Rager Onions Presents: The Top 10 EDM Songs of 2013

After compiling over 100 of the best songs from 2013, the staff at Rager Onions put their super-powers (our brains) together and narrowed it down to ten. Ten s0ngs that not only caught our ears, but blew our minds.

Without further adieu, the Top 10 EDM Songs of 2013. 

10. Protohype chilled out a little with this track, and the result was a masterpiece. With one of the most motivational songs of 2013, “Fly” is a tasty dubstep anthem for any music palette. Seriously, even your grandma might like it.

9. The dark horse, Andy Duguid, takes trance to a whole new level with “7Even”. Like all great songs, this one gets better with every listen. One might even call it ‘orgasmic’.

8. The French sensation has done it again. Madeon may not be old enough to drink alcohol in the U.S. yet, but he did produce one of the top-10 EDM songs of 2013. Kids these days.

7. Disclosure and Flume in the same sentence? You know it’s going to be nothing but gold.

6. Coming from one of this years top LP’s, Sub Focus also found his way onto the top-10 with this up-beat, D&B melody. Whether you’re having problems at work, problems with a girl, or problems doing laundry on a consistent basis – this song will surely put you on the right path. 

5. Dillon Francis did a lot in 2013. But nothing was more impressive than his first love song, “Without You”. According to Dillon’s Soundcloud, “This song is very meaningful to me because as TEED and I were working on the song I was having relationship problems of my own. He ended up writing the song about the whole situation i was going through..”

4. Just nasty. Trap isn’t dead yet, you guys. You heard it hear first: What So Not is the future of trap.

3. Audien exploded in 2013, and we’ll expect nothing less in 2014.

2. Our #1 EP of 2013 belonged to KOAN Sound & Asa’s Sanctuary. “Starlite” took the EDM world by storm, and for good reason.

1. The song that was at the top halfway through the year, stays at the top. Funky, passionate, and perfect for love making – this collaboration from two of EDM’s brightest minds will go down in the record books. Because “Easy” was the best EDM song of 2013.

Honorable Mentions:

The best remix of 2013 belongs to Kat Krazy.

We just can’t say enough about Sound Remedy. So we won’t.

This song got bumped from the top-10, but The M Machine deserves a lot of love for this “Tiny Anthem”.

You’re going to hear this song on the radio a lot over the next few months, but make no mistake about it – it was one of the best EDM songs produced this past year.

We’re all hippies at heart.

Rager Onions Presents: The Top 5 EP’s of 2013

The Top 5 EP’s of 2013:

5. Calling all music lovers (and heroes): Adventure Club has no entry fee, and the perks are endless. Amazing music and free cookies. What more could you ask for!

4. One year ago, Skrillex quietly released an EP that just could not be ignored even 12 months later. Leaving isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so get use to OWSLA’s finest to continue paving the path to stardom.

3. A collaborative EP for the ages, Blow The Roof stands as one of Flux Pavilion’s finest ensembles yet.

2. Who would have thought Metropolis Pt. I could be topped? The M Machine did. That’s who.

1. KOAN Sound & Asa crossed a new frontier in electronic music with their eclectic masterpiece, Sanctuary.

Honorable Mentions:

Beware of the Teddy Killerz.

Welcome to The Paragon, home of Paper Diamond.

You’ve never heard of Spektrem? Blasphemy! Enter The Spektrem and have a look and listen.

Musical Nostalgia: KOAN Sound & Asa – Sanctuary EP

If Jesus produced electronic music, we have a keen feeling that it would sound something like this.

Words cannot describe the transcending sense of euphoria experienced while listening to KOAN Sound and Asa‘s newest EP, Sanctuary. Taking a little over a year to complete, the five song EP has created quite a stir in the industry ever since the preview EP was released three weeks ago.

At 3:15 of “Starlite”, a man and woman have a brief, muffled conversation barely recognizable to the human ear. There’s a reason for the immediate goosebumps every time I hear their unembellished conversation. The fact of the matter is, simplicity touches the heart because it’s relatable; and that’s exactly what KOAN Sound did with this last album. They travelled courageously down the unpaved road straight into my soul, passing by all the insignificant trifles that muddle my existence. Isn’t that what all great musicians strive for?
