Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Horsegiirl, Ahadadream & Nikki Nair & More
The best dance songs of the week from Horsegiirl, Ahadadream and Nikki Nair, Salute and Jessie Ware, Flight Facilities and Drama, The Acid and more.
This week in dance music: The 2025 festival forecast got clearer with lineup announcements from SXM Festival and CRSSD, Grimes requested help contacting Quentin Tarantino (“I just think having a conversation with him will make me better,” she said), we spoke with dance pioneer Jellybean Benitez, The Blessed Madonna shared her thoughts on the presidential election, Sega Bodega called out Lil Nas X for imitating his single art, Wynn Nightlife announced its first ever country/dance hybrid club show happening next month at XS and John Summit and his manager Holt Harmon spoke about touring and more at Billboard’s Live Music Summit in Los Angeles. A cool ten years after their excellent debut, Liminal, The Acid is back with a new single, “Breed.” The group — U.K. producer Adam Freeland, Los Angeles-based producer and polymath Steve Nalepa and producer/vocalist Ry X — extends the moody wavelength of its previous output, with the shadowy, downtempo “Breed” pulsing to life, then gaining size with waves of ominous synth and layers of percussion. U.K. star Ahadadream joins forces with Atlanta’s own Nikki Nair for the undeniable “Read My Mind.” The track takes its time winding up, building through a long, kind of rise before breaking open into stuttering, punchy and ultimately quite hypnotic bass house.
