Twin-brother duo MC4D is redefining the boundaries of dance music with their debut EP, Wanderings, released December 6, 2024. The self-produced 7-track project introduces a fresh sonic hybrid: folktronica, a seamless blend of folk, country, Americana, and electronic dance music (EDM). With standout tracks like “Travel On” and “Wyoming,” MC4D showcases a soundscape that bridges genres in a way few artists have attempted.
“Travel On”, the EP’s lead single, is a red-dirt country anthem packed with rustic charm and driven by soaring melodies. Meanwhile, “Wyoming” embodies a euphoric energy perfect for road trips through wide-open landscapes. Both tracks highlight the duo’s knack for infusing heartfelt songwriting and acoustic instrumentation with pulsating beats and festival-ready energy. Fans of Avicii’s folk-inspired anthems or artists like Noah Kahan and Zach Bryan will feel at home in MC4D’s universe.
The brothers describe Wanderings as an ode to their travels across North America in 2024, from the sun-kissed deserts of Joshua Tree to the majestic peaks of Banff. “This EP is a sonic reflection of the landscapes we’ve visited and the freedom they inspire. It represents not just our travels but the musical freedom we’ve found by merging indie, country, and EDM into something uniquely ours,” they shared.
A Growing Force in Dance Music
MC4D’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Their country-EDM Down Under Mix series dominated SoundCloud’s U.S. Dance charts in 2024, racking up over 20 million streams and cementing their reputation as pioneers of the folktronica movement. Viral remixes of artists like Zach Bryan and Shaboozey have drawn millions of fans on social media, while their original releases and official remixes for major names like Flo Rida, Steve Aoki, and Meghan Trainor have collectively surpassed 25 million streams.
The duo’s high-energy live shows, which graced stages at festivals like EDC Las Vegas, Stagecoach, and Summerfest, have also been instrumental in their success. With over 75 headline performances in 2024, including their “Call It Fate Tour” and “Two Lane Tour,” MC4D has proven they’re not just a studio act—they’re a must-see on the dance music circuit.
The Future of Folktronica
With Wanderings, MC4D cements their place as trailblazers in the folktronica space. As the Americana, folk, and country genres continue to influence mainstream pop and dance music, MC4D’s innovative fusion is positioned to resonate with a broad audience. With major collaborations and another big tour on the horizon in 2025, the duo’s journey has only just begun.
If you’re ready to experience a dance genre that feels like an open-road adventure, give Wanderings a spin—it’s an EP made for both the dance floor and the Rockies.
