NMF Dance: Our Picks For The Week
New drops from Skrillex, Good Knights, Max Styler, and more!
1. Devault – “Zero”
Devault makes a charged return with “Zero,” a sharply cut club track anchored by Kučka’s entrancing vocal and slow-burning synths that builds into a cathartic drop/ Precision-engineered for those euphoric but fleeting club highs, it extends the emotional world of his breakthrough “Feels Like Us” into something more vibrant and high-energy. As he steps into 2026 with a sharpened vision and an 18-plus-stop run behind him, “Zero” sets the tone for a new, club-forward chapter in his evolving sound
2. Ahadadream, Skrillex, Raf-Saperra – “Bass Dhol”
“Bass Dhol” finds Pakistan-born, London-based Ahadadream teaming up with dubstep legend Skrillex and Punjabi vocal force Raf-Saperra for a percussive club weapon that turns the dhol into a sub-rattling lead instrument. The track fuses the unmistakable power of Punjabi rhythms with propulsive electronic beats and pushes club music forward by turning South Asian roots up to full volume.
3. Paul Webster, Yasmin Jane – “Live Forever”
“Live Forever” is an uplifting trance anthem from Dublin producer Paul Webster and London vocalist Yasmin Jane, built around the idea of an unconditional love that stretches into eternity. Jane’s sweet, smoky topline glides over warm piano chords and shimmering arpeggios makes the track feel elevated and polished. With Webster’s two-decade legacy in trance and Jane’s crossover presence in pop and dance, “Live Forever” lands as a big-room emotional release.
4. Good Knights – “I Wish I Had a Friend”
Good Knights return with “I Wish I Had a Friend,” a poignant yet propulsive alt-dance cut. Following their debut single “Ghost,” already clocking more than 449k streams in a month and over 13 million views across socials, the song solidifies the project’s emotional and conceptual ambitions. With producer Aukoustics’ underground speed house instincts and Dana Williams’ magnetic hooks, Good Knights are crafting a universe where human vulnerability and digital-age anxiety collide in neon color.
5. Max Styler, Ad-Apt – “One More”
On “One More,” Max Styler and UK MC Ad-Apt works together to form a lean, kinetic tech house anthem. Coming off Nu Moda’s breakout debut “You & Me,” which topped Beatport’s Indie Dance chart and earned heavy radio and DJ support, the track doubles down on the imprint’s late-night, dancefloor-first ethos. Backed by Styler’s chart-topping momentum, “One More” arrives as a mission statement for after-hours hedonism: there’s always time for one more.

#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week
Check out new releases from Kami Kahoe, Bebe Rhexa, Central Cee, and more!
1. Kami Kehoe – “HEARTLESS”
Alt-rock rising star Kami Kehoe cuts into a darker, razor-edged lane with “HEARTLESS,” a love song suspended right at the brink of collapse rather than in its aftermath. Following “FADE OUT,” her “SEX ON FIRE” cover, and a nationwide run supporting Daughtry, Seether, and POD, she doubles down on her reputation as one of the genre’s most magnetic new voices. “HEARTLESS” signals a new chapter where her songwriting goes softer in sound but sharper in impact.
2. Yaelokre – “Hearken”
For Yaelokre’s new EP Composing Colentine, “Hearken” stands out as the natural focus track. Serving as the EP’s finale, it gathers the emotional threads of Cole and Clémente’s story into one sweeping, six-minute meditation on what it means to exist fully in the present. Over gently strummed, surreal folk arrangements, Yaelokre’s writing turns the track into a kind of self-address, inviting listeners to hearken: to listen closely, sway above the meadows, and treasure the fleeting moment before it’s gone.
3. Bebe Rehxa – “Dirty Blonde [The Super Dirty Cut]”
Bebe Rexha kicks off her DIRTY BLONDE era with a four-minute megamix and supercut that collides 13 upcoming tracks and visual teasers into one breathless, social-native dispatch. Curated with longtime collaborator Diplo, the release is designed as a fast and hyper-shareable preview of her boldest chapter yet. The release is a manifesto drop from a multi-platinum hitmaker who’s spent a decade shaping pop’s sound, and is now determined to do it entirely on her own terms.
4. Central Cee – “ICEMAN FREESTYLE”
On “ICEMAN FREESTYLE,” Central Cee finally unleashes the cut fans first caught on Drake’s livestream, turning months of anticipation into a cold-blooded victory lap. Over an orchestral, Peaky Blinders styled visual backdrop shot at London’s Mildmay Club, the video threads a visual link back to his Drake collab “Which One?,” reinforcing the continuity in his recent run. “ICEMAN FREESTYLE” lands as a sharp statement that Central Cee is nowhere near done.
5. Ella Langley – “Be Her”
“Be Her” is Ella Langley at her most reflective, a country anthem about closing the gap between who you are and the steadier, truer version of yourself you’re still growing into. Co-written with HARDY, Smith Ahnquist, and Jordan Schmidt, the song sketches a woman who needs no validation, chasing realness over drama and balance over chaos. Arriving ahead of her album Dandelion and a fully sold-out arena tour, “Be Her” underlines why she’s fast becoming one of country’s defining new voices.
