Among the many artist among the Electronic Dance Music scene, I’d like to give a special shout out to Pierce Fulton, a talented emerging DJ from New England. This Progressive House artist offers up many great tracks that can shake any consciousness into a perception of unbreakable positivity. His unique sound touches many chords, ranging from soft tracks to epic ballads.

I discovered this artist while listening to one of the latest episodes of 3LAU Haus, which showcased one of Fulton’s newest singles “Kuaga”. This mellow and youthful track, fresh as it was, evoked a strange sense of harmony that was hard to pull away from. After listening, I searched the song and found that it was popular song among mixers who’ve attempted to match the subtle beat into Zedd’s remix of MAGIC!’s “Rude” and 3LAU’s “How You Love Me”. “Kuaga” was just the beginning of my journey. Eventually I would discover a sea of amazing tracks that would heighten my fascination with dance music, and garnish an admiration towards Fulton as my newest favorite DJ/Producer.

Eventually looking into Fulton’s older tracks I discovered a collaboration with Meor Levi, an epic progressive track that can’t help but bring upon an uprising, whether it be on the dance floor, at a gathering with your closest friends, or in the solitude of your own home. Listening to “Wanna Be” will motivate you towards reaching your peak potential in any situation. I found myself inspired by the track, imagining hearing it live in the midst of lights in the city. It was remarkable, touching, and ultimately motivating.

Pierce Fulton’s hit “Runaway” was number 1 on Billboard’s Twitter Trending 140 this past summer. A remix by Divergent and Fault in Our Stars actor Ansel Elgort, also known as Ansolo, contributed to the tracks popularity. This track’s use good vocals and a steady beat graces listeners with a more soft and laid back tune that eases away the worries and allows for more insightful reflective thinking.

Pierce Fulton not only produces a unique sound of his own but he attributes this positive, upbeat, and rhythmic style into his remixes. Fulton’s mix of Cash Cash’s hit “Surrender” caught my attention as soon as it was released in early November. Though he doesn’t stretch too far from the original, he definitely adds his touch, with a steady quick beat behind the vocals, adding mystical sounds that entrance the ear. This style would be followed with a remix of a song off Dillon Francis’ new album “When We Were Young”. Fulton is on a roll as he implements an array of diverse sounds and a creative touch to his mixes as well as a positive driven style as he produces, driving listeners into an atmosphere of infinite emotions and possibilities.

Pierce Fulton brings a new definition towards the word electric. Songs aren’t just electrifying but they are magnetic, pulling you into an ocean of possibilities. He has earned a place on my MUST SEE LIVE bucket list as well as a place as one of my favorite DJs/Producers. The euphoria brought on by his diverse range of music, from trance like tracks, to progressive ballads, and epic drops, Fulton is worth a play to every ear.
