During the first week of DAD's existence, we looked at the EDM tracks that Major League Baseball players were using as walk-up songs in 2012. Since then, we've seen EDM creeping into the MLB world slowly, whether its Afrojack playing at the MLB Fan Cave on opening day or W&W playing a special July 4 show after a Phillies game. As 2013 is the year that EDM's rise takes it further into the mainstream, we decided to look at the tracks that players used in 2013, and we must admit: while we're not surprised that Skrillex's "Bangarang" and Flux Pavilion's "I Can't Stop" got a lot of love, the inclusion of the likes of RL Grime, Calvin Harris, and Kavinsky surprised us. Take a look at what EDM moved MLB players in 2013.
