Twin-brother duo MC4D has shaken up the dance music scene with their highly-anticipated debut EP, ‘Wanderings’.
Combining elements of folk, country, and electronic dance music, their unique ‘folktronica’ genre is as refreshing as it is infectious.
Released in late 2024, the seven-track EP has already amassed millions of streams, signaling the rise of a fresh sound in a saturated EDM landscape.
Crafting a New Genre: Folktronica
While much of the dance music world revolves around house and bass subgenres, MC4D takes inspiration from Americana country and folk artists like Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan. Tracks like ‘Travel On’ and ‘Wyoming’ exemplify their approach, blending raw, heartfelt storytelling with euphoric electronic production. Fans of Avicii’s folk-house sound will find echoes of his influence, while country and folk enthusiasts will appreciate the authentic instrumentation and melodies.
The EP’s Journey
“The ‘Wanderings’ EP is not just a sonic journey but also a reflection of our travels in 2024,” MC4D shared in a recent interview. From Joshua Tree to Banff and the Colorado Rockies, the duo channeled the freedom and wonder of these landscapes into their music. Tracks range from red-dirt country influences in ‘Travel On’ to the folk-inspired ballad ‘Be Here With Me Now’, creating a diverse yet cohesive collection.
Highlights from the EP
Some standout tracks from ‘Wanderings’ include:
- ‘Travel On’ – A red-dirt country anthem perfect for road trips.
- ‘Wyoming’ – A euphoric tune made for windows-down drives.
- ‘Be Here With Me Now’ – A heartfelt track with folk-inspired melodies.
A Breakout Year for MC4D
2024 has been a banner year for MC4D. With over 20 million streams on SoundCloud and viral remixes of tracks by Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, and others, their popularity has skyrocketed. Their ‘Down Under Mix’ series has topped the U.S. dance charts, and official remixes for artists like Flo Rida and Kesha have further cemented their reputation. Their 2024 tours, including the 40-show ‘Call It Fate Tour’ and the 35-show ‘Two Lane Tour’, featured performances at major festivals like Stagecoach and EDC Las Vegas.
A Vision for 2025
Looking ahead, MC4D shows no signs of slowing down. With several high-profile collaborations on the horizon and a major support tour set to be announced, their mission to redefine dance music with ‘folktronica’ is only just beginning.
