[Cupe]

The 2016 installment of the Budweiser Made in America festival begins Labor Day weekend, and there’s plenty of talent on board for this two-day event. With so many acts on the roster, you might have trouble figuring out who to see. We've put together a list of five phenomenal acts that are worth your time checking out.

Sleepy Tom. Vancouver native Sleep Tom has caught the attention of thousands of fans around the world with his unique stamp on modern day electronic music. After his firecracker EP The Currency hit the streets, he immediately became an in demand remixer for heavy hitters such as Martin Solveig, GTA, Diplo, and Zeds Dead. Since then, he has put out tracks on Mad Decent and Fool’s Gold, along with collaborations with Anna Lunoe and Gladiator. Now, his internet bootlegs and official remixes can be heard everywhere from festival stages to BBC radio shows across the world.

DJ Mustard. Los Angeles native Dijon McFarlane, aka DJ Mustard, has quickly become one of the most sought after producers in the business. This producer, songwriter, and DJ has produced numerous hip hop and R&B singles for artists since he entered the game in 2011 such as “I’m Different” with 2 Chainz, “Don’t Hurt Me” featuring Nicki Minaj and Jeremih, and “Rack City” featuring Tyga. He’s the man behind that infamous tag “Mustard on the beat, hoe!” that’s been heard countless times on tracks. His up-tempo, club oriented yet primitive melodic style has also caught the attention of electronic producers such as Cashmere Cat, DJ Snake, and 4B.

Jamie XX.  If you’re a fan of The XX, you have no excuse to miss Jamie XX’s set. His first solo album “In Colour” was hailed as one of the best albums of 2015. His downtempo, vibrant sound will surely be a feel-good type of set.

Tchami. Hailing from Paris, french DJ Tchami has been killing the future house genre since his unique sound starting hitting the airwaves. Aside from remixing Janet Jackson and Carlonie Koch tracks, Tchami has co-written platinum hits such as DJ Snake’s “Turn Down for What,” Major Lazer’s “Lean On,” and Lady Gaga’s “Do What U Want.” If you want to catch a set that will take you on a musical journey, be sure not to miss his set.

Madeon. French producer Madeon has one of the most impressive live sets in electronic dance music. What makes him different? He uses a Launchpad to in conjunction with Ableton. Although his sound is more classic, he injects funkyness into his live sets that will have your body moving. We can expect this master genre mixer will play anything from rock to dubstep while adding his own twist.
