ASPEN Links With Dawty And Preston Harris On Bleed
ASPEN links with Dawty and Preston Harris on Bleed, a new Maison Sonics release featuring Emmy Adelle
ASPEN links with Dawty and Preston Harris on Bleed, a new Maison Sonics single featuring Emmy Adelle. Released on May 22, 2026, the track places ASPEN’s Miami-based electronic direction alongside a vocal-led format that sits close to Afro House and melodic dance music. With Emmy Adelle leading the topline, Bleed keeps the focus on the song itself first, using its rhythm and melody to support the vocal instead of turning the release into a drawn-out instrumental cut. The single also continues ASPEN’s connection with Maison Sonics, where the collaboration with Dawty and Preston Harris gives the release a stronger label context while keeping ASPEN’s sound at the front.
The Sound And Collaboration Behind Bleed
Bleed brings ASPEN, Dawty, and Preston Harris together on a new Maison Sonics single featuring Emmy Adelle, released on May 22, 2026. The release is listed as a one-song electronic single on Apple Music, while Beatport lists the original mix at 120 BPM, in G minor, with a runtime of 2:53. Those details place Bleed in a tight single format, with the track moving quickly through its vocal hook and dance structure instead of stretching into a longer club version. Emmy Adelle’s topline gives the song its main identity, while the production keeps the focus on a steady rhythm and melodic progression that fits the Afro House and vocal dance space around ASPEN’s current sound.
The wider context around Bleed gives the collaboration more weight beyond the release title alone. ASPEN is currently positioned as a Miami-based producer connected to Afro House, deep rhythms, and melodic electronic music, while Dawty and Preston Harris are also listed through the Maison Sonics artist roster. Shazam credits Dawty, Emmy Adelle, and Aspen Gitter in the production credits, with Preston Harris, Aspen Gitter, Emilai Adelle Garcia, Katherine Pudish, and Warren Ely Zavala included in the composition credits. That credit split helps explain why Bleed reads as a full collaboration between the artists involved, with Maison Sonics giving the release a label setting that connects naturally to ASPEN, Dawty, and Preston Harris.
Where Bleed Fits In ASPEN’s Artist Direction
ASPEN’s current profile places him between Afro House, deep electronic rhythms, and melodic dance music, with his Miami base giving that sound a strong club connection without making Bleed feel limited to one scene. The single works because it does not try to overstate that direction. It keeps the structure direct, the vocal easy to follow, and the production close enough to dance music for the rhythm to remain central. That makes Bleed a more accessible entry point for listeners discovering ASPEN, especially compared with a longer club mix or a release built only around instrumental progression.
The stronger part of Bleed is how it shows ASPEN’s sound through placement and detail, not through a long artist description. The 120 BPM tempo, G minor key, and 2:53 runtime give the track a concise frame, while Emmy Adelle’s vocal keeps the emotional side of the record tied to an actual hook. Within that format, Dawty and Preston Harris help connect the release back to Maison Sonics, but the track still works as a continuation of ASPEN’s own direction: melodic, rhythm-based, and vocal-aware without turning too pop or too minimal. For ASPEN, Bleed adds a release that can speak to listeners coming from Afro House, melodic house, or vocal electronic music, which makes it a practical next step in how his sound is being introduced beyond his existing club background.
Listen To Bleed From ASPEN, Dawty, Preston Harris, And Emmy Adelle
With Bleed now out through Maison Sonics, ASPEN adds a new release to his growing catalog alongside Dawty, Preston Harris, and Emmy Adelle. The single keeps the writing easy to follow, with Emmy Adelle’s vocal leading the hook while the production stays close to Afro House and melodic dance music. It gives listeners a direct way into ASPEN’s current sound, especially for those coming from vocal electronic music, deeper rhythms, and releases connected to the Maison Sonics catalog.
For ASPEN, Bleed also works as a practical next step after the artist profile he has been building around Miami, international club experience, and melodic electronic production. The release does not need to be over-described to make its point: it is a concise vocal dance single with a clear label connection, a visible set of collaborators, and enough Afro House influence to match the direction already linked to his name. Bleed is available now through Maison Sonics.
Mazay and HIGH’S COOL release ‘Weekend’ via Fankee, a euphoric house and french touch single channelling the carefree energy of early 2000s club culture.
Community-driven label Fankee is proud to announce the release of “Weekend”, the new collaborative single by Mazay and HIGH’S COOL.
