Top 5 EDM Artists That Will Break in 2016

Predicting who is next to blow up in the EDM scene is always a big topic of discussion when the New Year begins. After a lot of fans and people involved in the music scene disagreed with DJ Magazines top 100 artists from 2015, it is clear that this is a topic creates a lot of debate. Moving away from artists that are already well established, I have thrown together a list of artists in the EDM scene who are destined to blow up throughout 2016. Here are five artists that I guarantee if you haven’t heard their name already, you will be the end of the year.

1) NGHTMRE: Going from playing early set times on no name stages in 2015 to headlining major festivals coming up in 2016, NGHTMRE is a name you will hear constantly. One of the most innovative and talented rising producers from North Carolina is stacking up massive collaborations with big time artists.

2) Getter: If you don’t know who created the viral social media “Suh dude?” epidemic, here’s your man. This dude is signed to OWSLA, which makes it almost inevitable that he will blow up learning from the likes of king Skrillex.

3) RUFUS: This Australian trio recently just dropped his new album ‘Bloom’ which is just shy of incredible. Working with some of the best on Foreign Family Collective, don’t be surprised when these guys attract an Odesza level fan-base in 2016.

4) Illenium: Colorado producer Illenium has made some decent noise in the past year but after dropping his newest album ‘Ashes’, for free, he has turned a lot heads in the melodic bass game. There is no surprise that he is on almost every festival lineup for the 2016 season.

5) Marshmello: This unknown producer has been putting out music for about a year now but he has just recently gained a lot of popularity on his first tour. A major reason for his popularity has been the online debate on who is actually the face behind the music, with most of the evidence leading to Dotcom, but regardless 2016 will be a massive year for this producer.
