Through their workhorse mentalities and defiance of industry standards, these groundbreaking artists are on the cusp of changing the fabric of electronic music.

The official EDM.com Class of 2023 has been revealed.

The Class isn't an index of promising SoundCloud beatmakers or a trite "artists to watch" list. It's an annual list of 10 musicians with transformative skill sets who are on the cusp of changing the fabric of electronic music.

Through their workhorse mentalities and defiance of industry standards, these groundbreaking artists have already proven their volcanic potential in the electronic dance music scene—and now they're ready to erupt.

We're publishing a wide range of special content in partnership with the EDM.com Class of 2023 over the course of the year, such as music premieres, guest mixes, interviews and social media takeovers with behind-the-scenes footage, among other exclusives.

The members of the EDM.com Class of 2023 are A Hundred Drums, AMÉMÉ, BEAUZ, Blossom, Ekonovah, IMANU, Indira Paganotto, Knock2, MARAUDA and Westend. Meet them and take a listen to their music below.

A Hundred Drums

With huge releases on Zeds Dead's Deadbeats, Subtronics' Cyclops and more, A Hundred Drums is shaking up the bass music world with her visceral blend of experimental trap and deep dubstep.

AMÉMÉ

Thanks to his sultry, percussive Afro House sound, AMÉMÉ is redefining African electronic music—and taking it to places it's never been before.

BEAUZ

Spellbinding dance-pop is the name of the game for BEAUZ, a surging duo of brothers who are bulldozing the intersection of indie and electronic music.

Blossom

You won't be disappointed after entering Blossom's patented Pink Planet, a place where sweltering house rhythms and four-on-the-floor bangers reign supreme.

Ekonovah

On a crusade to "cultivate a new sound," Ekonovah has stomped through the house music scene with his hypnotic yet gritty tracks.

IMANU

Bold and transformative, IMANU is reinventing drum & bass as we know it, leading a legion of hungry, contrarian music producers into the genre's blindingly bright future.

Indira Paganotto

Thanks to her dark and visceral twist on techno, Indira Paganotto is holding the genre's torch and inspiring countless young women to produce electronic music.

Knock2

Knock2's bold approach to house and bass music production is symbolic of a disruptor with plans to nuke the status quo of EDM—and all we can do is hold on for dear life.

MARAUDA

Dubstep, tearout, trench, you name it—MARAUDA can do it all with his wholly singular sound, a ferocious and unapologetic style you can feel in your bones.

Westend

The red-hot tech house scene would look quite different without Westend, whose anthemic and carefree sound is embedded in the genre's lifeblood.
