#NMF Dance: Our Picks For The Week
NMF Dance brings new music from MESSIE, Juni, Fatima Hajji, Jade Sierra, and more!
1. Odd Mob & OMNOM: HYPERBEAM – “Take You There”
Odd Mob, OMNOM, and HYPERBEAM return to Insomniac Records with “Take You There,” a dark tech house single built around a textured, otherworldly groove. Established by gritty basslines, punchy drums, guttural low-end pulses, and an echoing vocal hook, the track feels both cosmic and club-focused. Excitingly, the release also arrives as they gear up for HYPERBEAM sets at HARD Summer Music Festival and Outside Lands.
2. MESSIE & Juni – “B2B” (feat. sbk)
MESSIE and Juni make their HARD Recs debut with “B2B,” a fierce bass single featuring sbk. Powered by Jersey club rhythm, UK garage bite, and razor-sharp syncopation, the track moves with hostile, sweat-heavy force. Against murky atmospheres, gunshot samples, rattling fills, and buzzing dissonance, sbk’s raw grime verses push “B2B” into a tense, aggressive night club weapon.
3. Fatima Hajji – “I’m Feeling”
Fatima Hajji makes her Mutate Records hot debut with “I’m Feeling,” a high-pressure hard techno single built on a driving schranz framework. Fueled by frantic drums, thunderous kicks, white-noise washes, and earsplitting screeches, the track moves with warehouse-rattling force. Its looped vocal hook adds a disorienting, mind-altering pull, making “I’m Feeling” a fierce peak-time weapon ahead of Hajji’s packed summer tour.
4. Jade Sierra – “back2u”
Jade Sierra comes back to NIGHTMODE with “Back2u,” a raw, deep, and hypnotic trance single about an unbreakable connection across time and space. Wrapped in ethereal hooks, wistful piano keys, and fuzzy atmospherics, the single carries a dreamy sense of nostalgia and yearning. As pulsing proggy leads, tight drums, and sharp low-end stabs unfold, “Back2u” becomes both emotional and club-ready.
5. Monic, Vlade, Ahimsa – “Set Me Free”
Monic, Vlade, and Ahimsa make their Lost In Dreams debut with “Set Me Free,” a vocal-driven progressive house track full of longing and release. Led by Ahimsa’s velvety topline, the track captures the ache of wanting an ex to return while trying to move through the emptiness. From fluttering textures, sweeping strings, and poignant piano, “Set Me Free” builds into soaring progressive drops packed with classic EDM emotion and mainstage euphoria.

#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week
New music from 2hollis, Sam Smith, and more on New Music Friday.
1. 2hollis – “Hurt”
2hollis returns with “Hurt,” a bold new single that pushes his shape-shifting sound into sharper territory. Driven by piercing screams, kinetic drums, and a restless rush of motion, the single creates the illusion of adrenaline rising with every hit. Alongside the release, its self-directed music video further expands the striking visual language around 2hollis’ evolving creative world.
2. Natanael Cano, Gabito Ballesteros, Adriel Favela – “Pa La Maña”
Natanael Cano teamed up with Gabito Ballesteros and Adriel Favela on his hard-hitting new single, “Pa’ La Maña.” It keeps Natanael Cano’s corrido tumbado in motion. Following “Aprevenido,” the single continues Cano’s renewed focus on loyalty, triumph, and Norteño storytelling. Built around powerful guitars and a driving tuba line that honors his Sonoran roots, “Pa’ La Maña” captures swagger, survival, and the luxury that follows a life built from the ground up.
3. Improvement Movement – “Common Place”
Improvement Movement shares “Common Place,” a richly layered single from their forthcoming album Your Perfect Real Life. Based on intricate vocal rounds, shifting arrangements, and a slow-growing undercurrent of noise, the single mourns the loss of third spaces and the communities that once filled them. As the song moves from quiet reflection into a thrilling crescendo, “Common Place” turns modern disconnection into something textured, uneasy, and deeply human.
4. MARAH- “LULA”
MARAH releases “LULA” featuring Jessy Covets, the fearless title track from her second EP LULA, her first full project on Deadbeats. Blending emotional lyrics with gritty bass, trap pressure, and festival-scale production, the title track captures the confidence and resilience at the heart of the project. Undoubtedly, “LULA” feels like a statement of purpose, pushing through obstacles while proving MARAH’s place in bass music with power, intention, and underground edge.
5. Sam Smith – “Oh Mother”
Sam Smith premieres “Oh Mother,” featuring The TwoCity Chorus, an electrifying power anthem from their upcoming album Hazel Eyes, moving away from the slow-burning romance of “My Guy.” The track channels a fierce longing for maternal comfort amid betrayal. Fueled by thundering piano, fuzzed-out guitars, stomping percussion, and a feverish choir, “Oh Mother” transforms pain into a transcendent affirmation of strength, protection, and motherly love.
