6[[AC:From ''DJMAX Online'']]
7* [[https://youtu.be/qm-F9J-bGRg "Ray of Illuminati"]] by [=ESTi=], a song with a powerful guitar solo near the end. Unfortunately, when the song was brought to ''DJMAX Technika 2'', it had to be cut to be arcade-friendly, and that included snipping out parts of said solo. Fortunately Creator/{{Taito}} didn't make the same mistake, and kept the full-length track as-is when it was crossed over to ''VideoGame/GrooveCoaster''.
8* [[https://youtu.be/wd5RcQFrbqw Say My Love]], which sadly has yet to appear in a ''DJMAX'' game later than ''Online''.

13* The entire sound track of the DJMAX games, especially the game openings: ''Portable 1'' is [[https://youtu.be/L6dMdoHjiBQ "Ask To Wind Live Mix" by Forte Escape]], ''Portable 2'' is [[https://youtu.be/tlNzW8PXYAI "Your Own Miracle" by Ruby Tuesday]] which is basically the same opening for Fever, ''Portable Clazziquai Edition'' is [[https://youtu.be/p6VGbsepI3s "Flea" by Clazziquai themselves]], ''Portable Black Square'' is [[https://youtu.be/RzR0WASkXcc Get Down, written by BJJ]], and ''Portable 3'' has [[https://youtu.be/BKDniIlsvlA "Flash Finger" by newcomer Mr.Funky]].
14%%* [[https://youtu.be/cTxutEWYP2I PLAY. THE. FUTURE.]]
15* [[https://youtu.be/jaL9DiZhnB0 The ending song]] to ''Portable 3'' that's not even on the OST. While no indication of what the song is exactly can be found anywhere in the game, it's been discovered the song is called [[https://youtu.be/URR-gGrI4DQ "Armageddon" by The Windband Network]].
16* [[https://youtu.be/J-gzNQqLiQQ Stay With Me]] by Ruby Tuesday. The [[https://youtu.be/WDdmPCR_qOE full version]] is even better. Also by Ruby Tuesday, [[https://youtu.be/Ty9BneMpISo Ready Now]]. Also with a [[https://youtu.be/9y15W-clDcY full version]].
17* Like MASAI? Then you'll enjoy [[https://youtu.be/ep-uW7Zzj-o its remix]].
18%%* [[https://youtu.be/LzXfFj3Rwj8 Hanz Up!]] from ''Portable 3''.

22%%* [[https://youtu.be/hO06LY_3ceU BEYOND. THE. FUTURE.]]
23%%* ''Technika 2''[='=]s tutorial music [[https://youtu.be/pYEu5c7Hlr0#t=38s "Color Beat"]], by Electronic Boutique.
24* It seems like ''Technika'' [[ThatOneBoss boss songs]] are required to be awesome:
25** [[https://youtu.be/TckpRsT4unE "Son of Sun"]], by rhythm game veteran Shinji Hosoe, AKA Sampling Masters MEGA.
26** [[https://youtu.be/apmRJhPAPOo "D2"]] by First Aid is a fast and furious arrangement of Camille Saint-Saëns' "Danse Macabre".
27** [[https://youtu.be/Zdc4e1_u3Bo Thor]] and [[https://youtu.be/nU9FonaYfxg its extended version]].
28* [[https://youtu.be/hI0-6mPqWhQ "Xlasher"]], also by Hosoe. Say what you will about the {{Narm}}y {{Engrish}}, this song is "[[NarmCharm REAL FACT]], [[MemeticMutation REAL ADVANTAGE]]!"
29* ''Technika 3'' brings us [[https://youtu.be/Suk3b5WV5Q8 Supernova]] by long-time rave composer Cranky, doing what he's been doing since the late 90s - high energy rave tracks.

