This week’s releases feel like an emotional reset, moving between healing pop, soulful heartbreak, cinematic instrumentals, and high-impact dance. Fresh from the afterglow of Lollapalooza and other festival moments, these tracks carry both crowd-ready energy and a softer need for release, turning chaos, longing, and late-summer motion into something cathartic.
#NMF Dance: Our Picks For The Week
NMF Dance brings new music from Eli Brown, Skilah, Max Styler, and more!
1. Crankdat & Wooli – “Fux With Us (ft. TiaCorine)”
Crankdat and Wooli bring WANKDAT into the studio for the first time with “Fux With Us,” a bone-rattling collaboration featuring TiaCorine. Built on their rivalry-meets-brotherhood chemistry, the track turns years of explosive stage energy into one relentless, high-octane release. With its repeated “FUCK” hook capturing a chaotic public mood, and TiaCorine adding her unpredictable rap force, “Fux With Us” hits like a raw bass weapon made for crowds ready to relax and lose control.
2. Eli Brown – “It’s Like That”
Eli Brown keeps his Panic Attack era moving with “It’s Like That,” an exploding techno weapon made of maximum club impact. Driven by rumbling bass lines, acid-soaked synths, relentless percussion, and piercing rave sirens, the single channels the raw release of rave culture with Bristol grit. Centered on the defiant “Fuck That Shit” refrain, “It’s Like That” turns underground tension into a peak-time explosion, following Brown’s Lollapalooza performance last week.
3. Skilah – “Dance MF”
Skilah comes back with a dark, bass-heavy single, “Dance MF.” Built around her own vocals, powerful production, and a live-ready structure, the track captures the direct energy that has shaped her rising electronic identity. As Skilah mentions, “Dance MF” feels made for the crowd reaction, flipping its second buildup into a heavy bass drop and turning Skilah’s high-energy sound into a sharp dancefloor moment.
4. Max Styler – “Love Forever”
Max Styler keeps his momentum high with “Love Forever,” featuring Kuuda. A disco-tinged anthem from his ambitious EP I Don’t Think I Can Stop. It successfully captures the energy behind Max’s sold-out shows and growing global rise. Fresh off a standout Lollapalooza set, Max turns soulful melody, U.K. dance influence, and high-octane club polish into a single that feels both stylish and built for movement. Indeed, “Love Forever” shows how he bridges underground credibility and mainstream appeal without losing his edge.
5. Galantis – “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”
Galantis reimagines Frankie Valli’s classic “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” into a chaotic, synth-charged standout from upcoming The Devil’s Tax Return. Looking back to the 1960s, Christian Karlsson takes the timeless chorus apart and rebuilds it through a freer, more explosive dance lens. The result gives classic romance a distinct cyberpunk glow, turning a familiar love song into a bold, unpredictable, and highly successful reinvention.

#NewMusicFriday: Our Picks for the Week
New music from Matt Hansen, Remi Wolf, Sam Smith, and more on New Music Friday.
1. Matt Hansen – “UNSPOKEN”
Matt Hansen returns with “UNSPOKEN,” a warm new single, which follows the brighter, more uplifting path of “THINKING BOUT ME.” (More details about this amazing single HERE ). Trading heartbreak for the quiet promise of love beginning to unfold, the track carries a hopeful glow that feels instantly comforting, like a cheeseburger when you are starving. The release arrives ahead of Hansen’s The Orchid Tour, with its North American leg kicking off November 13 in Montreal.
2. Lexi Jayde – “delusional”
Lexi Jayde shares “delusional,” the final preview of her debut album LOVER GIRL. Wrapped in shimmering guitars, feel-good production, and infectious hooks, the track hides heartbreak beneath a playful glow. Following the pull of wishful thinking and self-protection, “delusional” captures the comfort of believing in a version of love that may not yet be real. Sweet, sharp, and painfully relatable, it feels like an emotional dessert for a joyride.
3. Captains Of Entropy – “On Juno”
Captains Of Entropy return with “On Juno,” an instrumental track that feels like the opening scene of a quiet Los Angeles journey. Established on pensive cymbals, mesmerizing keyboard melodies, and an inquisitive bass line, the song carries a misty, cinematic calm, perfect for a summer morning commute on the 10. Alongside the release, the trio announces their upcoming EP Beatrice Comes Home, a more composed and narrative-driven project arriving September 18.
4. Remi Wolf – “Twiggy”
Remi Wolf makes her long-awaited comeback with “Twiggy,” her first new music in two years. Playful, immediate, and emotionally exposed, the track pairs her signature off-kilter imagery with one of the sharpest hooks of her career. Beneath the color and humor, “Twiggy” pulls the camera closer, turning messy attraction, emotional unavailability, and vulnerability into something unmistakably Remi. Alongside its video, the single opens a fresh chapter with more clarity, intimacy, and restless creative spark.
5. Sam Smith – “When He’s Gone”
Sam Smith releases “When He’s Gone,” a soulful third single from their upcoming album Hazel Eyes. Built on an acoustic groove that rises into a powerful crescendo, the track captures the fear of losing someone who feels like your whole world. Following the choir-driven intensity of “Oh Mother,” “When He’s Gone” reveals a more melancholy side of the album, as Sam’s intimate residency dates continue in Mexico and the UK in August and September.
