Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Major Lazer & M.I.A., Deadmau5, Qrion & More


The best new dance songs of the week from Major Lazer with M.I.A., Deadmau5, Qrion, Will Clarke, Bedouin and Los Frequencies.

This week in dance music: Illenium shared the genuinely tear-jerking backstory of his 2021 track “Brave Soul,” and while half the nation experienced another reason to cry, Moby offered some sage advice after election day. appears pregnant in the music video — in which she, Diplo and Switch drive up and down the Pacific Coast Highway in L.A. in a Tesla Cybertruck, uniting old sounds and old pals with a nod to an impending dystopic future in which pregnancy is a government mandate and transportation is provided by Emperor Elon. The song is out in conjunction with the 15-year anniversary of Major Lazer’s culture-shaking 2009 debut, Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do, a deluxe re-release of which is coming out next week (on Diplo’s Mad Decent, natch) with a collection of additional unreleased tracks and remixes.
