What January says about EDM in 2026
Tech-house keeps growing, and it attracts both purists and festival crowds. Progressive house stays vital too. Armin van Buuren shows that even legends evolve by working with new talent. Meanwhile, future rave keeps its commercial momentum. As a result, “EDM” now covers so many subgenres that the label means less and less.
International producers stand out as well. Laherte from France, Apashe’s cultural blends and Miss Monique show how global the scene has become. Today, bedroom producers anywhere can make pro-quality tracks and reach listeners worldwide.
Ultimately, these releases will shape DJ sets at upcoming festivals like Tomorrowland Belgium, EDC events and clubs everywhere. If you want to know where dance music stands right now, start here.
