EDM Anthems Turning 10 In 2025

Can you believe it’s been 10 years since some of these iconic tracks first dropped?

The year 2015 was a landmark moment in the evolution of electronic music.

It marked the beginning of a new era, one that blurred the lines between mainstream and underground, commercial and experimental.

A time when festival mainstages were dominated by melodic bangers, trap was exploding, and tropical house was taking over our playlists.

Now, in 2025, we look back at the EDM anthems turning 10 this year tracks that defined a generation, shaped genres, and continue to ignite crowds around the world.

Major Lazer & DJ Snake – “Lean On” (feat. MØ)

A global smash that blended dancehall, trap, and EDM into a radio-ready masterpiece. With over 1B YouTube views, it became a cultural moment and helped bring the sounds of global bass to the mainstream.

One of the most streamed tracks ever on Spotify. A true festival singalong even a decade later.

Calvin Harris & Disciples – “How Deep Is Your Love”

Calvin Harris pivoted from big-room bangers to a sleeker, deeper house vibe and the world followed. This track introduced a whole new wave of deep/future house into pop culture.

Still a staple in club sets. Helped bridge underground sounds with mainstream radio.

Kygo – “Stole the Show” (feat. Parson James)

Kygo’s tropical house explosion was in full swing, and “Stole the Show” became the anthem for beach parties and sunset sets.

This track cemented Kygo as a genre pioneer. A decade later, tropical house is still alive — and this track remains one of its finest moments.

DJ Snake – “Middle” (feat. Bipolar Sunshine)

After “Turn Down for What,” no one expected this melodic, emotional side from DJ Snake. But “Middle” proved he was more than just bass drops — he was a storyteller.

This track showed that EDM could evolve into something softer, more vulnerable, without losing its edge.

Valentino Khan – “Deep Down Low”

Why It Mattered: Bass house got its anthem. “Deep Down Low” wasn’t a chart hit — it was a club weapon. The kind of track DJs still rinse for those late-night warehouse vibes.

Legacy: One of the most iconic bass drops in EDM history. Instantly recognizable, forever heavy.

Jack Ü – “Where Are Ü Now” (with Justin Bieber)

Skrillex and Diplo’s collab with Bieber shocked everyone — and changed everything. This was the moment electronic producers started getting mainstream pop recognition as artists.

Pushed EDM-pop to new heights and gave Bieber a rebrand. Grammy-winning, genre-blending, and still fresh.

KSHMR – “Secrets” (with Tiësto feat. Vassy)

Big room was still alive and “Secrets” was one of its most melodic, well-produced anthems. The soaring drop and cinematic build set a standard for mainstage euphoria.

KSHMR’s coming-out party. Still one of his most beloved tracks 10 years later.

Galantis – “Peanut Butter Jelly”

Release Date: April 20, 2015
Why It Mattered: Galantis brought fun back to dance music. “Peanut Butter Jelly” was a disco-house-fueled joyride that stood out in a sea of dark drops.

Legacy: Remains a quirky, high-energy favorite in festival sets and throwback parties.
