4. MARSHMELLO
For fans of: Diplo, What So Not, JAUZ
Why you should care: After being catapulted into the public eye with his remix of Jack Ü’s “Where Are Ü Now,” the mysterious producer Marshmello has received highly appraised support from the likes Skrillex, Diplo, Jauz and a tons of other producers, and has emerged as one of the year’s most most talked about mystery producers. Fans’ hypotheses of the anthropomorphic treat’s identity range from trap producer Dotcom to Skrillex himself. But, as is the case with UZ and Malaa, Marshmello’s identity doesn’t really matter. What is important is that in the nine months since his first release, he has amassed a titanic following, earned spots in nearly every major festival’s lineup, and composed an extensive catalogue of future-infused pop remixes and originals that are as pleasingly saccharine as the campfire candy for which he is named.
