NMF Dance: Our Picks For The Week

Check out this week’s new dance releases on NMF Dance!

1. INZO – “Mirrorverse”

INZO opens a new chapter with “Mirrorverse,” a cinematic title track that doubles as the portal into his forthcoming EP and 2026 headline tour. Centered on themes of reflection, the song blooms from crystalline, slow-building production into a sweeping climax of radiant synths and textures, distilling what INZO calls the “core sound” in his artistic DNA. As the first glimpse into a wider universe arriving later this spring, “Mirrorverse” feels both self-contained and like a guiding star.

2. Josh Butler – “Sweet Spot”

Josh Butler kicks off 2026 with “Only Eight” and “Sweet Spot,” a return that threads his deep-house roots through a sleek, modern club lens. “Sweet Spot” leans into tracking rhythms, stripped-back textures, and a hazy vocal that rides a slinking groove, nodding back to early Butler favorites while still pushing his sound forward.

3. T & Sugah, Nu-La – “Overflow”

T & Sugah and Nu-La let the emotions “Overflow” on a cinematic, vocal-driven drum & bass anthem made for big systems and bigger feelings. Euphoric yet reflective, it bottles that pivotal moment of transformation into a rush of renewal, underscoring both the duo’s community-first ethos and Nu-La’s rise as one of UK dance music’s most in-demand voices.

4. Notre Dame, Max Styler – “You & Me”

Notre Dame stretches Max Styler’s “You & Me” into a slow-burning indie dance horizon, recasting the Nu Moda debut as a meditative afterhours weapon. Letting the topline hover over a hypnotic drum pulse, he swaps peak-time heft for dubbed-out bass swells, shimmering modular textures, and cosmic melodic flickers that feel tailor-made for sunrise resets.

5. Leondis – “ONLY U”

Leondis drops “ONLY U,” his first standalone single for Lost In Dreams and a melodic bass gut-punch about the one that got away. Centered on a warm, expressive topline and echoing female harmonies that drift like half-faded memories, the track moves from quiet ache to cathartic lift. Shimmering guitars, organic drums, and sweeping, pitch-shifted drops showcase seven years of him refining his Leondis sound.

#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week

New music from Harry Styles, Ellise, Mulaa Joans, and more!

1. Lø Spirit – “XO To The Grave”

Lø Spirit turns pain into a promise on “XO To The Grave,” a bruised, alt-rock confessional written for his son in the midst of his ongoing battle with chronic illness. Through this track, he folds real-life scars into a cathartic, heavy-hitting anthem that feels built for both headphones and festival stages. Arriving on the heels of his ILLENIUM collab “War,” breakout single “Aløne,” and a sold-out U.S. headline run, “XO To The Grave” underlines Lø Spirit’s gift for turning lived experience into connection.

2. Matt Hansen – “SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN”

Matt Hansen zooms in on the gray area with “SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN,” an intimate, slow-burning cut about a relationship caught between holding on and letting go. The track deepens the world of his forthcoming debut album, due this spring, and follows “COMPASS,” which recently broke into the Top 10 on Spotify’s New Music Friday. With “SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN,” Hansen proves once again that he’s only back and bigger than ever.

3. Harry Styles – “Aperture”

After a 3 year hiatus, Harry Styles cracks open a long anticipated new era with “Aperture,” the lead single from his fourth studio album KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY., arriving March 6. “Aperture” serves as the first snapshot of a project executive produced by longtime collaborator Kid Harpoon, hinting at a world where big-hearted pop collides with winking, left‑of‑center disco. With limited-edition vinyl, box sets, and more already up for pre-order, “Aperture” feels poised to reset the conversation around one of pop’s most reliable shape‑shifters.

4. Ellise – “Sexxxtapes”

Ellise cracks open a new era with “Sexxxtapes,” a dark-pop confessional that pushes her gold-certified storytelling into sleeker, more cinematic territory. Co-written with JT Foley and Arthur Besnainou, the track threads Daft Punk‑esque vocal processing mirroring the obsessive loop of a love she can’t shake. Paired with a video that blurs the line between memory and reality, “Sexxxtapes” follows a lost relationship that still stains her present, setting the tone for Act II of her PRETTY EVIL tour.

5. Mulaa Joans – “Phone Sex”

Mulaa Joans cuts straight to the nerve on “Phone Sex.” Framed by a live string arrangement recorded at London’s RAK Studios under Tony Award-winner Simon Hale, her voice moves from hushed confession to full-bodied ache, sitting somewhere between old‑school soul and hyper-modern pop candor. Coming off a sold-out night at The Social and a BBC Introducing Artist of the Week co-sign, “Phone Sex” feels like the moment her breakthrough year truly snaps into focus.
