Pete Tong's 5 EDC Artists to Watch

Stream tracks from all five "essential" DJ selections
THUMP Staff

In the fable of electronic music: On the first day, God created turntables. On the second day, the sample. And on the third day, God created Pete Tong. The man needs no introduction, and his picks for artists to watch at EDC should be taken as gospel. Check 'em out:

Alesso


"The Swede protege has a new album bristling with refreshing big room tunes which I expect will be all over radio elevating Alesso to top level."

Damian Lazarus


"Underrated in many ways, the cloaked crusader has a brilliant album on the way featuring the mesmerizing chanting former essential new tune "Lovers Eyes". I played at his Get Lost arena EDC 2013 and it was one of my gigs of the year!"

Oliver Heldens


"Hot young up and coming artist and DJ who has blown people away with his first few tunes and remixes including Gecko. He has big room tunes but they are not your standard EDM fare .... Much more house / tech house influence and it makes him stand out. Very impressed when he played AllGone Miami pool party. Originally from Spinning camp now in FFRR"

MK

"This man has ruled the last year with continuous piano house anthems courtesy of his prolific remix work . Tracks like My Head Is A Jungle and Always are now ready for the biggest of stages. Set to have a big impact at this years EDC and he joins my All Gone To Sea cruise in November."
