Must Read
New EDM Friday: Hardwell, David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Afrojack & More!
Oliver Tree & David Guetta – Here We Go Again
Fresh from releasing singles that would go on to dominate the radio waves towards the end of 2022, Oliver Tree and David Guetta unite to keep that momentum rolling. Coming together on ‘Here We Go Again’, the pair of artists bring us an infectious dance number that is yet another high-quality addition to their catalogs.
Hardwell & Quintino – Sloopkogel
Having already proved to be a match made in heaven with their previous collaborations ‘Reckless’ and ‘Scorpion’, Dutch mainstage acts Hardwell and Quintino come together once more to bring us another dose of hard hitting big room electro. ‘Sloopkogel’ contains pulsating synths, roating basses, and thumping kicks, all meshing together into one big rave-ready tune.
Afrojack presents: Kapuchon – Education
Bringing back his underground alias of Kapuchon in 2020, Afrojack continues to show another side of himself away from the mainstage and radio hits. This time with ‘Education’, the hit maker blends some of that dirty electro sound into a more underground vibe and it makes for an epic result.
Movorack – Talk Les$
Movorack doesn’t appear on our new music feed as frequently as we would like him to but when he does you know you are in for something special. Ready to make 2023 his biggest year yet, Movorack kicks things off with the release of ‘Talk Les$’. This single sees the sound of Movorack develop from pop driven dance, to a more club-orientated sound. While keeping things dark and eerie for some parts with heavy use of basslines, Movorack also uses unique and infectious topline synths to top this single off perfectly.
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Ne-Yo, Danna Paola – Mexico
When they released ‘Higher Place’ in 2015, we were wondering when the next time a single from both Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Ne-Yo would be. Now, 8 years later, they reunite and bring Danna Paola into proceedings for ‘Mexico’. An instantly catchy and addictive tune, all artists involved bring their a-game for this one and that makes it certain to be a worldwide success.

Singer and EDM collaborator Oliver Tree has died following a mid-air helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the morning of Sunday, June 14, along with five others.
Singer and EDM collaborator Oliver Tree has died following a mid-air helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the morning of Sunday, June 14. The crash, which occurred in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood in the southwest zone of the city, claimed six lives in total. The news was confirmed by the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro.
Oliver Tree was in Brazil as part of his ongoing world tour, having performed in São Paulo on June 6. His next scheduled date was set for Lisbon, Portugal on July 13, marking the start of the European leg of the tour. His last Instagram post, shared on Saturday the 13th, showed him in a studio with other artists.
What Happened in Rio de Janeiro
Two helicopters collided in the air before crashing into an electric vehicle yard on Avenida das Américas in Recreio dos Bandeirantes on Sunday morning, according to preliminary information from the Fire Department. The impact set approximately 20 parked cars alight. Six people were killed in total: five aboard one helicopter and the pilot of the second aircraft.
The confirmed victims are Oliver Tree Nickel (passenger), Lucas Vignale (passenger), Gaspar Prim (passenger), Lucas Brito Chaves (passenger), Alexandre Souza (pilot), and Charles Marsillac (pilot). Among those killed was Gaspar Prim, known online as Gaspi, an Argentine YouTuber with nearly 7.5 million followers.
The case is being handled by the 42nd Police District in Recreio dos Bandeirantes. Brazil’s Air Force, through its Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA), has been deployed to the site to conduct the initial investigation. Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) has also confirmed it is looking into the circumstances involving the aircraft and pilots.
Oliver Tree’s Impact on Music
Oliver Tree had built one of the more distinctive careers in modern music, blending alternative, pop, hip-hop, and electronic influences into a sound that defied easy categorization. He had nearly 20 million followers across social media and more than 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with tracks accumulating over 700 million streams on the platform. His collaborations across the electronic music world made him a familiar name in the EDM space, and his personality and visual identity made him impossible to ignore regardless of genre.
Our thoughts are with his family, his collaborators, his fans, and everyone affected by this tragedy.
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.
