Dance Rising is Spotify’s official launchpad for the next wave of dance music: the tracks bubbling under today that will headline festival stages tomorrow. Curated by Spotify’s dance editors as the little sibling of mint, it is where hype begins, spotlighting records on their way up rather than the ones that already peaked.

The selection moves fast and rewards curiosity, blending house, techno and bass-leaning club sounds from both fresh signings on major dance labels and self-released breakout artists. For A&Rs, DJs digging for tomorrow’s weapons, and listeners who like discovering songs before their friends do, this playlist is an essential weekly check.
