Tropical House has grown into a popular genre that few industry experts or artists could have predicted. Kygo, Thomas Jack and Matoma have clearly paved the way for the chill-vibe sub-genre of EDM, but there are plenty of new artists carrying their own weight. Here are 10 Tropical House producers that you need to become familiar with:
1. Boehm
2015 could be Boehm's year. In just the first two months of the year, Boehm racked up over 2 million plays on his SoundCloud channel and has done official remixes for artists including Nervo, Steve Aoki, Omi and Yellow Claw. Keep a close eye on Boehm this year as he prepares to release his first original tune after countless successful remixes!
2. Lost Frequencies
The Belgian DJ and music producer blew up after releasing his original "Are You With Me" that raised over 6 million plays on SoundCloud! The talented young artist just released a new original featuring Janieck Devy titled "Reality" that is bound to have similar success! Be sure to give his brand new tune a listen below!
3. Matthew Heyer
Matthew Heyer, producer from Toulouse, France, just broke onto the Tropical House scene, but we're betting he's here to stay. Popular remixes to Coldplays "Fix You" and Sia's "Chandelier" gave Heyer the recognition he deserves. This past month he just remixed Novo Amor's track "Weather", which can be heard on his SoundCloud page!
4. Autograf
The EDM duo out of Chicago has been known for releasing killer remixes including their hit remix to Lorde's "Team". But two months ago, Autograf created their first original track "Dream" increasing expectations and raising the bar in the Tropical House scene. We look forward to hearing more creative original material from the rising Chicago duo in the near future!
5. Ryan Lofty
With just two songs uploaded to SoundCloud, Ryan Lofty is no doubt a newcomer to the Tropical House scene, but the quality of his original tracks makes us wonder what he has in store next. He released a brand new original "The Mountain" featuring Bonx only three days ago, but the track is starting to gain some recognition and can be downloaded for free on SoundCloud!
6. filous
Many of you have most likely heard of filous, as the majority of his remixes are gaining over a million plays on SoundCloud. But we felt his place on the list was noteworthy after he finally released his much anticipated first original just five days ago! The new track "How Hard I Try" features singer-songwriter James Hersey and can be played below!
7. Deep Chills
The 18 year old Italian producer continues to display his talent through various remixes, his most popular, a catchy remix to Bastille's "Flaws". His most recent remix was a throwback to The Police's "Every Breath You Take", released just a month ago. We believe the Tropical Deep House feel that Deep Chills sends out will have listeners asking for more. Stay tuned for his upcoming remix!
8. Dusta
Few readers have probably heard of Dusta, but his remixes are outstanding. The young DJ out of London released a catchy remix to Goldroom's "Embrace" and followed it up with feel-good remix to Matisyahu's hit "Live Like A Warrior"! Definitely don't sleep on Dusta, big things are in store for this young, talented producer.
9. LEEX
It's hard to believe that it has already been eight months since LEEX released an incredible remix to Mattafix's "Big City Life". The track has hit well over two million plays and since then, LEEX has produced some unique remixes to artists including Lana Del Rey, Black Eyed Peas, and Lions Head! His "Big City Life" Remix is a track you have to hear below!
10. Alex Schulz
Alex Schulz is a German producer who has uploaded a handful of amazing melodic house originals to SoundCloud. His hit single below, "Don't Worry", creates about as chill of a vibe as a DJ can make. The track set the tone for the rest of Schulz's tracks and three months ago he released a new original "Ways", which already boasts over 1.5 million plays!
