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.
