In an age of dance music largely dominated by house and bass subgenres, MC4D has focused on creating a sound entirely fresh and distinct from that dominating the EDM airwaves. Taking inspiration from the fast-growing Americana country and folk sounds led by artists like Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan, MC4D has built a project injecting the songwriting, instrumentation, and rawness of these genres into electronic music. Their new tracks “Travel On,” a red-dirt country-inspired adventure anthem, and “Wyoming,” an upbeat and euphoric record meant for windows-down drives, culminate the 7-song “Wanderings” EP. There is arguably nobody else in dance music combining folk, country, and electronic elements like MC4D, and their powerful electronic beats and infectious melodies conjure Avicii’s folk-house sound while holding mass appeal for country and folk fans.
Already amassing millions of plays on the “Wanderings” EP and having several high-profile collaborations lined up for early 2025, MC4D has positioned themselves to become leaders in the ‘folktronica’ genre and build something truly new and fresh in a saturated dance landscape.
“The ‘Wanderings’ EP is a representation of not just the sonic landscape we’ve built with our ‘folktronica’ sound, but also of the many travels we’ve been so lucky to experience in 2024. About a year ago, we made the decision to only release music in 2024 that truly felt like us, combining the indie, folk, country, and electronic genres we pull inspiration from. That led us to develop our folktronica style, ranging from our country-leaning ‘Travel On’ single to folk-leaning single ‘Be Here With Me Now’. We love how the EP encompasses a range of styles, from red-dirt country to Avicii-inspired anthemic folk, while still feeling like a cohesive project. Additionally, we aimed for the songs on the EP to reflect the incredible landscapes we visited in 2024, including Joshua Tree, Banff, the Colorado Rockies, and many more. Our goal is to build a unique brand of dance music that conjures the freedom, openness, and wonder that these places inspire, and our ‘Wanderings’ EP is the first step in that process.” – MC4D
