New EDM Friday Releases You Cannot Miss, Aug 22, 2025
New EDM Friday returns with new music by Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris, Armin van Buuren, WHIPPED CREAM, and more.
New EDM Friday is back and this week’s lineup is stacked with massive collaborations and fresh anthems from some of the biggest names in dance music. From mainstage-ready bangers to experimental bass heaters, let’s dive straight into the highlights.
Martin Garrix & Arcando – Set Me Free
Martin Garrix teams up with Dutch rising star Arcando for ‘Set Me Free’, a high-energy drum and bass anthem that blends Garrix’s signature euphoric melodies with Arcando’s punchy, future-leaning drops. Packed with soaring synths, emotional vocal chops, and festival-sized crescendos, the track feels tailor-made for Garrix’s mainstage sets while giving Arcando a well-deserved spotlight on the global stage.
Calvin Harris & D.O.D – Sweet Nothing (2025 Edit)
Calvin Harris revisits his Florence Welch classic ‘Sweet Nothing’, enlisting D.O.D to give the timeless anthem a modern-day rework. The 2025 Edit infuses the track with high-octane house energy and D.O.D’s signature UK club flair, transforming its nostalgic vocal hook into a peak-time dancefloor weapon that bridges past and present. Expect this one to dominate both festivals and afterhours sets all season long.
Armin van Buuren ft. Malou – Everything I Wanted
Armin van Buuren links up with vocalist Malou on ‘Everything I Wanted’, a trance-meets-pop fusion that blends Malou’s heartfelt delivery with Armin’s trademark melodic production. Atmospheric pads, rolling basslines, and soaring leads build into a euphoric drop that’s equal parts emotional and explosive, cementing this as a festival favorite and future fan favorite.
WHIPPED CREAM & No/Me – alive
Out on Monstercat Instinct, ‘alive’ brings together versatile producer WHIPPED CREAM and breakout vocalist No/Me for a soaring melodic house track that blends lush piano melodies, hypnotic vocals, and atmospheric production. Showcasing WHIPPED CREAM’s multi-layered sound design and No/Me’s captivating topline, the record flows from intimate verses into an infectious drop that bridges deep and melodic house, making it equally perfect for late-night dancefloors or reflective night drives.
Gentlemens Club – Champion
UK bass trio Gentlemens Club return to Deadbeats with ‘Champion’, the fiery first single from their forthcoming ‘Originals’ EP, out August 22nd. First premiered during their explosive ‘Originals’ set debut at Rampage Open Air 2025, the track fuses monstrous basslines, dub reggae influences, and sound clash energy into a raw, genre-blurring anthem that bridges dubstep, jungle, and UK sound system culture. Marking the start of a bold new chapter with custom visuals, fresh content, and a forthcoming North American tour, ‘Champion’ sets the tone for the group’s October ‘Originals’ EP and their biggest year yet.
Kayzo & Samplifire – BERSERK
Kayzo and Samplifire unleash ‘BERSERK’ on August 22nd via Welcome Records, a ferocious hybrid of techno, bass, and hard dance built to ignite chaos on any dancefloor. Fusing Kayzo’s chaos-meets-melody energy with Samplifire’s razor-sharp sound design, the track balances pounding industrial rhythms with explosive drops, capturing both underground grit and mainstage power. A nod to Kayzo’s roots and a glimpse into his evolving hard dance direction, ‘BERSERK’ stands as a high-octane statement piece and a devastating weapon for DJs worldwide.
Netsky & Bebe Rexha – Light That Leads Me
Global Drum & Bass pioneer Netsky has joined forces with chart-topping Grammy-nominated, Diamond-certified artist, songwriter and global pop powerhouse Bebe Rexha to deliver ‘Light That Leads Me’, a radiant fusion of emotive vocals and euphoric production that bridges the worlds of pop and electronic music. Built around Bebe Rexha’s soaring, heartfelt performance, the track radiates optimism and connection, pairing her unmistakable voice with Netsky’s signature high-energy beats and shimmering melodies. It’s a song that feels as at home on festival main stages as it does on radio airwaves – a testament to both artists’ ability to create music that transcends genre boundaries.

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.
In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.
Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.
“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

The ever-evolving Deadlynoiz is back with another new single ‘Rock The House’ adding to his stacked 2026 repertoire.
Stepping into the world of bass house for this track, Deadlynoiz has produced a hugely impactful hit brimmed with his hallmark strengths. ‘Rock The House’ is a fantastic showcase of his ability to design and blend together a myriad of creative synths to deliver powerful soundscapes. The track keeps pumping from start to finish but is dynamic in its energy shifting from the more melodic verses to the aggressive, bass face inducing choruses. Deadlynoiz is consistently looking to evolve his productions and has leaned into more experimental territories here with emphatic results.
His development as an artist is evident from both his productions and his accolades as he’s attracted the attention of LVLD Music. He’s dropped a slew of hits with them and is continuing to develop their relationship with the release of ‘Rock The House’ on their label. Since it’s release the track has already raked in thousands of streams and he’s pushed onto releasing even more music in ‘Magic’ and ‘Block.’ Now bringing in over 20,000 streams a month on Spotify it’s clear that Deadlynoiz’s hard work is paying off as his fanbase continues to grow.
‘Rock The House’ is another step forward in Deadlynoiz’s evolution in sound and development as an artist. With every release he’s proving his abilities in the studio and with the rate he’s working at, there’s plenty more to come.

Scarper releases ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a collection of eight unreleased tracks from the era behind his debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and ‘E-Funk’.
UK artist Scarper has released ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a hand-picked collection of eight previously unreleased tracks pulled from the same period that produced his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and his 2020 dancefloor tune ‘E-Funk’, which has been experiencing a resurgence thanks to a recent physical release on a new imprint.
The project is exactly what it sounds like, Scarper going back through his studio archives and finding the demos, jams, and ideas from that era that were good enough to polish up and put out. “I realised I had quite a few demos, jams and ideas on my laptop from that period, some of which were decent enough to polish up and get out into the world,” he said. “It’s a snapshot of where I was musically at the time, so I thought I’d package them together as a retrospective rather than a proper release, giving people something to enjoy while I crack on with the next project.”
The eight tracks cover a lot of ground, from the epic opening chords of ‘Skynet’ to the acid squelches of ‘Steppe’ and the string arrangements of ‘Halocline’. It is the kind of release that rewards the people who have been paying attention, and sits comfortably alongside some of his best work.
Scarper has built his career almost entirely on his own terms, releasing through his own imprint Plexus Records and picking up support from Orbital, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Rinse FM, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, and DJ Mag along the way.
‘Off-Cuts (2014–2021)’ is out now on Plexus Records.