Born spontaneously during a phone call between Mazay and Federico “Fede” Secondomè of HIGH’S COOL, “Weekend” captures the chemistry of two artistic worlds reconnecting after years of shared creative evolution. The result is a track that channels the carefree instinct and euphoric energy of the early 2000s while sounding unmistakably contemporary.
Built around infectious house grooves, french touch textures and retro-inspired brit-pop vocal melodies, “Weekend” is designed as a soundtrack for collective escape, a song that transforms every weekend into a ritual of freedom, movement and connection.
Mazay, DJ and producer with a strong electronic identity, first emerged internationally as one half of the iconic duo Pink Is Punk, a project that helped define a generation of EDM and electro club culture. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with influential artists and producers including Drillionaire and Benny Benassi, contributing to multiple platinum-certified productions.
Alongside his studio work, Mazay has performed special DJ sets for AC Milan at San Siro, shared stages with Jovanotti during the Jova Beach Party and continues to tour Italy’s leading clubs with a sound that blends house, tech house and high-energy club sensibility. At the same time, he maintains deep roots in the underground electronic scene, with productions regularly supported by internationally respected DJs across the global club circuit.
HIGH’S COOL is an Italian electronic duo formed by Federico Secondomè and Keith Rich, combining early-2000s french touch energy with psychedelic pop influences reminiscent of Tame Impala, the glossy electronic aesthetic of Empire Of The Sun and the brit-pop attitude of Pulp. In a short time, the project has evolved into a wider creative movement spanning music, fashion and nightlife culture.
As producers, Secondomè and Keith Rich have also contributed to major international releases, including VULTURES 1 and VULTURES 2 by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign. Their artistic identity merges playful irreverence, refined sound design and a vivid visual language, positioning HIGH’S COOL among the most compelling emerging acts within Italy’s independent music landscape.
The release also reflects the vision behind Fankee, the revolutionary community-driven label redefining the relationship between artists and audiences. In an era dominated by algorithms, fleeting virality and platform gatekeepers, Fankee gives power back to fans, transforming them from passive listeners into active collaborators in an artist’s growth.
Through its innovative model, fans become instrumental in discovering artists, promoting releases, activating communities and helping shape cultural momentum. Meanwhile, artists retain their independence while gaining access to a collaborative ecosystem built around community participation, shared growth and direct engagement.
With “Weekend”, Mazay, HIGH’S COOL and Fankee come together to deliver more than just a single: they introduce a shared experience rooted in nostalgia, dancefloor culture and the collective energy of modern independent music.
New EDM Friday June 12 brings new music from Kaskade, BUNT., HUGEL, DJ Snake, R3HAB, and more.
New EDM Friday June 12 brings together new singles, remixes, and EP releases covering melodic house, bass music, trap, tech house, and crossover electronic music. From Kaskade and BUNT. with Comes Back Around to HUGEL, Big Sean, and Scott Storch with Body Drop, ISOxo getting a DJ Snake remix on FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP, and Rova releasing the Undisputed EP, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Kaskade & BUNT. – Comes Back Around
Kaskade and BUNT. release Comes Back Around, a collaboration first played live during Kaskade’s solo return to Coachella earlier this year. The single continues Kaskade’s ORIGIN // era, following Meet Again with Natalie Jane and Layton Giordani, the official EDC Las Vegas 2026 anthem, and lands during a busy run that includes Electric Forest, X Games Sacramento, Beyond Wonderland at The Gorge, Tokyo, Las Vegas, and more. For BUNT., Comes Back Around adds to a breakout stretch that has already included Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, a Wynn Las Vegas residency, and recent official remix work for Taylor Swift and Zedd. With Kaskade coming off one of his biggest creative resets and BUNT. entering 2026 as one of dance music’s fastest-rising names, Comes Back Around gives this week’s New EDM Friday a collaboration that connects Kaskade’s ORIGIN // chapter with BUNT.’s current rise.
HUGEL, Big Sean & Scott Storch – Body Drop
HUGEL continues the rollout of his debut album Twenty One with Body Drop, a collaboration with Big Sean and Scott Storch that brings the project further into dance and hip-hop crossover territory. The single follows Movin’ To The Sun with Ultra Naté and Imael Angel, along with Ron Y Coco featuring Flagrant Drvms and Barbara Doza, building on an album rollout rooted in house music, Afro, Latin, and crossover influences. For HUGEL, Body Drop arrives after his Coachella debut, the launch of his Make The Girls Dance residency at Hï Ibiza, and a 2025 run that passed 1 billion annual streams. With Big Sean on the vocal side and Scott Storch bringing his long production history across hip-hop and pop, Body Drop gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its strongest dance and rap collaborations.
