New EDM Friday Aug 7 brings new music from Hardwell & W&W, MEDUZA, Kevin de Vries, Max Styler and more.

New EDM Friday August 7 brings together new singles, EPs, and album previews covering big room, techno, bass house, melodic house, and electronic pop. From Hardwell and W&W with Turn Up The Bass to MEDUZA and Kevin de Vries with 7 Days, Eli Brown with It’s Like That, Max Styler with I Don’t Think I Can Stop, Skilah with Dance MF, and Jazzy with My People, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.

Hardwell & W&W – Turn Up The Bass

Hardwell and W&W reunite for Turn Up The Bass, bringing together two of the most recognisable names in big room and electro house. The collaboration lands as both acts continue strong runs of live appearances across the summer festival circuit, and the track does exactly what the title suggests, delivering the high-energy floor-focused sound that defined the peak era both artists helped build. Turn Up The Bass opens New EDM Friday August 7 with one of the week’s most direct dancefloor statements.

MEDUZA & Kevin de Vries – 7 Days

MEDUZA and Kevin de Vries join forces for 7 Days, pairing one of melodic house’s most consistent production outfits with one of the genre’s most in-demand selectors and artists. Kevin de Vries has spent the past few years building a reputation across the bigger stages of the melodic and progressive world, while MEDUZA continue to operate across club and festival settings with equal footing. 7 Days brings both together for one of this week’s most polished house releases on New EDM Friday August 7.

Eli Brown – It’s Like That

Eli Brown returns with It’s Like That, the second single from his debut album Panic Attack, due August 7 via Insomniac Records. Built around a defiant vocal refrain, rumbling basslines, acid-fuelled synths, and rave sirens, the track captures the escapism and collective energy of rave culture with a gritty edge rooted in his Bristol upbringing. It follows Electrify and pushes further into the raw, uncompromising sound that runs through Panic Attack. Brown has performed at EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, Ultra, Coachella, Awakenings, and Creamfields, and heads into the rest of 2026 with his largest headline show to date in Los Angeles on November 14. It’s Like That is one of this week’s strongest techno entries on New EDM Friday August 7.

Max Styler – I Don’t Think I Can Stop (EP)

Max Styler releases his six-track EP I Don’t Think I Can Stop through his own imprint Nu Moda, arriving on the heels of his Lollapalooza performance. Built to replicate the arc of his open-to-close live sets, the project moves between blaring sub-bass, handcrafted beats, and hooky guest vocals across tracks including the bass-heavy Uh-Oh!, the crowd-facing Body Shake, and the kaleidoscopic Templo Disko. Styler describes the EP as reflecting the pacing and sonic identity of his live sets, a departure from the more immediate impact of his singles. The release also comes alongside the official video for disco-tinged track Love Forever featuring Kuuda, and coincides with his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix hosted by Pete Tong. I Don’t Think I Can Stop adds one of this week’s most complete EP releases to New EDM Friday August 7.#

Skilah – Dance MF

Skilah releases Dance MF via Breakaway, continuing a breakthrough year for the 23-year-old DJ and producer. Known for her dark, bass-heavy sound and use of her own vocals, she has built a distinct identity in the electronic space alongside a rapidly growing audience of over 3 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. Her live footprint has expanded steadily through appearances at Coachella, Breakaway Music Festival, Foam Wonderland, Ubbi Dubbi, and additional dates across the US and Canada. Dance MF pushes her sound further forward as one of the more exciting emerging voices in New EDM Friday August 7.

Jazzy – My People

Jazzy follows her bass house collaboration Invisible with Chris Lorenzo with My People, released via Chaos Records. Written alongside Mark Ralph, Theo Hutchcraft, and Guillaume Alric of The Blaze, the track is a personal tribute to her hometown of Dublin, weaving euphoric house energy with late-night pop and direct storytelling. It arrives ahead of her debut album Peace and Patience, due October 23, and a headline tour that culminates at Dublin’s 3Arena with a capacity of 13,000. This summer she also joins Calvin Harris as main support across a run of stadium shows in Glasgow, Dublin, Belfast, and Ibiza. My People closes New EDM Friday August 7 with one of the week’s most personal and well-positioned releases.

The Defining Voice of Electronic Music: John Martin and the songs that made him one of the genre’s most important vocalists

Tomorrowland has once again brought together some of the world’s biggest DJs, with iconic electronic music songs played across both weekends. While those tracks come from different artists and different eras, many are connected by the voice and songwriting of John Martin. From Don’t You Worry Child to Reload, John Martin has become one of electronic music’s most recognisable vocalists and a key figure behind some of the genre’s biggest songs.

The Voice Behind Electronic Music’s Biggest Songs

Tomorrowland saw Martin take to the stage several times to perform old, new, and upcoming projects. His performances were a reminder of how powerful of a voice he has and also of how important he has been to electronic music. His roots in the scene can be tracked 15 years back to 2011 where he showed both his skills with vocals and writing. Though he didn’t sing on the track Martin co-wrote Fade Into Darkness alongside Avicii and Michel Zitron. 2011 also saw him link up with Swedish House Mafia for the first time to provide vocals for their timeless track Save The World. However, it was the following year where he became an instant icon as he once again worked with SHM on the forever timeless Don’t You Worry Child.

The part he played in making this track one of the greatest pieces of music of all time cannot be understated. His voice is simply irreplaceable and has got crowds around the world to sing their hearts out every time they hear Don’t You Worry Child. He also wrote the song so not only would the song not be what it is without him, it wouldn’t have existed without him. But his work on iconic tracks didn’t end there with him soon after working with Sebastian Ingrosso and Tommy Trash for the legendary festival anthem Reload. Over the years the hits have kept on coming especially alongside Martin Garrix who has been a regular collaborator of his. John Martin provided vocals for tracks like Now That I’ve Found You, Higher Ground, and Won’t Let You Go as well as writing Carry You, Hold On, and Home. The list of artists he’s worked with is mind boggling with names like David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Gryffin, Afrojack, and Alesso to name just a few.

From Rock Music to a 15-Year Electronic Music Career

Something that’s truly amazing about John Martin is how quickly he burst onto the electronic music scene and his longevity within it. Before getting into electronic music Martin took interest and inspiration from the worlds of grunge and British rock and was part of the band Steroids. It wasn’t till 2010 that he discovered electronic music and started writing it alongside his close friend Michel Zitron. Within a matter of months he was working with some of the biggest EDM artists in the world and performing on some of the biggest stages. Over the last 15 years his stature has persistently grown as he continues to work with more and more big names. Tomorrowland saw him perform some upcoming projects with ARTBAT and Timmy Trumpet who now join the illustrious list of his collaborators.

There are very few vocalists who have become so synonymous with electronic music as John Martin has. Once you see his name on any record you know you’re in for an astonishing performance, beautiful melodies, and a wave of emotions. He has been the defining voice of over a decade of the greatest pieces of electronic music. Legend is a word that can be thrown out lightly sometimes, but John Martin is someone who absolutely deserves that title.
