Martin Garrix became the youngest producer ever to top the Billboard Hot 100 when 'Animals' hit in 2013, when he was 17. The Dutch DJ built his sound around infectious, buildable melodies and had that rare knack for making club tracks that also worked on mainstream radio. After 'Animals,' he kept the momentum with 'Scared to Be Lonely' and 'There For You,' collaborating with artists like Dua Lipa and Troye Sivan while maintaining his reputation as someone who actually knows how to structure a dance track. His sets tend to lean progressive—slower builds, layered production, less about banger-after-banger and more about patience with the crowd.

Garrix's shows are methodical rather than frantic. He reads the room carefully, building tension over long stretches. The crowd tends to be patient with him in a way they aren't with everyone—they know something's coming and they wait for it. His production values are slick, his transitions clean.

Known for Animals, Scared to Be Lonely, There For You, Citadel, Forbidden Voices

Minneapolis has a complicated relationship with EDM. The city's electronic music DNA runs deep through Prince's Paisley Park legacy and the midwest rave scene of the '90s, but the current landscape skews more toward indie rock and hip-hop. That said, venues like The Armory and Skyway still draw serious dance music talent, and there's always an audience hungry for big-budget production and drop-heavy hooks.

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