33[[AC:From ''DJMAX Respect'']]
34* ''Respect'' continues the tradition of having awesome opening themes with Bexter's [[https://youtu.be/pCLyI9YNRbc "Glory Day"]]. The credits theme has the more laid-back [[https://youtu.be/4WcLckkj9Dw acoustic version]].
35* [[https://youtu.be/7wFd9cIPefU "U.A.D"]], an upbeat electro song by ''Respect'' newcomer HAYAKO and one of the first songs teased by DJMAX's official Website/YouTube channel.
36* [[https://youtu.be/TbdZiu3Rarw "Only for you"]] by [=NieN=] is an easy-listening K-Pop song that became the most viewed ''Respect'' official music video on DJMAX's official Website/YouTube channel. Given [=NieN=]'s expertise in K-Pop and former T-Ara member Lee Ji Ae singing, [[EnsembleDarkhorse no wonder why the song becomes one of the favorites among DJMAX Playerbase]].
37* [[https://youtu.be/oBC1t4TT89k "Remains of Doom"]]. The same [=NieN=] that brought you "Only for you" also composed and sang a powerful death metal. Complete with breathtaking visuals and a Pharaoh!
38* [[https://youtu.be/vJmxsAG68eY "Ruti'n (GOTH Wild Electro Remix)"]], which takes Bexter's original noir film guitar piece and turns it into a high-energy electro track.
39* [[https://youtu.be/FJiWn8TMP08 "Don't Die"]], a chiptune drum & bass song by long-time ''Technika'' artist Paul Bazooka. Bonus points for the SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}} music video, which depicts a gamer [[BribingYourWayToVictory wasting away his money in an RPG]] doing [[HaveANiceDeath the exact opposite of the song's title]].
40* [[https://youtu.be/iWnmz72odlQ "We're All Gonna Die"]], also by Paul Bazooka, almost sounds like the evil twin of "Don't Die", being a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieselboy Dieselboy]]-esque darkstep drum & bass track.
41* [[https://youtu.be/eust-RN0HD0 "Enter the Universe"]] by GOTH, an intense [[{{Trance}} psytrance]] song.
42* [[https://youtu.be/lBOuqIMva6Q "Killer Bee"]], also by GOTH. Notable for being a [[TrapMusic trap]] song, a genre the series doesn't usually dabble in.
43* [[https://youtu.be/zgtT288z8nk "NB Ranger - Virgin Force"]], the latest installment in the [[EnsembleDarkhorse NB Ranger]] line of songs. The music video also continues the tradition of the NB Rangers [[AntiLoveSong ruining couples' lives]] in one way or another. The video ends with NB Red and the ghosts of his "fallen" teammates [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill blasting away]] a [[NiceGuy nice girl]] with a huge laser weapon, and then ''a freaking HumongousMecha'' after that!
44* [[https://youtu.be/xfwL9jvA2jY "Armored Phantom"]] by ned, a booming orchestral track with ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders'' style vocals in its later half. The track sounds like it wouldn't be out of place in an action movie.
45%%* [[https://youtu.be/iJi-OH3Zrcg "Far East Princess"]] by nauts, an oriental waltz.
46%%* [[https://youtu.be/Genn3iHp2H0 "quixotic"]] by Bermei Inazawa, a vocal orchestral trance piece.
47* [[https://youtu.be/1CGzQDyyZOk "Nevermind"]] by Paul Bazooka, an epic trance piece introduced in the ''Trilogy'' DLC pack. Even the developers are attached to the song - it's been used repeatedly in ''Respect'' promotional videos after its release.
48%%* The ''Technika'' pack brings the disco dance piece [[https://youtu.be/4psK3x42jrg "Do you want it"]] by the band House Rulez.
49* From the ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' series:
50** [[https://youtu.be/_kK3J0052pU "Break a Spell"]], the blazing-fast opening theme to ''Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELEATOR-''
51** [[https://youtu.be/4RYTgFia0RU "Marionette"]], Elphelt's theme. For those that want [[SadBattleMusic more somber, but no less powerful-sounding rock music]], this is the track for you.
