New EDM Friday July 24: Martin Garrix, U2, Steve Aoki & More
New EDM Friday July 24 brings new music from Martin Garrix, U2, Steve Aoki, Reinier Zonneveld, Max White, MARAH, and more.
New EDM Friday July 24 brings together new singles, collaborations, EP releases, and bass music projects covering progressive, techno, house, hard dance, trap, and experimental electronic music. From Martin Garrix and U2 with Fireflies to Steve Aoki, Reinier Zonneveld, and Darla Jade with On My Own, Max White with Lock In, MARAH with the LULA EP, and AHEE with Bassquest Vol 2 EP, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Martin Garrix & U2 – Fireflies
Martin Garrix and U2 release Fireflies, marking their first official collaboration together through STMPD RCRDS and Darkroom Records. The track premiered during Martin Garrix’s headline set at Tomorrowland last week, where The Edge made a surprise appearance to perform it live for the first time. Fireflies brings Bono’s vocals together with U2 and Martin Garrix’s electronic sound, continuing the creative connection between both acts after Martin Garrix produced U2’s Scars from their latest EP Easter Lily. Following Bizarre with Madonna and the long-awaited Repeat It with Ed Sheeran, Fireflies opens New EDM Friday July 24 with another major crossover release from Martin Garrix.
Steve Aoki, Reinier Zonneveld, Darla Jade – On My Own
Steve Aoki, Reinier Zonneveld, and Darla Jade release On My Own, a new collaboration that had its live debut at Tomorrowland before its official release on July 24. The track brings Steve Aoki together with Reinier Zonneveld’s techno background and Darla Jade’s vocal, giving the release a connection between mainstage dance, live performance, and a more melodic topline. Steve Aoki and Reinier Zonneveld performed the track together at Tomorrowland, using the festival as the first major preview for the collaboration before moving it from the stage to streaming platforms. With On My Own already tied to a major Tomorrowland moment, the release adds one of this week’s biggest cross-genre collaborations to New EDM Friday July 24.
MARAH – LULA EP
MARAH releases LULA, her second EP and first full project on Deadbeats, following her debut Deadrocks performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The four-track project brings together dubstep, trap, techno, and UK club influences, with Talk To Me, LOUDER with Ugly Lungs, TAKE IT featuring Crucial, and the title track LULA featuring Jessy Covets. MARAH described the EP as an honest reflection of who she is creatively, with the title track representing fearlessness, confidence, and pushing through obstacles. After touring with Hamdi, playing Shambhala, Lightning in a Bottle, Bass Coast, Fvded in the Park, and earning support from Zeds Dead, EPROM, Sicaria, Hamdi, and Notion, LULA adds a strong bass music project to New EDM Friday July 24.
AHEE – Bass Quest Vol. II EP
AHEE releases Bass Quest Vol. II, a seven-track collaborative EP on his Zot Records imprint. The project follows the previously released singles FIYAH with SubDocta and D4NCE with WonkyWilla, while also bringing in Stylust, SoDown, Manic Focus, Colby Buckler, Dirtwire, and Honeycomb across the full tracklist. The EP moves through different sides of AHEE’s bass music world, from the heavier opening of FIYAH to the wonky rhythms of D4NCE, the soulful feel of Connection, and the more cinematic closing track Alien Dirt. Following a 25-date headline tour, direct support for Liquid Stranger at Red Rocks, a B2B with Liquid Stranger at EDC Las Vegas, and upcoming dates at Shambhala, Hulaween, Freaky Deaky, and Mission Ballroom, Bass Quest Vol. II brings another collaborative bass project into New EDM Friday July 24.
Buunshin – Luminous Body
Buunshin releases Luminous Body, a new single inspired by the Persian philosophy of Illuminationism. The track explores the moment where self-awareness takes over the physical body, turning movement into instinct and placing the record in a space between cinematic electronica, techno, trance, and experimental bass. Luminous Body follows Buunshin’s collaborative album The Quiet That Hurts with What So Not, continuing the world he has been developing through emotionally detailed and technically precise bass music. With support from Skrillex, Flume, Porter Robinson, Chris Lake, and Noisia, plus past collaborations with IMANU, San Holo, Apashe, Habstrakt, and What So Not, Luminous Body adds one of the week’s most experimental entries to New EDM Friday July 24.
