EDM gifts await. Tune into this week’s New Music Friday Dance for some weekend bops.
1. Mau P: “The Less I Know The Better”
Dutch producer Mau P is back with a bass-heavy remix of Tame Impala’s hit song, “The Less I Know The Better.” A house percussion line quickens the pace of the original while still highlighting the iconic funk elements. Increased reverb on the vocals expands the soundscape, transforming the song into even more of a festival banger.
2. Anyma, Ellie Goulding, John Summit: “Hypnotized (feat. Ellie Goulding) – John Summit Remix”
John Summit adds his special flavor to Anyma and Ellie Goulding‘s track “Hypnotized” in a new remix. This track is light and bright, with increased focus on the mids and highs compared to the original. Summit also spotlights different hooks, showing his playful approach to tech-house and adding a youthful element to everything he touches.
3. MISS DRE, Dansyn: “Light The Fire”
Bay Area DJ MISS DRE returns with underground house artist Dansyn for “Light The Fire.” This atmospheric tech-house track contains layers of robotic temptation, from a mysterious vocal sample to a piercing bass synth. It is a balanced blend of warping tension and dance delights, satisfying dark club crawlers who enjoy an edge.
4. Sam Green, 5 A.M. Club, TAET: “Foolish (feat. TAET)”
Sam Green collaborates with 5 A.M. Club and vocalist TAET for his new track, “Foolish.” TAET’s smooth but distorted vocals open the track, leading into a quick drop. A lively, key-like sound riffs in a loop, adding a bubbly energy. This track captures a carefree essence, an easy pick for a casual day of dancing, shopping, or power cleaning.
5. CHANEY: “Fixed For Love”
UK-based CHANEY is back with a bang in “Fixed For Love.” The vocal sample comes from Keeley Smith and Frank Sinatra’s late ’50s collaboration, “How Are Ya’ Fixed For Love?” creating an upbeat fusion of old and new. The grandiose brass harmonies invoke unbridled joy and movement. A disco-house track like this instantly makes life feel exciting.
