New drops this week from sombr, Mitski, FISHER, and more on NMF Dance and New Music Friday!
NMF Dance: Our Picks For The Week
This week’s NMF Dance brings fresh releases from TOMORA, Markus Martinez, and more!
1. Markus Martinez, Scissors – “Dimelo”
“Dimelo” finds Swiss tech house force Scissors collaborating with Markus Martinez for a Latin house weapon. Driven by fiery grooves and festival-ready swagger, it’s the kind of track that can slide seamlessly into house and tech house playlists while still standing out as a hands-in-the-air moment.
2. FISHER – “Rain”
FISHER storms into 2026 with “Rain.” Built on a rolling, high-energy groove paired on top of a hypnotic repeating vocal, it turns stripped-back ingredients into a massive, reaffirming rush that’s already tearing up festival sets. Premiered to a frenzy at his 40,000-cap Moscone Center show and now a staple in his UNVRS and festival runs, “Rain” is primed to be this season’s go-to club weapon.
3. TOMORA – “COME CLOSER”
On “COME CLOSER,” Tom Rowlands and AURORA crystallize the duo’s vision into a shimmering title track that feels both intimate and widescreen. “COME CLOSER” fuses Chemical Brothers level electronic drama with AURORA’s otherworldly presence that pushes the listeners straight into TOMORA’s strange, magnetic universe.
4. Jason Ross, Lin was here – “Crash”
“Crash” pairs Jason Ross and Lin was here on top of sparse piano and muted guitar before erupting into a sonic leap into uncertainty. Guided by Lin’s introspective topline and a refrain that feels like permission to finally move, “Crash” lives up to its name as a cathartic, heart-on-sleeve opener for Ross’s next album chapter.
5. CamelPhat, Arodes – “Cycles”
CamelPhat and Spanish producer Arodes drops “Cycles,” an instrumental progressive house piece that lets atmosphere and movement dictate the narrative. The track works on built up cycles of hypnotic loops that makes the track feel sonically more hypnotic and energetic.

#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week
Exciting new drops this week from Mitski, sombr, JOJI, and more!
1. Trxy! – “You Said”
“You Said” is a brooding nu-gaze anthem that blooms from drifting ambience, hitting fast and hard yet lingering long after it ends. Built on dense, hazy instrumentation and emotional weight, it channels the intensity at the heart of Drowning In Bliss into something both cathartic and crushing.
2. Mitski – “I’ll Change for You”
“I’ll Change for You” is a lush, mid-tempo confession where Mitski vows to reshape herself just to be loved again, her voice suspended in strings, piano, flute, and vibraphone. Tender and quietly devastating, it extends the Tansy House universe of her new album, capturing a character caught between the freedom of isolation and the ache of wanting to be wanted.
3. Joji – “Last of a Dying Breed”
“Last of a Dying Breed” distills Joji’s new era into a slow-burning, melancholic standout, pairing bruised, reflective writing with gritty, atmospheric production that feels both intimate and cinematic. Letting the character of the song stay in focus while he stays slightly out of frame, Joji leans into his anti-pop instincts, making heartbreak feel mythic without losing his very own raw, human edge.
4. Maisie Peters – “My Regards”
“My Regards” captures the emotional heart of Florescence, written from the far side of heartbreak with the clarity that comes after distance. Framed by the album’s warm, story-forward production, it reads like a sharply observed letter to the past, balancing wit, regret, and hard-won self-knowledge as Maisie steps fully into her next chapter.
5. sombr – “Homewrecker”
“Homewrecker” cements sombr’s post–debut glow-up: a sharp, self-written pop confessional that leans into the messiest side of heartbreak with cinematic flair. Framed by a Gus Black directed Western-style video that blurs the line between on-set drama and real tension, it turns jealousy, chaos, and romantic fallout into a hook-heavy, radio-ready gut punch.
