New EDM Friday: Hardwell, Alesso, Tiesto, The Chainsmokers & More

Hardwell, Blasterjaxx & Maddix – 16
Big room techno reaches its pinnacle as three of the foremost torch-carriers for the sound join up and produce a killer mainstage anthem in ‘16’ just in time for festival season. In a full circle moment for the big room techno sound, Hardwell, Blasterjaxx, and Maddix work together on ‘16’, a beautifully melodic yet industrial sounding mainstage techno cut, completed by shimmering synth lines and a droning looped vocal sample. ‘16’ feels like a seminal hit in the ever-changing and steadily bubbling big room techno scene.

Tiësto & MOGUAI – Explode
For what some are saying was the set of the weekend at Ultra Music Festival, Tiësto brought out MOGUAI to play their brand new single together called ‘Explode’. Right from the start the crowd was hooked and you could tell this mainstage banger was going to be an epic one and now it’s out for the world to enjoy.

Alesso – Zig Zag
Alesso opens up his 2024 catalog with the release of ‘Zig Zag’ via Capitol Records. The infectious track shows off his signature progressive house sound and is primed to become an adrenaline-packed club anthem this year. Last weekend, Alesso played ‘Zig Zag’ to a massive sea of ravers at Insomniac’s Beyond Wonderland festival and is now available for the world to enjoy.

The Chainsmokers, Zerb, Ink – Addicted
After taking the world by storm with the viral hit ‘Mwaki’, Zerb follows it up with a tremendous collab titled ‘Addicted’. Made with hit makers The Chainsmokers and Ink, this team up was only going to deliver one thing and that is a bonafide smash hit.
