Move those feet all night with New Music Friday Dance.

1. Dom Dolla, Daya, Anyma: “Dreamin (Anyma Remix)”

Dom Dolla re-released his single “Dreamin” featuring Daya as a remix from Anyma. Maintaining the original bumping bass, Anyma transforms the track into a techno dream with a dramatic yet hypnotic instrumental. The isolated vocals that lead into a deep drop are less prominent in this remix and are more intentional and impactful.

2. FISHER: “STAY”

FISHER gives into an early summer with “STAY.” The track begins expansive and atmospheric, setting up for a light and melodic instrumental, but it shortly dips into a thick house beat. Some groovy sounds join the symphony after the second drop, as the vocals continue sentimentally singing: “Stay with me, lay with me / Holding me loving me.”

3. FREAK ON: “Back on The Scene”

FREAK ON brings the party with “Back on The Scene.” Among the masterfully mixed percussion is a subtle bongo that ties together the tropical visualizer, adding nuance to the house beat. While there is a core vocal sample, the crown jewel of this track is the unique instrument choices and subtle high-end adlibs that may be harder to notice while dancing.

4. James Hype: “Don’t Wake Me Up”

House genius James Hype readily delivers euphoria with “Don’t Wake Me Up.” Inspired by Eurodance sounds, this track encourages an escape from reality, saying “If you see me dreaming, don’t wake me up.” Surrounded by warm, bright synths and an airy main vocal, who would want to wake up? The melody lingers in the mind, beckoning the listener after the song finishes.

5. Miss Monique: “Magnet”

Ukrainian DJ Miss Monique returns with “Magnet,” a dark and suspenseful techno track. A syncopated filtered key riff starts it off, adding rhythmic variety to the steady techno beat. This motif repeats at various points in between, dropping out for the last 30 seconds to let the mesmerizing bassline, panning adlibs, and resonant percussion shine.
