Top 7 acoustic covers of electronic music

Electronic Dance Music is somewhat different than most other styles. Instead of playing the tracks live at concerts; Artists play their cd/vinyl/track and backs it up by lots of lights, lasers, dancers and so on – Also called Djs.

But there are some really talented people out there that do what most EDM producers and Djs can’t: Play it live with real instruments.

Check out these awesome acoustic covers of EDM tracks:

Daft Punk – Around The World (On violin & guitar)

Basement Jaxx – Red Alert (On guitar)

Binary Finary – 1998 (On guitar)

Faithless – Insomnia (Guitar & Drums, played by Jamie Archer)

Daft Punk – Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Live band)

Justice – D.A.N.C.E (Acoustic Guitar)

The Prodigy – Breathe (Guitar, Bass, Drums)

I’m sure I’ve missed other great videos. If you got any other gems, post them in the comment field, and we’ll put ‘em in this post

   That’s pretty cool. They look like they were having a lot of fun and I don’t blame them – Around the world is a great song.
