The electronic dance music (EDM) publication has ranked track "New World" by DJ Hoaprox, Vietnam’s "Golden Boy" of EDM, as one of 20 biggest dance jams from Asia for its "tight beat, unmistakably built for the club.", VNExpress reported.
Another track in the list is "Ghost Father" by Dustee and Get Looze. The track has "blown away" the floor with its "heavy beat, dirty bass, and unnerving vocals," the magazine says.
Most recently, in another article of Mixmag Asia published Dec 15, Dustee, and DJ Nimbia had the chance for an exclusive introduction of their newest hit "Underngao."
It is positive about the future of Vietnam electronic music, "yet more fire from the Vietnam massive" proves that the country is "well and truly represented on the club map of the world", it adds.
