The 10 Best EDM Songs Of 2016

Despite the persistent rumors of EDM's imminent decline, dance music enjoyed a successful year in 2016, both from a critical and commercial point of view. The melding of pop and EDM that we saw alchemizing in 2015 fully solidified throughout the year, as evidenced by massive crossover hits like The Chainsmokers' "Closer" and Major Lazer's "Cold Water" with Justin Bieber.

10) “Purple Lamborghini” – Skrillex featuring Rick Ross

Recommended Videos

Suicide Squad soundtrack. Featuring a music video that involved the two musicians palling around with Jared Leto’s Joker, “Purple Lamborghini” is the kind of guilty pleasure banger you can blast on repeat.

The track serves as another of one of Skrillex’s forays into the world of hip hop, while still delivering plenty of those “old Skrillex” vibes to satisfy on a physical level. Rick Ross dishes up some fittingly aggressive rhymes over booming 808 subs and ominous horn melodies, before squelchy bass riffs grind against massive trap rhythms in the drops. It’s not exactly a groundbreaking effort, but Skrillex loads “Purple Lamborghini” with enough firepower to make your subwoofers bark, making the song a success on a visceral level.

9) “Alone” – Marshmello

Following up on his successful debut in 2015, Marshmello had another massive year in 2016 due in no small part to his smash summer hit “Alone.” Currently the song has over 200 million plays on YouTube, a fact that’s indicative of just how huge the mellogang has become, which is basically the point that the music video for “Alone” drives home.

“Alone” represents the culmination of Marshmello’s particular brand of gooey future trap, complete with deep bass tones and playful vocal chops set against kinetic rhythms. Some short but sweet pitch shifted vocal samples appear throughout the song to instil its message of loneliness, while the anonymous DJ crafts a sublime barrage of uplifting melodies and punchy drum hits.