ISOxo – FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP (DJ Snake Remix)
DJ Snake puts his own spin on ISOxo’s FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP, with the remix marking the first release from ISOxo’s upcoming remix EP. The hard dance and bass-heavy version had already been circulating through DJ Snake’s recent festival sets, including Ultra Music Festival Miami, EDC Las Vegas, and his Coachella back-to-back with Knock2, where ISOxo also made a special appearance. Built around distorted basslines and the vocal drop at the center of the original, the remix pushes the record further into festival and hard dance territory. With DJ Snake bringing it into some of the year’s biggest stages and ISOxo continuing his rise through bass music, trap, and the wider electronic scene, FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP (DJ Snake Remix) gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its heaviest releases.
Rova – Undisputed EP
New Zealand drum & bass producer Rova releases his six-track Undisputed EP, a boxing-inspired project that follows support from BBC Radio 1, UKF, George FM, and major names across bass music. The EP opens with previously released tracks OCTANE, SEE U WORK, and LOW DOWN with A Little Sound, before moving into newer cuts like THINK I AM, ONETWENTYFIVE, and ENDOFTIME. Across the project, Rova uses each track like a different round, moving between hard-hitting drum & bass, hip-hop influence, UK rap vocals, and a more emotional closing moment. With upcoming dates at Drumsheds, Creamfields, and Worship Festival, plus past support from Chase & Status, K Motionz, and Sub Focus, Undisputed gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its strongest drum & bass releases.
R3HAB x Izzy Bizu – If I could stop time…
R3HAB links with Izzy Bizu on If I could stop time…, a new collaboration that brings his dance-pop production together with Izzy Bizu’s soulful vocal style. The single also appears on R3HAB’s upcoming album Dream inside a dream…, placing it within a wider project rollout from the Dutch-Moroccan producer. For Izzy Bizu, the release follows her continued presence in dance music after collaborations including All Night Long with Kungs and David Guetta. The pairing makes sense for a record that connects electronic production with vocal-led pop songwriting, giving it more of a crossover direction than a club-focused one. With R3HAB focusing on melody and Izzy Bizu carrying the emotional side of the song, If I could stop time… gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its softer crossover moments.
4B – What Is This
4B makes his Deadbeats debut with What Is This, a new single that brings his Jersey Club roots into heavier dubstep territory. The record keeps the sharp drum patterns and club switch-ups tied to 4B’s sound, while adding heavier basslines and a monologue-style breakdown about growth and adaptation. Its release also marks a full-circle moment for 4B, who said he has been a fan of Deadbeats since playing with Zeds Dead during the early Mad Decent days. After more than a decade of support from names like Skrillex, Diplo, Tiësto, Steve Aoki, and RL Grime, What Is This gives this week’s New EDM Friday a harder bass release from an artist still pushing his sound without losing the Jersey Club foundation that started it.
ONHELL & Horsey – I Love the Way It Feels
ONHELL releases I Love the Way It Feels featuring Horsey, bringing together heavy bass music, melodic wave influences, and pop-leaning songwriting. The single reflects the community-first approach behind ONHELL’s work, where music, parties, and touring are tied to connection, self-expression, and inclusive dancefloor spaces. His recent tour also pushed that further, with every stop run as a fundraiser and 100% of proceeds going to local nonprofit organizations in each city. With Horsey’s vocals worked into the center of the record and ONHELL using the release as part of the sound behind his wider album direction, I Love the Way It Feels gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its more personal bass releases.
EAZYBAKED x Richard Finger – EAZY MF FINGER
EAZYBAKED and Richard Finger release EAZY MF FINGER, a long-awaited bass collaboration that has been circulating through live sets, online clips, and fan demand for more than a year. The track arrives exclusively on SoundCloud, keeping it close to the platform culture that helped both projects build their communities through unreleased IDs, direct fan engagement, and bass music discovery outside a traditional DSP rollout. For EAZYBAKED, the release comes during a strong touring run that includes Bonnaroo, Shambhala, Bass Canyon, Apocalypse Festival, Camp Alderwild, and their recent EDC Las Vegas debut. For Richard Finger, it marks the project’s first official collaboration, following major underground attention, support for Tape B at Red Rocks, and two sold-out nights at Denver’s Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom. With both acts playing Bonnaroo this month and EAZYBAKED scheduled directly after Richard Finger, EAZY MF FINGER gives this week’s New EDM Friday a bass release built from real fan demand, live-set history, and SoundCloud-first culture.
