Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Jamie xx & Erykah Badu, Anotr & More
The best new dance songs of the week from Jamie xx and Erykah Badu, Rebuke and Deadmau5, Anotr, Kaskade and Gryffin and Whipped Cream.
This week in dance music: Jim Barron and Chris Todd of Crazy P reflected on the band’s new album and recent loss of its frontwoman Danielle Moore, a new track from Marshmello and The Jonas Brothers debuted on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, Peggy Gou, John Summit, Solomun and more were announced as openers for the final four shows from Anyma at Sphere, Charli XCX remarked that she “wasn’t even on the Grammys’ radar” before her chart-smashing Brat, Shygirl was among our LGBTQ+ artists to watch in 2025, and after two years off, Dirtybird Campout announced that it’s returning in partnership with NorCal’s longstanding Northern Nights festival. Channeling the fashionable sound of his collaborator and fellow Illini John Summit, the venerable Kaskade partners up with California’s Gryffin and nu-comer vocalist Nu La for another uplifting melodic techno ballad. The “Cyberpunk 2077” videogame aesthetic impeccably complements the song’s homage to ’90s trance and techno, with its rolling bassline and gated synths — naturally, the video’s protagonist ends up in nightclub where “a transcendence occurs,” says a statement from Rebūke’s World of Era label.
