Awesome music by artists before they got big

A lot of today’s huge commercial artists have some great tunes that they made from before they blew up. I thought it would be cool to create a thread to share some of these! I’ll start:

Calvin Harris:

2

i LOVE this:

3

Wow that was brilliant.

Here is another one of my favourites:

4

Whoa, that was unexpected by diplo..

About deadmau5, i love the earlier stuff, when he still was halcyon441. This is a 1999 release, better than the rework he released a year ago IMO..

5

Nice one! Btw if you liked that diplo track he has an album called florida which is full of that kind of stuff

6

Just WOW…!!! I have loved this track for a long long time.
Electric Chair was my church for over a decade. The single best club in the world in my opinion and the compilation albums that the Unabombers released are amazing volumes. This track appeared on the ‘Electric Souls 2’ album as well as a single.

AXWELL:

8

Monster track and it was left to rot in a studio.

@karlos, thats awesome dude!

@slayformoney, old axwell was sooooooooooo good. soooooo good. I wish he would still make tracks like that once in a while

@sambo, woah thats heavy!

heres some old sander van doorn:

I consider his participation in “Be” (2008) his breakthrough, but before that he made this awesome track. It sucks to see him become a total sellout in recent years.

11

This is also quite awesome for 1999 :slight_smile:

12

@hermes, good find! I just went through a bit of a moby phase so I definitely enjoyed that :stuck_out_tongue:

@polygon, man tiesto’s sound has changed so much its insane. Would love to see him make some more trance

13

Hasn’t it?.. It’s honestly like he isn’t even trying right now.. Like trying to replicate levels all over..

14

Those lyrics are cringe worthy. With that being said I guess he’s just doing what he’s gotta do to make that $$$

15

I mean just run dem red lites bro u kno wat i mean man bro? EDM bro

16

I wonder how many car accidents this song is going to cause :stuck_out_tongue:

17

And there goes the thread :stuck_out_tongue:

18

Hahahahahahaha

edit:

Lets get back on track, some old laidback luke!!

I actually like this old Afrojack tune. Has a minimal tech vibe about it.

This one will blow your mind:

The he figured out how fucking stupid he was and released this:

Which I think is begging for a 2013 deep house reboot to be honest.