52** [[https://youtu.be/VKFZZJxghDk "Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead)"]], Ky's theme (the ''Overture'' version). The electric guitar-and-violin duo serves to remind players that this is indeed a song from a fighting game franchise. ''Guilty Gear'''s [[AwesomeMusic/GuiltyGear own Awesome Music page]] flat out calls this one "Creator/DaisukeIshiwatari's masterpiece", which should already say a lot.
53* From ''VideoGame/GirlsFrontline'':
54** [[https://youtu.be/RH_8HOfRmp4 "Frontline"]] (Korean version), the theme for the game's [[AnimeOfTheGame (proposed) anime]]. Despite being shortened in length for ''DJMAX'', it still manages to fit in the beautiful piano intro and transitions into a rock piece for the rest of the track.
55** [[https://youtu.be/q3O12RclbkA "What am I fighting for?"]], the ending theme of the ''Singularity'' chapter. Between the driving bassline, melodic synths and Akino's vocals, this fan favorite track makes for a great addition to ''DJMAX Respect'''s library of drum and bass tracks.
56** [[https://youtu.be/DA9OlHVHRK0 "Barbarous Funera"]], [[VillainSong Gaia's boss battle theme]]. Take one of [=NieN=]'s darker-sounding metal tracks (like "Rock Or Die"), add some piano and violin flair, and you get this track.
57* From ''VideoGame/GrooveCoaster'':
58** [[https://youtu.be/BozGJJJUrUU "ouroboros ~twin stroke of the end~"]] is an absolute roller coaster ride of rave synths, piano, and thumping bass, combining the best of Cranky's rave and [[VideoGame/{{Darius}} Masaki Mori]]'s {{Shmup}} OST styles.
59** [[https://youtu.be/p55PziQGLDA "Warrior"]] brings some of Cranky's trademark 90's style rave to the table. It also has some influences from his most well-known single, "Conflict" (see the spinoff section), opening with a slow buildup of synths and some storytelling about [[TitleDrop a warrior]] who must bravely face his worst nightmares.
60* From ''VideoGame/{{Deemo}}'', [[https://youtu.be/IW3U91Jg15k "Magnolia"]], the FinalBoss song of the game's first chapter. Composed by long-time ''DJMAX'' artist [=M2U=], this particular song fits right at home with the game's other piano trance songs, like Colours of Sorrow and Heart of Witch. The song's melancholy vocals are also sure to strike a chord with players, even for those who aren't privy to ''Deemo''[='=]s storyline. It's really no wonder that it landed its own spot in [[AwesomeMusic/{{Deemo}} its own Awesome Music page]].

62[[AC:From the spinoff games]]
63* From multiple games, [[https://youtu.be/e8HRTlkGD4Q Conflict]], an [[GenreBusting unexpected mashup]] between indie-slash-[[VideoGame/{{beatmania}} BMS]] artists siromaru and Cranky, known for their schranz and rave/classical music, respectively (with Cranky's wife Pico providing [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous]] {{Conlang}} [[OminousLatinChanting Chanting]] as vocals). If this song [[http://www.bmsoffighters.net/bof2011/result.html#3 taking first place in its debut beatmania fan contest]] isn't enough, Neowiz felt the need to put the song in both ''Superbeat [=XONiC=]'' and ''Tap Sonic Top''!
64* ''Tap Sonic'' series:
65** [[https://youtu.be/V4gOywARRwQ Devil's Whispering]] by Kaneko Chiharu, a fast-paced classical piece with speedcore elements that wouldn't sound too out of place as a boss theme in a role playing game. In fact, many fans in the comments section feel it should be a boss song in ''Respect'' as DLC.
66** [[https://youtu.be/9YQloM53O3M Weather Auction]] by Harunaba, a jazz rock song that's not only fun to listen to, but also a blast to play in-game because of its unusual note placement.
