Top 10 EDM Artists to Watch in 2025

Forget the resolutions and turn up the volume—2025 is all about discovering the next wave of electronic music stars. Get ready to watch these rising talents take the scene by storm.

1. Disco Lines

This Colorado-native is a force to be reckoned with. From playing Ultra Miami main stage to securing a spot on the 2025 Coachella lineup, Disco Lines has had quite the year. And- he’s only going up. He’s known for his infectious house melodies infused with some future bass and disco-tinged pop. The 25-year old even launched his own independent record label last year- Good Good Records.

2. Jay Eskar

Jay Eskar’s talent doesn’t go unnoticed. I’ve personally had the pleasure of watching him and his sound grow and transform over the years- and I think he’s about to strike gold. His future house music takes his listeners through an emotional journey, where he strives to help them connect with themselves deeper to unleash music’s limitless potential. While no upcoming tour dates have been set for this Mexican-native, we will hopefully be seeing him back in the spotlight real soon.

3. MISS DRE

Sugar, spice, and some naughty and nice- that’s MISS DRE. She is house and techno’s unstoppable triple threat—DJ, producer, and vocalist. Hailing from the Bay Area, her sound is defined by gritty downbeats, hypnotic motifs, and an electrifying stage presence. Over the past several years, she’s been handpicked to support Green Velvet, John Summit, and Mau P– to name a few. MISS DRE’s career is just getting started, with a bright future ahead and a lot to promise as we head into the new year.

4. YDG

In a short time, this South Korean artist has emerged as a standout name in the underground bass scene. His signature style- a combination of dubstep and experimental bass- has received nods from industry icons like Excision, Sullivan King, and DJ Diesel. YDG has even released tracks with Gryffin, Yellow Claw, Riot Ten, ARMNHMR, and more. From humble beginnings to making his mark on the main stage, YDG is a name you’ll want to follow.

5. Bleu Clair

Bleu Clair has a truly unique sound like no other- in my opinion. He’s an Indonesian DJ and producer who debuted on MonsterCat with his song ‘Hit List’ back in 2020. Over the past few years, Bleu Clair has redefined dance floors around the world with his blend of tech and bass house, which radiates a dynamic energy and delivers a future-foward house music sound. He has also collaborated with some of the industry’s leading artists, like his song ‘Make You Mine’ with Martin Garrix‘s tech house alias, Ytram. If you haven’t listened to Bleu Clair yet- 2025 is the time to do it.

6. Jackie Hollander

This young DJ almost gave up her music career entirely a few years ago- San Francisco-based artist Jackie Hollander remarked in a recent interview with DJ Mag. And we’re so glad she didn’t. Since then, Hollander has released melodic house and techno tracks that have landed on labels like Nervous Records, REALM and There Is A Light. She has made waves at nightclubs across southern California- and will soon be making even more around the world. The future is bright for Jackie Hollander and we’re excited to watch her make it happen.

7. Parisi

PARISI is a Grammy Award-winning Italian music duo formed by multi-instrumentalist brothers Marco Parisi & Giampaolo “Jack” Parisi. You may have heard of them from their working relationship with Fred Again that resulted in co-production credits on his album ‘Actual Life 2’, as well as Ed Sheeran’s ‘Afterglow’. They’ve also co-produced and written for artists like Will.i.am and the Black Eyed Peas. Needless to say, PARISI is destined for greatness in 2025 and beyond, so be sure to keep an eye on them.

8. Riordan

Think minimal deep tech house meets garage meets afro-house- that’s Riordan. This UK DJ and producer first burst into the dance music scene with his viral TikTok mixes, and has been on the rise ever since. He’s even become one of my personal favorites, with his tracks ‘Paco’ and ‘La Samba’ with Wax Motif on repeat. Riordan recently finished his North America tour late last year, with more shows on the way. Stay tuned to see what this talented artist is up to next.

9. MARTA

She’s on the rise and she’s moving fast- she is MARTA. The Toronto-native stole the spotlight in 2024 with her unique blend of house music and techno. MARTA opened for EDM all-stars like Dom Dolla, Mau P, and Odd Mob, sold out to headline shows in Canada and the UK, and appeared on four different main stages in just one year. Fasten your seat belts and prepare for a major MARTA breakthrough in 2025.

10. Rivo

We can’t have a Top 10 EDM Artists to Watch in 2025 post without mentioning Rivo. This French DJ and producer blew up on TikTok in 2023 for his unofficial remix of Disclosure‘s ‘You & Me’, which earned him a co-sign from Disclosure himself. Since then, Rivo has been taking the electronic music world by storm. He spent 2024 touring around the world, and is destined to grace some festival main stages heading into 2025.
