New EDM Friday: FISHER, Zedd, Chase & Status, David Guetta & More
FISHER & Flowdan – Boost Up
Dance music’s most energetic character, FISHER, teams up with rapper Flowdan for the biggest tech-house release this year. ‘Boost Up’ showcases Flowdan’s deep, resonant tone, dipping with a rhythmic cadence between FISHER’s choppy break-led house beat and synth bleeps. A turbocharged hit, in-demand live act Flowdan compares the energy the duo bring on stage to a souped-up engine – “Yeah we’ve got the energy, we juiced up – maximum boost up”.
Chase & Status, Stormzy – BACKBONE
Pioneering d&b duo Chase & Status have released their highly anticipated new single, ‘Backbone’ via Capitol Records, a collaboration with the inimitable British rap sensation, Stormzy. The track has been generating massive buzz online for weeks, following a surprise live performance from Stormzy at Chase & Status‘ electrifying Ushuaïa Ibiza takeover.
Shallou & Night Tales – I Just Wanted To Dance
Shallou, known for being a lead act in the “chill” electronic genre, has joined forces with rising electronic-live duo Night Tales on their brand-new single, ‘I Just Wanted To Dance’. Melting together sonic influences from the 70s with a feel-good, piano-driven bassline, this disco-house anthem invites its audience on an imaginative and exploratory adventure as both artists depart from their signature sound. It seamlessly weaves in airy vocals, vintage-sounding effects, and an irresistible hook that coerces listeners to immerse themselves in the moment.
Mojave Grey – Feel Alive
Mojave Grey continues to captivate the music world with the release of their second single, ‘Feel Alive’, from their eagerly anticipated debut album. This single epitomizes the essence of Mojave Grey‘s unique hybrid style, blending powerful vocals with invigorating electronic house production. The track is an audacious exploration of life’s exhilarating moments, capturing the mystique and magic of desert dance music. With a sound that is both expansive and intimately electrifying, ‘Feel Alive’ is poised to be a seminal track in their growing repertoire.
OLAN – Floating Worlds LP
OLAN, the innovative indie electronic live act and DJ created by songwriter and producer Luzana Flores, is thrilled to announce her sophomore album, ‘Floating Worlds’, via QRTR‘s .WAVCAVE label. This album marks a significant milestone in OLAN‘s career, showcasing her growth and versatility as an artist. ‘Floating Worlds’ features a collection of tracks that are entirely original productions by OLAN, reflecting her commitment to authenticity in her music-making process. The album includes singles like ‘Faster Than Sound’, ‘If You Need Me’, and ‘Warm To The Touch’, each encapsulating different facets of her personal and artistic evolution.
Repiet & Julia Beeldman – Way Out
Returning to Future House Music after his previous release in 2022, Repiet offers up ‘Way Out’ alongside Julia Beeldman. A wonderful vocal driven single which showcases the talents of both artists involved, this single brings both the energy and euphoria with a wonderful dose of future house.
David Guetta & Clean Bandit ft. Anne-Marie – Cry Baby
A major fan since the release of ‘Rather Be’, David Guetta links up with chart topping group Clean Bandit and Anne-Marie for the release of ‘Cry Baby’.

In the beating heart of Mexico City, something special is unfolding after dark. Casa de Afro is not your average dance music series. It is a warm, living connection between the ancient rhythms of Africa and the electric energy of modern club life. Founded by Dr. ADO and Bud Lee, this project brings people together through Afro House in a way that feels genuine, respectful, and full of soul.
The Visionaries Behind the Sound
Dr. ADO grew up in London with Ghanaian roots running deep in his veins. Yet it was his years spent fully immersed in South Africa’s vibrant scene that shaped him as an artist. He stood side by side with legends like Vanco, Culoe De Song, Major League DJz, Thakzin, and Cuebur, learning the true essence of Afro-Tech straight from the source. That real-world experience shines through in every track he touches. His song “Get Away” has already passed 1.6 million streams on Spotify, and his recent Anjunadeep Explorations releases with BokkieUlt, “Hold My Hand” and “Starlight,” have earned him serious respect in the global underground.
Bud Lee adds the perfect balance. Hailing from Philadelphia, this African-American artist carries more than ten years of music experience. He has poured his heart into Afro House lately, bringing a soulful, distinctly American warmth that completes the picture. When these two step into the booth together, the chemistry is effortless because it comes from shared love for the diaspora and the music that connects it all.
Taking the Sound Across the World
Mexico City is still the heart of Casa de Afro, but the duo is making sure the vibe reaches far beyond. Their recent event at Maison Close in London’s Mayfair showed just how naturally the sound travels. In one of the planet’s toughest music cities, they created an intimate, magnetic night that felt right at home for fans on both continents.

