No matter where you lie on the electronic music spectrum, this week’s New Music Friday Dance is sure to satisfy. Jump into June with a full roster of energetic releases.
1. Disclosure: “She’s Gone, Dance On”
The renowned Disclosure returns with a euphoric house track, “She’s Gone, Dance On.” Similar to the visuals, the song is sunny and psychedelic, immediately sending sparks of energy through the body. The lyrics send a positive message, encouraging the listener to keep dancing through a moment of loss.
2. Sara Landry, Alt8: “Heaven”
Techno princess Sara Landry joins forces with Alt8 to deliver “Heaven.” It is high-intensity and stimulating (as expected), featuring a catchy, chopped vocal run sample. Laser-like sounds pan back and forth, filling the sonic space, and transporting the listener to an underground warehouse.
3. Henry Fong, MC Maromba, KAROU: “Pa Pa Pa”
Henry Fong takes listeners to Brazil with “Pa Pa Pa,” featuring MC Maromba and KAROU. Mixing Brazilian Funk with deep house, it is simply impossible to stay still. The bassline pulsates with power behind vocals that encourage “Move your booty to the left, move your booty to the right.”
4. Kygo, HAYLA: “Without You”
Kygo and HAYLA release “Without You,” a cathartic, sparkling, and bright house track. HAYLA’s deep, full vocals belt to the heavens, supported by resonant piano chords, simmering percussion, and incredible builds. This song is certainly a happy pill, despite the emotional, yearning lyrics.
5. Adam Beyer: “Ghost Kiss”
Trance & techno artist Adam Beyer brings the heat with “Ghost Kiss.” The beat is haunting, matching the distorted, deep vocal sample that commands, “Move your body.” A multi-layered voice sings “oh oh oh oh” from ear to ear, almost manifesting as a spinning sensation.
