2025 is coming to an end but New EDM Friday is still packed with a massive set of releases from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Fred again.., Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman, and more, let’s get into it!

Armin van Buuren – Sonic Samba (Rising Star Remix)

The Trance king returns as Armin van Buuren treats his dedicated fans with the release of the Rising Star remix of his recent piano project, ‘Sonic Samba’. Rising Star is one of Armin‘s earliest, highly revered trance aliases, and this self-remix delivers on years of fan speculation. It takes the original’s beautiful melody and layers it with soaring pads, powerful synth leads, and a driving, uplifting rhythm, a genuine, high-quality return to his trance roots that is pure euphoria for the mainstage.

Fred again.. & Wallfacer — I Luv U

Fred again.. ends his 10 weeks of music and tour with ‘I Luv U’, a collaboration featuring Wallfacer. Following a string of genre-exploring releases, this track captures that raw and underground USB002 sound that Fred has been delivering for the past number of weeks, with techno energy on full show with this one.

ZHANGYE & Justin Jesso – Growing Up

Leading the charge for China’s rising electronic movement, producer ZHANGYE teams up with vocalist Justin Jesso (known for his work with Kygo and Seeb) for the cinematic single, ‘Growing Up’. Co-written and produced in LA, the track is an emotional masterpiece that pairs Jesso‘s compelling emotional storytelling with ZHANGYE’s cinematic production style. It explores themes of personal growth, finding clarity through life’s chaos, and marks another significant step in ZHANGYE‘s global push.

Martron – Feel It

LA-based producer, multi-instrumentalist, and classically trained musician Martron returns with the explosive, bass-driven single, ‘Feel It’. The track walks the line between heavy and heartfelt, showcasing a wide production palette that features gritty low-end, cinematic textures, hypnotic vocal chops, and hard-hitting drops. Martron shares the song is about “letting yourself feel and express the emotions inside of you,” delivering a club-ready track that is equal parts energy and emotional impact.

Truth x Lies – Turn the Volume Up

NYC-based duo Truth x Lies returns to their signature high-energy sound with the aptly titled ‘Turn the Volume Up’. The track is an undeniable tech-house groover built around pumping basslines, sharp percussive elements, and a dynamic vocal chop designed to command the dance floor. Already picked up by major radio shows, ‘Turn the Volume Up’ is a no-nonsense club weapon that provides a guaranteed rush of peak-time, infectious energy.

Yves V, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman ft. Nova Tropics – You & I

Belgian powerhouse Yves V partners with Swedish progressive house mainstays Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman for the colossal anthem, ‘You & I’, ft. Nova Tropics. This track is pure, untamed mainstage energy, built on a foundation of massive builds, shimmering progressive house chords, and a euphoric vocal hook.

A massive crowd at Les Plages Électroniques in Cannes, cheering in front of the main stage, showcasing the high-energy atmosphere of the French beach festival.

Les Plages Électroniques is France’s most iconic beach festival and now it unveils the first wave of artists set to perform at its landmark 20th anniversary edition next August in Cannes. Returning to the sands of the Côte d’Azur, the festival continues its legacy of blending world-class electronic talent with a uniquely Mediterranean atmosphere.

7 August 2026 will see Martin Garrix headline. He is one of the world’s most influential EDM superstars, known for global chart-topping hits and headline performances at the biggest festivals worldwide and will be joined by Nico Moreno,  a leading force in the new wave of industrial techno, recognised for his fast, hard-hitting sets that dominate underground stages across Europe. Mosimann is next and is the Swiss DJ, producer and vocalist celebrated for his hybrid live sets and genre-blending approach, merging house, pop and electronic performance.

8 August 2026 welcomes Multi-platinum producer and global dance icon Marshmello whose crossover hits have earned billions of streams and collaborations with the world’s biggest artists. Then comes Belgium’s Amelie Lens, one of techno’s most powerful modern figures, known for her hypnotic, high-energy sets and commanding presence on the world’s largest stages. Chart-topping French rapper PLK also brings his signature melodic flow and sharp lyricism to the Riviera while Vladimir Cauchemar is a producer and performer known for his flute-driven trap sound and visually striking aesthetic.

9 August 2026 sees DJ Snake present Pardon My French as the global superstar returns to the Croisette with his famed PMF collective, bringing high-energy bass, trap and dance music to close the festival.

This summer marks two decades since Les Plages Électroniques began as a small local gathering in 2006. Today, the festival welcomes more than 60,000 attendees from around the world and presents over 90 artists annually across six stages spanning the beach, rooftops, the Palais des Festivals and the open sea.

Set between the Bay of Cannes and the Croisette, the festival has become a defining symbol of summer in the South of France with an immersive experience from beach sunsets to late-night afterparties inside the Palais.

The 20th anniversary edition will celebrate the festival’s heritage while pushing forward with enhanced production, new stage concepts, special collaborations and commemorative moments honouring two decades of creativity and connection.

In August 2026, the Croisette will once again transform into one of Europe’s biggest dancefloors as the countdown begins for the festival’s most anticipated edition yet.