Two Nights You Need to Catch This Spring
The founders have never forgotten the local crowd that helped them grow. This spring they are giving back with two very special appearances in Mexico City.
On April 17, head to Symphonie for a true late-night journey. The session runs from 10 PM straight through until 5 AM. Expect deep, hypnotic Afro House grooves that wrap around you in one of the city’s most atmospheric clubs. Get your tickets through here.
Then on May 9, Casa de Afro joins forces with the global brand ¿PorquéNo? for their official Mexico City launch at the beautiful Faunna Rooftop. This is a proud milestone for the series, recognizing them as true pioneers of the sound in the region. Get your tickets through here.
Why It All Matters
Dr. ADO says it best: “We’ve worked hard to cultivate a community here that genuinely loves this music. To be able to bring that community along as we support global launches like ¿PorquéNo?, and to see the sound resonate in places like London, is a real honor for us. We’re just focused on keeping the quality high and staying true to the African roots, both by blood and by experience, that make this music what it is.”
That honest approach is what makes every Casa de Afro night feel like more than just a party. It feels like belonging.

After opening his label’s doors to fresh releases from UK producers James Hurr and Loz Seka, FLAMENCA Records boss STBAN returns to the imprint with his brand new single ‘Habibi’, out April 10th worldwide.
A scorching slice of percussive Afro-Latin House, ‘Habibi’ sees STBAN collaborate with two stars of the Spanish music scene – DJ and percussionist Javi Torres, and singer and DJ Alba Dreid. The result is a dance floor weapon that combines the heat and flavour of Arabesque vocals and instrumentation with thundering basslines and relentless rhythms.
Javi Torres is known across southern Europe and Latin America for his explosive Afrohouse and Latin Tech sets, performances enhanced by live percussion inside the mix. The Seville-based artist counts support from some of electronica’s biggest names, including Martin Garrix, Alok, Jamie Jones, Hugel, Aaron Sevilla, Roger Sanchez, Mëstiza, MichaelBM, Tom & Collins, Novak, Nicky Romero, Paco Osuna, Salvarote Ganacci and Sammy Porter. Known throughout Spain after winning the RTVE programme ‘La Bien Cantá’, Alba Dreid’s focus is set firmly on bringing Spanish folklore to a global audience, making her a perfect fit for STBAN’s ongoing mission to fuse traditional flamenco with electronic music through FLAMENCA Records’ growing discography.
Javi Torres, Alba Dreid, STBAN ‘Habibi’ is released April 10th on FLAMENCA Records via Toolroom Records.

April keeps moving and this week brings another round of new releases across the scene. From David Guetta, Afrojack, and Sia coming together to Anyma teaming up with Lisa, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Afrojack, David Guetta & Sia – Awake Tonight

Anyma x Lisa – Bad Angel
With his Coachella performances set for the same week, Anyma teams up with Lisa on ‘Bad Angel’, releasing the track just days before introducing his ÆDEN show on that stage.

Virtual Riot – Burning Out (Album)
After previewing several tracks across recent months, Virtual Riot releases his third studio album ‘Burning Out’, bringing the full project together following that rollout.

GoldFish – Little Wonder
Global electronic duo GoldFish return with ‘Little Wonder’, an uplifting new single featuring legendary South African vocalist Zolani Mahola, via their own label 33 Degrees.

HI-LO, Brennan Heart, Project Zeitgeist – Adagio For Strings
Taking on one of the most recognisable melodies in electronic music, HI-LO, Brennan Heart, and Project Zeitgeist revisit ‘Adagio For Strings’, bringing it into a heavier direction through their combined styles. The track has already been played in DJ sets ahead of its release, with the rework on New EDM Friday April 10 drawing from its trance legacy while pushing into a more driving version.
Sara Landry, Godtripper – Hekataia (EP)
Following their earlier release ‘Chaos Magicka’, Sara Landry and Godtripper return with ‘Hekataia’, a new EP out on her Hekate Records imprint. The project stays in line with the high-BPM, industrial techno direction she has been playing in recent sets, while also expanding the catalogue of her own label, making it a strong addition to New EDM Friday April 10.
The Chainsmokers ft. Oaks – Echo
