2012 mtvU WOODIE AWARDS
Nominees
EDM Effect Woodie
We’re putting the spotlight on the hottest EDM artists who are fusing genres, breaking ground and bringing electronic dance music to a new fan-base.
-
Sampling Swedish DJ and producer Avicii's "Levels" might have been a left-field choice for rapper Flo Rida, but sometimes those are the best decisions. "Good Feeling" became Flo's sixth top 10 and fourth top five single.
-
Italian DJ Benny Banassi took Chris Brown's club appeal and turned it up to 11. Europop and dancehall flavors are center stage on "Beautiful People," while Brown's smooth vocals serve as a perfect accompaniment.
-
Calvin Harris for "We Found Love" (Rihanna feat Calvin Harris)
In one of 2011's biggest songs, Calvin Harris helped make EDM a certified movement on his collaboration with Rihanna, "We Found Love." Even though it was released at the end of the year, "We Found Love" was still the longest-charting number No. 1 single of 2011.
-
Flux Pavilion for "Who Gon Stop Me" (Watch the Throne - Jay-Z & Kanye West)
English DJ Flux Pavilion's "I Can't Stop" helped make "Who Gon Stop Me" one of The Throne's most stand-out tracks. And considering it was alongside the likes of "Paris" and "Otis," that's quite a feat.
-
After his 2010 mega hit "Hello," French DJ Martin Solveig took a ride on the dubstep wave with Kele on "Ready To Go." The 11-minute music video featuring 80,000 futbal fans might have helped with the song's popularity, too.
-
Steve Aoki & Laidback Luke for "Turbulence" (Steve Aoki & Laidback Luke f/ Lil Jon)
Lil Jon turned his crunk meter all the way to 11 on "Turbulence" thanks to DJs Steve Aoki and Laidback Luke. Warning: mega deep club beats ahead.
