‘Black Music Month’: 10 Emerging Electronic Artists You Should Check Out To Commemorate The Event

June is officially Black Music Month, known as African-American Music Appreciation Month, and we have chosen 10 of the best emerging artists that represent it.

It is difficult to choose only 10 black artists among the enormous list of talents that we have in the world for Black Music Month, so we didn’t limit our recommendations to American artists because we truly think that these talents deserve more repercussion than they have right now. The taste and elegance in their sound and the wide range of electronic music genres that they tackle are the main features to shape this list.

SAMII

Samii Hagos songs have the power of changing your mood automatically. With their incredible voice and those 80’s and 90’s House funky beats, you will be dancing no matter what.
