A star studded New Music Friday featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Central Cee, Fcukers, and more!
NMF Dance: Our Picks For The Week
NMF Dance brings new music from Fcukers, Subtronics, Ty Dolla $ign, and more!
1. Wax Motif, Ty Dolla $ign – “Bad & U Know It”
Sydney-born, LA-based Wax Motif returns with “Bad & U Know It,” a sleek house x R&B crossover that spotlights Ty Dolla $ign’s in-the-pocket melodic instincts over a stripped-back, groove-first beat. As the lead single from House of Wax II, it extends Wax’s evolution from club specialist to fully-fledged cross-genre producer, following collaborations with names like Ye (Kanye West) and Timbaland.
2. FILLY – “Chemical Love”
Vienna-based artist and producer FILLY drops “Chemical Love,” an edgy, glossy club-pop single that bottles the rush and danger of obsession into a high-voltage dance anthem. Known for blending hyperpop sheen with European dance pulses, she leans into pulsing, French house energy here, pairing sugar-rush synths with razor-sharp writing about dependency, self-erasure, and chasing someone else’s glow.
3. Zeds Dead, Subtronics & Tape B – “Word Scramble”
“Word Scramble” unites Zeds Dead, Subtronics, and Tape B for a collab that feels like a snapshot of the genre operating at stadium scale. First teased during their B3B at Decadence Denver, the track has already lived a full life in fan communities and live sets, building lore before its official release. Sonically, it’s packed with intricate sound design that speak to each artist’s signature while still landing as one cohesive weapon.
4. Marlon Hoffstadt (DJ Daddy Trance) – “Breathe”
Under his DJ Daddy Trance alias, Marlon Hoffstadt’s “Breathe” channels the euphoria of endless nights with friends into an expansive, emotionally charged trance cut. The single arrives just as he steps onto some of his biggest stages yet, including Ultra Miami and Coachella, underscoring the sense of wide-open possibility baked into the track. “Breathe” is primed for both festival highlight reels and casual streaming.
5. Fcukers – “Lonely”
On their debut album Ö, electronic duo Fcukers deliver a no-skips, dance-pop statement that threads together big-room euphoria with left-of-center club sensibilities. Co-produced by Kenneth Blume (FKA Kenny Beats), the project leans into tracks built for sweaty, maximalist dancefloors. The long-teased cut “Lonely,” which arrives with a visualizer after circulating in ID circles, is the ideal focus track: a fan-favorite blend of addictive rhythm and introspective melancholy that crystallizes what makes Fcukers’ world so compelling.

#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week
New music from RAYE, The Maine, Yeat, and more on New Music Friday.
1. Yeat, Elton John – “Lose Control (feat. Elton John)”
Yeat’s most ambitious project A Dangerous Lyfe / A Dangerous Love is a double album that pulls in Elton John, Grimes, Kid Cudi, 070 Shake, and more across 21 tracks, pushing his signature melodic rap into genuinely cinematic territory. Following his #1 debut with LYFESTYLE, Yeat is clearly swinging for a whole new level. “Lose Control” with Elton John is the collab nobody saw coming and somehow makes total sense.
2. Central Cee, J Hus – “Slaughter (feat. J Hus)”
Cench is back with a seven-track EP (All Roads Lead Home) that hits like a homecoming. It’s a sharp, introspective project that balances global ambitions with a grounding return to his West London roots. The J Hus collab “Slaughter” is a landmark moment for UK rap, bringing together two of Britain’s most singular voices for the very first time.
3. The Maine – “Palms”
The Maine are back and greener than ever, as the band enters their “green era” ahead of their tenth studio album Joy Next Door dropping April 10. The single “Palms” is a propulsive, energetic shot of rock that captures the band at their most urgent and unfiltered. Written in 30 minutes and finished over months of crafting, it’s a reminder of why this band has been doing it for nearly two decades.
4. RAYE – “Nightingale Lane.”
RAYE’s sophomore album This Music May Contain Hope is a 17-track emotional odyssey, and “Nightingale Lane.” is a soaring ballad that is one of its most stunning centerpieces. If “Where Is My Husband!” introduced the world to this era, “Nightingale Lane.” is proof there’s so much more depth waiting underneath.
5. Whitney Whitney – “Dream Girl”
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Whitney Whitney blends theatrical vocals with intimate, orchestral pop on Dream Girl.” Her new EP 1.2 also comes loaded with her breakout hit “Isabelle” and the already-buzzing “A Man Written By A Woman,” produced by the team behind PinkPantheress and Conan Gray. She’s making her festival debut at Lollapalooza this year, and this is the project that’s going to make everyone wish they’d been early.
