We’re back on our compilations! Music makes the world go round. And in that regard, we’re constantly on the lookout for new, exciting tunes to share with our audience. We’ve found some that cause goosebumps, and make you open your eyes and get up from your chair to dance. So put on your best pair of headphones, or turn up your speakers, and enjoy this week’s New Music Friday.
Here are our top picks for the best music we came across this week, in no particular order.
Nicky Romero, Deniz Koyu & Jaimes – Tomorrow Comes
Genre: Progressive House, Big Room
A collaboration of cosmic proportions is the one in charge of opening the 2024 season of New Music Fridays here at EDMT. Dance legends Nicky Romero and Deniz Koyu meet the powerful voice of Jaimes for a stunning composition.
‘Tomorrow Comes‘ is pure Progressive House bliss. You know Romero’s sound by now. Pair that melody with Koyu’s groove and you’ve got yourself a very interesting and uplifting piece. Honestly, it couldn’t be any other way with such masters at work.
FLOYD WEST22 – QUEEN OF HEARTS
Genre: Tech House
Coming your way from Eastside Long Beach is DJ and producer FLOYD WEST22, a talent who is rising fast like the foam on a badly poured beer. Unlike said beer, though, FLOYD’s rise is pretty tasty. Making beats with the heart of Tech House but the energy of harder-hitting genres, this one is one to watch closely.
‘QUEEN OF HEARTS‘ is FLOYD’s latest journey. Contrasting crowded segments with silence, and pairing dry percussion with tremolo’d vocals, you’d better be ready to try and digest the amount of groove this track contains. Quite the track if you ask us.
Emi Galvan & DJ Zombi – Train Affair
Genre: Organic House
Songuara, an Organic House record label which saw quite the jump in the charts throughout 2023, is kicking off 2024 with a proper bang. This time, two continents come together, for Emi Galvan & DJ Zombi joined forces for the Frequency Shift EP.
‘Train Affair‘ is side B of the EP, and to say it’s savoury would be a tremendous understatement. Hypnotic arpeggios, ever-evolving sounds, and spacial textures meet the crispiest percussion to achieve an overall state only properly crafted Organic House can lead you to.
Gigamesh – Holding On
Genre: Chicago House, Old-School House
Warning, you may be teleported all the way to the 1970s Disco era with this gem! Based in the City of Angels, Matt Masurka, known in the business as Gigamesh, has built quite the career for years now. Having worked on a variety of Billboard 100 singles plus an extensive discography, his creativity knows no bounds.
‘Holding On‘ instantly caught our eye, and our ear. It’s a track that proves old is gold, by using a plethora of vintage, Disco-inspired sounds over a Chicago House base. From funky guitar tapping to the most thematic vocal possible — raspy and everything —, you won’t want to pause the song once you’ve hit ‘Play’.
Daniel Kick – Hit Me Up
Genre: Future Garage
Daniel Kick is, for certain, a force to be reckoned with. With little following on socials yet an incredible sound quality, we’re certain 2024 will be his year. Born in Ukraine and currently residing in Poland, Kick usually delivers Bass House bangers. Not this time, though: he’s crafted something quite touching we wanted to share.
‘Hit Me Up‘ is not any ordinary song; it’s an ethereal, airy, futuristic walk in the park. Birds meet smooth leads, neverending chords will soothe your mind, and, to top it all, the drops are gentle but fast-paced, and remind us of a certain guy whose name ends with again…
Yannick Mueller – Not Enough
Genre: Organic House, Deep House
We called it before! If there’s something that characterises the essence of Yannick Mueller, is going against the current. Innovating is his strongest feature, and he makes sure to let that be known. Today, for instance, he’s not coming with a Melodic Techno piece like last time.
Coming in hot with a brand-new Organic House track, Mueller is exploring yet another dimension of sound through a hybrid product of the catchy percussion of said genre and the essence of Deep House, resulting in a warm, soft, yet dynamic tune. Lovely!
