While the end of any year is spent reflecting on the previous 12 months, it's also a good time to look ahead. Many people get their resolutions in order, but we love to take a look at the producers who made waves and are set to really take over the next 12 months. We also love getting suggestions from outside sources, and who better to call on that Danny Howard, the Blackpool-based host of BBC Radio 1's Dance Anthems?!

The diversity of the tracks on this list just lend to how strong the Jersey club scene is at the moment. All of the tracks could each represent a sub-

During the summer of 2013, we highlighted some of the brightest electronic acts in South Africa, and Cape Town's own Das Kapital graced the list in st

The Best Bet category is for producers who we think will be primed to take 2015 by storm.

If there's one constant at DAD, it's that we love getting introduced to new sounds. Sometimes, all we need is a peg - in the case of Krome Angels, it'

Recently, we took the time out to highlight 50 dope producers who (at the time) were sitting under 5000 SoundCloud followers. We couldn't help it; if

We're in an interesting time when it comes to the trap/bass music scene right now. Back in 2012, not only was "trap" blowing up in the EDM scene, but

Across the globe, there are an unimaginable amount of wonderful people making magical music that will stand the the test of time. But the mainstream market is small and specific, and we're bored with it, quite honestly. There is a new wave of artists that are ready to elbow their way to the top, and the OG's that never quite figured out how important social media is (or how to maximize it) are still swinging.

A few weeks back we hit you with our Best Albums of 2013 list. While that list obviously takes into account all of our personal preferences, everythin

This week's Hidden Gems? Pretty cotdamn stacked if we do say so ourselves. This holiday season has us working overtime, but we're not that lost to where we can't give you that heat. This week features a wide variety of sounds, from artistic themes and a bunch of new school updates of old(er) tunes to some enticing originals. All styles and flavors. Grab your magnifying glass and check these out.
