ROXIE Releases New Electro House Single ‘Turn It Up,’ a self released track that brings classic EDM influence into her current run as a producer and live DJ

French Producer and DJ ROXIE steps out with ‘Turn It Up.’ ROXIE continues her run in Electro House with ‘Turn It Up’, a self released single that connects her classic EDM influence with the more direct side of her production. The track uses a catchy vocal hook, big synth leads, and a driving arrangement, while still keeping the focus on ROXIE as an artist handling more than one part of the release herself. According to the press release, she worked across production, mastering, and lyrical composition, which gives ‘Turn It Up’ more weight as part of her own catalogue, not just another single under her name. The release also comes during a wider period of growth for ROXIE, who has played Tomorrowland Winter and Les Plages Électroniques, shared lineups with names including Martin Garrix and Fisher, and has Stereoparc Festival listed among her upcoming festival dates. With ‘Turn It Up’, ROXIE adds another Electro House release to her catalogue while giving listeners a clearer look at her work as both a producer and live DJ.

ROXIE Takes Full Creative Control On ‘Turn It Up’

For ‘Turn It Up’, ROXIE is not only releasing a new Electro House single under her own name, but showing how closely the record is tied to her own process. She handled production, mastering, and lyrical composition herself, giving the self released single a stronger independent identity from the start. That matters because the final version comes directly from how ROXIE hears the track, writes the vocal idea, finishes the mix, and wants the release to be heard. In Electro House, details such as vocal placement, synth work, arrangement, and mix balance can change the entire record, so her involvement across each stage gives ‘Turn It Up’ more context within her catalogue. It also positions the single as more than another upload under her name, showing ROXIE taking charge of the creative and technical work behind the release.

That control carries into the track itself, with ‘Turn It Up’ using a catchy vocal hook, strong synth leads, and classic EDM influence to give the record a clear identity. The production keeps attention on the vocal and lead work instead of crowding the track with too many extra ideas, which helps the single stay direct and easy to follow. That also connects to where ROXIE is right now as both a producer and DJ, with past appearances at Tomorrowland Winter and Les Plages Électroniques, lineups alongside Martin Garrix and Fisher, and Stereoparc Festival listed among her upcoming dates. In that context, ‘Turn It Up’ gives ROXIE another Electro House release that links her studio work with the audiences she is continuing to reach through festival stages and DJ sets.

ROXIE Brings Classic EDM Influence Into ‘Turn It Up’

After the independent process behind the release, ‘Turn It Up’ moves the attention back to the record itself and the Electro House direction ROXIE is working through. The single takes influence from the golden era of EDM, but it does not try to recreate that period too literally. Instead, ROXIE uses familiar elements from that sound, including a clear vocal hook, large synth lines, and heavier drum work, then keeps the arrangement open enough for each part to have its place. The vocal gives ‘Turn It Up’ its first point of connection, while the synth work brings in the bigger dance music feel referenced in the release. There is also a directness to the track that helps it move through its main sections without getting crowded by too many extra ideas. For listeners discovering ROXIE through this release, ‘Turn It Up’ gives a clear entry into the part of her catalogue that stays close to Electro House while still carrying the influence of earlier EDM records.

The stronger parts of ‘Turn It Up’ come from how clearly ROXIE places each element around the main idea of the track. The vocal hook is not treated like a small detail in the background, because it gives the record something listeners can return to as the production grows around it. From there, the synth lines take more space and bring the golden era reference into the track without making it feel like a copy of older festival records. The drums add more weight to the production, but the arrangement still leaves enough room for the vocal and lead work to remain clear. That balance helps ‘Turn It Up’ feel controlled, especially because the record knows which parts need to carry the most attention. Instead of relying only on size, ROXIE keeps the track centered on repetition, impact, and a structure that makes the Electro House influence easy to hear from the first listen. It gives the single a more complete shape as well, because the hook, synth work, and heavier sections are not fighting for space. Each part comes back with a purpose, which keeps ‘Turn It Up’ direct while still giving listeners enough detail to stay with the record beyond the first hook.

With ‘Turn It Up’ now out, ROXIE closes this release with a clear continuation of the Electro House direction running through her recent work. The single brings together the classic EDM references, vocal hook, and larger synth sections already heard across the record, while still keeping the focus on ROXIE as an artist taking control of her own releases. As her catalogue continues to grow, ‘Turn It Up’ gives listeners another point of entry into her music and adds to the run she is developing across both studio releases and DJ sets. Listen to ‘Turn It Up’ now and follow ROXIE for more updates on her upcoming shows and new music.

New EDM Friday August 14 brings new music from Skrillex, Anyma, Armin van Buuren, What So Not, Tape B, and more.

New EDM Friday August 14 brings together new singles, collaborations, EP releases, and crossover records covering bass music, melodic techno, trance, trap, house, and dance. From MPH and Skrillex with Mirage to Anyma and Volkoder with Other Dimension, Armin van Buuren and DIØN with Burn It Up, What So Not with I SAW A TRAP DJ AND IT CHANGED MY BIO CHEMISTRY, and Tape B with Zaytoven on Signature Sound, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.

