#NMFDance: Our Picks for the Week

New Music Friday Dance is turning up the energy this weekend. Discover a new escape:

1. Bipolar Sunshine, NEZ, Kalman Mami: “Go Off – Kalman Mami Remix”

It’s hard techno heaven with Bipolar Sunshine, NEZ, and Kalman Mami‘s new single, “Go Off.” The minimalist, dark instrumental captivates the listener, inspiring both intrigue and an exciting, danceable level of fear. This one is for the true basement and warehouse ravers unafraid to get their hands and ears a little dirty. It’s sexy, intense and fun.

2. OddKidOut, 7KY: “WONDER”

OddKidOut and 7KY first-time collaborate with “WONDER.” Hyperpop continues to have its moment, and this track is a great addition. Just like the visualizer, the track invokes a dreamy, neon-pastel color scheme through choppy echoes and whistling keys. Each element is carefully placed in the soundscape, creating a stimulating symphony.

3. AVAO: “Don’t Stop”

AVAO bring the heat from the Netherlands with their latest single, “Don’t Stop.” There’s nothing like some good text-painting; the lyrics which say “NON STOP” and the fast-paced techno beat are equally unyielding and powerful. The energy is at its peak almost the entirety of the track, leaving the listener hanging as soon as it ends.

4. Matroda, Martin Ikin, Sian-Lee: “4U – Edu Campos Remix”

Matroda, Martin Ikin, Sian-Lee, and Edu Campos join forces for “4U.” This track is an innovative tech-house rework of Beyoncé’s “Crazy In Love,” echoed by an additional vocal sample that sings, “I’m crazy for you.” The playful percussion stands out the most, introducing various bass timbres and styles; like a musical potpourri.

5. Bart Skils, Konstantin Sibold: “Roll the Dice – Konstantin Sibold Remix”

Bart Skils and Konstantin Sibold create an immersive world of dance with “Roll the Dice.” This high-octane track is slightly mysterious with a distorted, looping vocal sample that keeps pace. It is like lasers in audio form with instruments coming in from all angles and directions. For those seeking 5 whole minutes of techno bliss, this is it.
