Matthew Masurka – better known by his stage name Gigamesh – has garnered the attention of a global audience for the wide range of influences represented in his eclectic rhythms. With “The Music,” he starts with a simple, isolated piano roll before building up to a melodious progression as timeless as it is infectious.

In a phase during which dance music seems dead set on reinventing itself over and over again, stripped-down approaches like these speak louder than genre fads. In that sense, “The Music” is the perfect name for this track; without any of the production gimmicks driving electronic music into the ground, this track leaves its listener free to focus on exactly that.

2) Troyboi – Wonky

If you’re the kind of electronic music fan who refuses to listen to trap music at all costs, then we’ve got good news for you: Troyboi isn’t really trap music! He’s not really hip-hop either, though; he’s more or less what you get when you take the psychedelic sensibilities of UK dance music and apply them to a beatsmith of the bass music varieties.

“Wonky” showcases Troyboi’s otherworldly production chops in full effect. His surrealistic fusion of samples and synths is evident throughout, making the track a must-hear for anyone with a finger on the pulse of dance music.
