It’s that time of year, folks! Blogs and music publications around the world compile their lists of who they believe are ascending to new heights the following year. To some, these lists are very coveted and are a final hoorah to their hard-worked year.

We proudly present to you all, 40 electronic dance music acts and brands who are forecasted for downpour in 2023. 20 artists/musicians, and 20 brands/record labels and entities.

In 2020 – 2021, we compiled a list of “21 To Watch In 2021”, and our top picks from that year have made insane strides in their music careers!

Such names included BLAIZE, Mikes Revenge, LovelyBones, Sytrux, and many more – all of which have consistently knocked out goals, locked in major releases, growing their fanbase, played major music festivals/events, had their music played out by headliners to large crowds and ultimately created a massive impact with their music.

Whether they had multiple features on our blog, released a multitude of bangers, or simply sliced and diced it all year long, these folks deserve this end-of-year enthusiasm.

While several artists on the previous year’s list were applicable – they will not be considered for this edition to optimize illuminating new talent and tenure.

And, of course, we are going to make people mad with this list so just be happy for your peers and colleagues!

Without further ado, let’s see who made this year’s “Weather Watch: 40 EDM Acts/Brands Forecasting Downpour in 2023″ – we have plugged their locations, Spotify/SoundCloud profiles, social media contact information, and quotes as to what to expect in the coming year to better help you all get to know these rising names in today’s underground music market!
