5 Tracks You Won’t Believe Were Released 8 Years Ago!

Avicii – Hey Brother
Featured as the third single in his very first album ‘True’, ‘Hey Brother’ by Avicii was an iconic single. Written by Avicii, Ash Pournouri, Salem Al Fakir, Vincent Pontare, and Veronica Maggio, ‘Hey Brother’ hit the charts within days of its release, reaching #1 in Austria, Belgium. Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK. This track celebrates its birthday on the 9th of October.
Calvin Harris & Alesso – Under Control
Two iconic electronic dance music artists in their prime came together for what some may say is the best track of 2013. Swedish sensation Alesso combined with Scottish artist Calvin Harris in the studio for this the first time to deliver the progressive gem ‘Under Control’. Gaining over 500 million streams since its release, this anthem proved to be a huge success for both artists. This collab was released on the 7th of October.
Hardwell & MAKJ – Countdown
After releasing his firing edit of Blasterjaxx‘s ‘Fifteen’, Dutch phenomenon Hardwell quickly turned around an exhilarating new original in collaboration with the Los Angeles-based rising star, MAKJ. Ever since ‘Countdown’ was dropped during his critically acclaimed set at Ultra Music Festival 2013, Hardwell had established the song as a peak-time secret weapon in his performances all summer, thus becoming one of his most highly anticipated tracks. This banger celebrates its anniversary on the 7th of October.
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs Sander van Doorn – Project T (Martin Garrix Remix)
Beatport chart-topper ‘Project T’ by Belgian/Dutch industry stalwarts Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Sander van Doorn got the Martin Garrix makeover and the result was nothing short of stellar. Leaving the original melody largely intact, Martin pulled out all the stops for the massive drop and in turn became a main stage crowd-pleaser all the way. This remix celebrates its birthday on the 14th of October.
Lana Del Rey vs Cedric Gervais – Young & Beautiful
Cedric Gervais did it again. He remixed the wonderful ‘Young & Beautiful’ just like he did with Lana del Rey‘s hit ‘Summertime Sadness’ – which dominated the Beatport chart for weeks. This time around he created a huge progressive production centered around those heavenly Lana del Rey vocals. This remix hit the top of the charts once again. This remix was released on the 11th of October.

Martin Garrix Confirms His Second Album Is Coming in 2026

Martin Garrix has officially confirmed that his second album is in progress and expected to arrive in early 2026.
Martin Garrix made the announcement during a live segment on Fun Radio, where he explained that the majority of the material is already finished. What remains is the last round of refinement, which he described as the most time-consuming part. His goal is to have everything wrapped up by November.
This will be his first full-length record since Sentio, which was released in 2022. That album brought together several collaborations and included songs he had already tested out during festival sets. Since then, Garrix has been focused on releasing one-off singles and smaller projects. His recent output, including the IDEM EP and songs like “Breakaway” and “Weightless,” has shown a shift in tone. Some of the newer material leans more experimental, while still keeping a strong connection to the sound that shaped his earlier career. Martin Garrix’s evolution in these projects is quite intriguing.
Tomorrowland Will Preview What Comes Next
Martin Garrix also shared that he has completed a brand-new club-oriented song that will be premiered during his Tomorrowland set this summer. He described the production as more aggressive than usual, suggesting that the upcoming album may explore a heavier direction than his previous body of work. Given his history of using major festivals as a platform to debut unreleased material, Tomorrowland is likely the first place fans will get a sense of how the album sounds, echoing Martin Garrix’s pioneering approach to live performances.

While no details were given about featured artists or the final lineup of songs, this new approach to performance and pacing hints that the album may not follow the structure of Sentio, which leaned heavily on vocal collaborations. Instead, it seems like Martin Garrix is exploring a format that reflects the kind of music he builds specifically for his live sets, demonstrating Martin Garrix’s intent to innovate.
A Different Kind of Album Rollout
Unlike his first album, which was promoted over several months with visuals and teasers tied to each single, this next phase feels more grounded in the moment. Rather than building an extended campaign around each individual release, Garrix appears focused on finishing the record as a whole and presenting it when it’s ready. The fact that he is premiering new material live rather than on streaming platforms shows that this process is being driven by instinct and audience feedback, not just marketing cycles, showcasing the practical and instinctive side of Martin Garrix.
With his timeline now set, fans can expect a gradual rollout beginning later this year. If the new club piece receives strong reactions at Tomorrowland, it may end up as one of the album’s lead singles. Either way, 2026 looks set to mark Martin Garrix’s return to full-length format, something his listeners have been anticipating since his last studio release, furthering Martin Garrix’s reputation for excellence.
