#NMF Dance: Our Picks For The Week
NMF Dance brings new music from Loco Dice, Eli Brown, Blanke, and more!
1. Loco Dice – “Hold Up (You Feel That)”
Loco Dice returns with “Hold Up (You Feel That),” a driving tech-house cut that highlights his distinctive place in electronic music. Rooted in hip-hop energy and powered by dense percussion, brisk rhythm, and Alaina Arnez’s spoken-word vocals, the track skips the big breakdown and goes straight for groove, pressure, and movement. Physical and precise, “Hold Up (You Feel That)” lands as both a night club weapon and a hip-hop-laced dance catcher.
2. Eli Brown – “Electrify”
Eli Brown opens his next chapter with “Electrify,” the first single from his new album Panic Attack. Built on warehouse-ready production, euphoric melodies, and a powerful vocal hook, the track channels the carefree rush of early rave culture. Notably, “Electrify” feels like a dancefloor time machine, pulling ravers back to a moment of pure escape, collective energy, and midnight euphoria.
3. Kaskade & Crankdat – “A Little Bit”
Kaskade and Crankdat join forces for the first time on “A Little Bit,” a massive collaboration first debuted during Kaskade’s 2026 Coachella comeback. Blending Kaskade’s cinematic, emotion-driven scale with Crankdat’s relentless bass design, the track bridges two eras of electronic music with explosive force. Consequently, “A Little Bit” lands as an epic dance record, a peak-time club weapon, and a festival moment highlighter.
4. Blanke – “Synchronise”
Blanke returns with PART III – AWAKENING, the most hopeful page in his evolving project yet. (Following more details on Blanke’s last page PART II – SKYFIRE, HERE). Led by “Synchronise,” Blanke reconnects with the darker midtempo weight of his early sound, turning hope into something heavy, introspective, and deeply human. Indeed, the release also arrives ahead of his Lost In Dreams set in Los Angeles on July 11.
5. SIDEPIECE – “CAN I RIDE” ft. 95 SOUTH
SIDEPIECE returns with “Can I Ride,” a tech house single featuring 95 South. Establishing SIDEPIECE’s club-focused groove with 95 South’s Southern hip-hop party energy, the single turns catchy gang vocals and a “Wet-N-Wild” sample into a playful dancefloor hook. From there, crisp claps, deep bassline rolls, snappy drums, and warm synths give the Cadillac-ready anthem a sleek modern house edge.
