Mixing R&B or Hip Hop with electronic music is a pretty obvious progression, but mixing in bluegrass and folk too is just now hitting the main airwaves. The front runner of this EDM shift is 23-year-old Swedish DJ/producer Avicii. He has made the Billboard's top 5 with his hit "Wake Me Up" and his album 'TRUE' will be released September 17.

Avicii went from playing shows as small as 20 people to being the first DJ to sell out Radio City Music Hall and being nominated for a Grammy. Talk about ambitious! I'm happy just dancing to his beats and I can't wait for the September 17 release of 'TRUE.'

If you're wanting to satisfy your live EDM fix, HUSHUSH 2013 is only a few weeks away!

2013 HUSHUSH Electronic Music Festival: Featuring Beats Antique, Gladkill, VibeSquad, Sugarpill, and DJ Chachi, Saturday October 5th at Kountz Arena. Tickets available online
