Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Haai, Sammy Virji & More
Simply the best new dance songs of the week from Haai, Anyma with Argy and Son of Son, Sammy Virji, DJ Minx and Alok and Kylie Minogue.
Charlotte de Witte, Sara Landry, Horsegiirl and many others were added to the Movement 2025 lineup; EDC Las Vegas announced the lineup for its May event; Winter Music Conference announced the first wave of speakers for its event next month in Miami; Empire of the Sun’s Luke Steele signed a global deal with Warner Chappell Music; Seven Lions signed with management company MLennial and Justice hit the Hot 100 for the first time in the duo’s decades-long career with its appearance on The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow opener “Wake Me Up.” Australia-born, London-based producer Haai returns with her first new music since 2023 via “Can’t Stand to Lose.” A reflection on the fast-paced DJ life and the desire to sometimes slow down, the song takes its time unfurling, creating a nuanced depth and mood evoking both solitude and a crowded club. After blasting through our earholes with 2024’s totally undeniable Interplanetary Criminal collab “Damager,” white-hot U.K. producer Sammy Virji returns with the mellower but equally compelling “I Guess We’re Not the Same.” Out on Astralwerks, the song’s bouncy, singsong vibe juxtaposes with kind of bittersweet lyrics, with the theme also reflected in the track’s undertow of a bassline.
