New EDM Friday May 15 brings together major collaborations, new EPs, album releases, and records made for clubs and festival sets, covering house, techno, bass, and crossover electronic music. From Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran to David Guetta and MARTEN HØRGER, HI-LO, James Hype, and Sub Zero Project, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran finally release Repeat It, a collaboration that dates back to 2014 and became one of the most requested unreleased tracks in modern EDM. Martin Garrix first played the song during his Ultra Music Festival Miami 2015 set, where it circulated among fans for years under the title Rewind Repeat It. The track was later held back through label-related delays, while live rips and fan uploads kept it part of Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran lore for more than a decade. Now released in a reworked form under the title Repeat It, the track closes a 12-year wait and gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its biggest talking points.
Alesso teams up with JOA on Turn Up The Bass, a new release on Body Hi, the house-focused label connected to Alesso’s recent run of club records. The track was teased ahead of release through Alesso’s own channels, where he posted that he and JOA had teamed up on the record before its Friday drop. Early clips also linked the track to Ultra Miami, where the ID had already started circulating before its official release. With Tyree Cooper also credited on the track, Turn Up The Bass brings Alesso back into a more direct house lane after years of moving between festival records, pop collaborations, and his newer Body Hi releases.
David Guetta and MARTEN HØRGER launch their new joint project Men Machine with a five-track EP on Spinnin’ Records. The project was first introduced live at Coachella 2026, where MARTEN HØRGER joined David Guetta on the Quasar Stage to play new material from the EP. Before its release, David Guetta said the tracks had been tested across their Ibiza residency and at Coachella, giving the project a live history before the official drop. Following their 2023 collaboration The Freaks, Men Machine gives David Guetta and MARTEN HØRGER a dedicated project built around darker electro, techno, and synth-led club music.
Max White releases Warrior, a track that follows the Miami-based DJ and producer’s recent run of tech house and bassline-led records. Public info around the release is limited, but Max White uploaded an extended demo version of Warrior to SoundCloud on May 7, giving the track an early preview before its wider New Music Friday push. His official artist bio and Resident Advisor profile describe his background as a former Formula 4 race car driver and connect his music to tech house, driving basslines, melodic synths, and club-focused production. With Warrior, Max White keeps that direction intact, placing the record in the same lane as the heavier house material he has been developing across his recent releases.
Kaleena Zanders releases Anything Goes, her debut album, through Helix Records. The seven-track project includes The Light with Shift K3Y, Can You Imagine with Bipolar Sunshine, Who We Are with Hayley May, and Thinking of Yesterday with NO BILLS, alongside solo tracks such as Anything Goes, Call Out My Name, and Stronger Than Machines. Kaleena Zanders has spent years moving between vocalist, songwriter, DJ, and producer roles, with earlier dance music credits including SNBRN’s California and her 2024 GLORIFIED EP. With Anything Goes, Kaleena Zanders puts her own name at the center of a full-length release after a long run of singles, collaborations, and club records.
Axel Boy releases Shangri-La EP through Deadbeats, with the project led by three tracks: Pressure Dub, Beat Down, and Shangri-La. The EP was announced through Deadbeats with a May 15 release date, while Axel Boy also teased the project across his own channels ahead of release. The Bristol-based producer has kept his work close to dubstep, bass house, and darker club sounds across releases on labels including Circus Records, UKF, and Deadbeats. With Shangri-La EP, Axel Boy keeps that direction tight, pairing low-end bass pressure with a more direct dubstep structure across the project.
Levity release Neon Soul, another track connected to their Escapism, Vol. 2 rollout. The Chicago electronic trio had already played the track during recent live sets, including Coachella 2026, where footage of Neon Soul started spreading before its official release. Levity also teased the song through their own channels ahead of Friday, framing it as one of the next records from the new project. Following earlier tracks such as Flip It, ONE FOR YOU, Postman, Heartbreak, and Pop Off, Neon Soul keeps Levity close to bass music while giving the release a more melodic hook than some of their heavier festival material.
Dansyn returns just in time for summer with his latest single alongside Dox, ‘Work It Out’, arriving via Sidepiece’s Lip Service. Built for both late night dancefloors and gym weight rooms, the track delivers a seductive blend of driving house rhythms, fun vocals, and a pumping bassline.
