NMF Dance: Our Picks For The Week
Exciting dance drops from artists such as KSHMR, Getter, Aria, and more on NMF Dance.
1. Aria, RESCENE, Galantis – “Busy Boy (Galantis Remix)
Galantis flips RESCENE’s “Busy Boy” by leaning into the song’s nostalgic chord progression with glossy, big-room synths and precision-engineered drops. The remix amplifies the original’s K-pop sparkle into a full-blown global dance moment. It feels purpose-built for cross-border playlists and packed stages, while quietly doubling as a showcase for Aria’s next-gen, on-chain music IP experiment.
2. DJ Pauly D – “Feel It”
“Feel It” finds DJ Pauly D trading daytime party shine for a brooding, progressive bruiser designed to hit like a gut punch on massive systems. With a soaring, emotional vocal that stacks into a cinematic build that explodes right in the peak-time sweet spot. It’s a chest-thumping statement and a reminder that his live-show energy translates just as hard in the studio.
3. Claude VonStroke – “Static In The Deep End”
“Static In The Deep End” marks a reset for Claude VonStroke, dialing back from festival blowouts into the stripped, late-night minimalism that first cemented his legend. The track feels like an after-hours wormhole rather than a mainstage moment. It’s intimate, odd, and meticulously restrained, making it the perfect sound of a veteran producer happily getting experimental in dark, liminal spaces again.
4. Getter, SVDDEN DEATH – “Unorthodox”
On “Unorthodox,” Getter and SVDDEN DEATH go full swamp sorcery, swapping cheap shock tactics for slow-motion dread and suffocating low-end. It’s a punishing, ritualistic dubstep cut built less for TikTok clips and more for blowing the roof off cavernous rooms, and it cements Getter’s new era as his heaviest, most deliberate yet.
5. KSHMR, Jason Ross, Brieanna Grace – “Ultra Love”
“Ultra Love” is a widescreen trance-pop epic that captures the dizzy pull of a connection you can’t quite control, with Brieanna Grace’s vocal blooming from hushed intimacy into full-throttle catharsis. Underneath, KSHMR’s cinematic flourishes and Jason Ross’ melodic-bass instincts fuse into a surging, festival-sized arrangement. It’s a centerpiece-worthy anthem for Jason’s upcoming album cycle.

#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week
beabadoobee, Charlie Puth, Lykke Li, and more on this week’s New Music Friday!
1. Haute & Freddy – “Showgirl At Heart”
“Showgirl At Heart” sees the theatrical duo mastering a hook that feels born for the big stage. The video leans fully into its title, following a lead who wears chaos and charisma while the track struts between camp and confession. It’s a bold, cinematic introduction to Big Disgrace that makes their campy, maximalist world feel instantly lived-in.
2. Lykke Li – “Knife in the Heart”
“Knife in the Heart” is Lykke Li at her most devastatingly precise, turning one brutal image into an entire landscape of regret and romantic self-sabotage. Sparse, spectral production leaves room for her voice to hover just above silence. The track marks another entry in her canon of heartbreak hymns that somehow manage to feel both sharp and intimate.
3. Charlie Puth, Hikaru Utada – “Home”
“Home” pairs Charlie Puth’s melodic pop instincts with Hikaru Utada’s luminous, airy presence, making it a bilingual ballad that sounds as expansive as it is intimate. The production is classic Puth production while Utada’s performance adds a dreamy, weightless counterpoint. Together they turn the idea of “home” into something less geographic and more emotional, somewhere between a memory and a future you’re still hoping for.
4. Melanie C – “Undefeated Champion”
On “Undefeated Champion,” Melanie C leans into a stadium-scale empowerment anthem that bridges her pop legacy with a sleeker, modern production sheen. The track frames her vocal in full fighter mode, turning resilience into something you can sing along to. It lands like a mission statement for the new era and a natural launchpad for the world tour that follows.
5. beabadoobee, The Marías – “All I Did Was Dream Of You”
“All I Did Was Dream Of You” drifts like a shared daydream, braiding beabadoobee’s hazy, bedroom pop nostalgia with The Marías’ velvety, lounge-tinged ease. The collab sees the two indie pop pioneers create a floaty, late-night atmosphere where reality blurs at the edges. It feels effortless and cinematic much like the closing credits song to a romance that never quite made it out of your head.
