1) Madeon – Adventure
Even though Madeon released Adventure fairly early in the year, plenty of people in the music community were already fairly sure that it would be the best album of 2015.
Both sonically and conceptually, Madeon has proven himself one of EDM’s most capable producers. From its shimmering synths down to its sometimes funky rhythms, Adventure was a musical spectacle that shone like nothing else. Every measure was so complex and poignant that they almost made you wish you had more time to analyze and digest it, but the whole of it made just as powerful a statement.
With such a colossal debut album under his belt, we can’t wait to see what Madeon will unveil in the years to follow. Out of all the EDM albums that have come out in 2015, his is the one that raised the bar on what could be achieved by artists of the esteemed genre.
