Coachella 2013 lineup officially announced with Nicky Romero, Hardwell, Wolfgang Gartner, Luciano, and more
The Coachella 2013 lineup has officially been announced, but sadly Daft Punk is not on the bill. As it turns out those leaks were just as we suspected - more rumors. Despite our disappointment, we are still blown away by this year's lineup. There's Bassnectar and Infected Mushroom, Nicky Romero and Wolfgang Gartner, Luciano, Seth Troxler, and Jamie XX and more - oh yeah, thats just Friday. Coachella's entire electronic music lineup is all killer no filler - even the groundbreaking duo out of Britain, Disclosure, is making an appearance.

The underground had a big year in the US in 2012 and we only felt it appropriate to highlight some of these amazing artists independently from potentially bigger or more commercial artists in the dance music world today. We considered the year these artists have had in terms of production, live sets, and overall influence. We also generally picked artists we love and admire; artists we feel are extremely important to pushing electronic music forward. This list of 25 names includes legends and young guns alike, but we can assure you that every single one of these artists is incredibly talented and is well worth a listen or a trip to a club for a live set. Picking up where we left off yesterday, we will continue the countdown with our picks from #5 through the #1 spots.