MPH & Skrillex – Mirage

After being teased by MPH at EDC Las Vegas in May, Mirage now gets its official release with Skrillex through DisOrder and Capitol Records. The track brings together MPH’s place in the new wave of UK Garage with Skrillex’s long history of pushing electronic music into different directions, while also sampling Red Rat’s early 2000s Jamaican dancefloor classic ShellyAnn. The collaboration was made in one afternoon, with MPH explaining that he and Skrillex passed the laptop back and forth until their sounds came together. After a summer that included Parklife, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands, plus upcoming dates at CRSSD Festival, EDC Orlando, Seismic Dance Event, and headline shows across Europe and North America, MPH comes into Mirage at one of the biggest points in his career so far. With its UK Garage base, Jamaican sample, and long-awaited Skrillex connection, Mirage opens New EDM Friday August 14 with one of the week’s biggest releases.

Anyma & Volkoder – Other Dimension

Other Dimension brings Anyma and Volkoder together during the next phase of Anyma’s visual and melodic techno world. The track had already been circulating online as an unreleased ID before appearing on release lists, with earlier setlist references also pointing to the collaboration under the title Another Dimension. For Anyma, it continues the move from Genesys into the new ÆDEN chapter, which has become the focus of his 2026 shows. Volkoder adds a Brazilian producer presence to the release, with a background connected to house, techno, and club records. With the track now tied to Anyma’s current visual world and Volkoder stepping into that space, Other Dimension gives New EDM Friday August 14 a melodic techno entry alongside the heavier and bass-focused records on the list.

Armin van Buuren & DIØN ft. Scrufizzer – Burn It Up

After first being premiered during Armin van Buuren’s Amsterdam Dance Event 2025 show, Burn It Up now gets its full release with DIØN and Scrufizzer through Armada Music. The track later appeared in Armin van Buuren’s Tomorrowland 2026 set, giving it a clear live history before release day. Burn It Up connects DIØN’s harder production style with Armin van Buuren’s long-running place in electronic music, while Scrufizzer adds a grime vocal that gives the record a sharper edge. The single also includes an extended mix, which fits the way the track had already been moving through live sets. With DIØN coming off releases such as Come Alive, Taka Tribe, and Pulsation, Burn It Up brings a harder techno and hard dance entry into New EDM Friday August 14.

What So Not – I SAW A TRAP DJ AND IT CHANGED MY BIO CHEMISTRY

What So Not’s new EP I SAW A TRAP DJ AND IT CHANGED MY BIO CHEMISTRY looks back at the early trap, beats, and future bass culture that helped shape his sound, while placing those ideas in his current creative world. The project follows the singles EVEREST with Alina Pash, MONA LISA with Mr. Carmack and Benni Ola, and Candy Flipping with Jack Blom, NERVE, and Alina Pash. Across six tracks, the EP brings in Alina Pash, Mr. Carmack, Jack Blom, Elohim, Christian Patey, Losco, Michael Christmas, and Caliph, moving between cinematic songwriting, bass experimentation, and the kind of collaborative energy tied to that earlier internet-era electronic scene. The project also connects to What So Not’s North American tour under the same title, a smaller-room run focused on community and direct connection with his audience. With the EP revisiting the sound that first changed his path without simply repeating the past, What So Not adds one of the week’s main bass projects to New EDM Friday August 14.

4B – SWITCH

4B returns to Deadbeats with SWITCH, following his June label debut WHAT IS THIS. The single moves further into dubstep while keeping the Jersey Club influence that has been central to 4B’s sound, pairing heavy basslines, hypnotic vocals, and harder drops with the high-energy approach he has carried across his career. The release comes during a busy year for 4B, including headline performances in Los Angeles and Bangkok, along with his residency at Hakkasan Nightclub Las Vegas. His wider catalogue includes the breakout single Pop Dat, the 2018 release Whistle, and remixes of Fetty Wap’s My Way, DJ Snake’s Middle, and J Balvin’s Mi Gente. With support from Tiësto, Skrillex, Diplo, Steve Aoki, RL Grime, and I Hate Models, SWITCH brings 4B’s Jersey Club and bass music sound into New EDM Friday August 14.

Tape B ft. Zaytoven – Signature Sound

Tape B links with Zaytoven on Signature Sound, a collaboration that brings his nostalgic dubstep influence together with one of Atlanta hip-hop’s most recognizable producers. The track was inspired by the famous UKF dubstep tutorial and the 2010–2012 era of dubstep, with Tape B using Zaytoven speaking about the “wub” sound as part of the idea behind the record. Zaytoven’s production history includes work with Gucci Mane, Future, Migos, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, and 21 Savage, making the collaboration a natural extension of Tape B’s long-running connection to hip-hop through edits, flips, and his 2024 Juicy J collaboration Trippy Land. The single has also been part of Tape B’s live sets since his fall 2025 bus tour, where it was used as an intro before becoming a regular favorite in his shows. With Tape B continuing a major run that includes sold-out Summer Program dates with Levity and a nearly sold-out two-night Red Rocks headline later this year, Signature Sound adds a bass and hip-hop crossover to New EDM Friday August 14.

Wax Motif & Spin Off – Naked Girls

Wax Motif and Spin Off team up on Naked Girls, a new bass house single released through Divided Souls. The track follows Wax Motif’s recent House of Wax II album and keeps the focus on the heavier side of his sound, using blaring sirens, hard-hitting basslines, and a playful hook. Spin Off brings his unconventional house approach into the collaboration, with his sound taking influence from the Blog House era. The release also comes ahead of Wax Motif’s upcoming Grand Park headline show in Los Angeles, which is set to be his biggest production so far and will include new visuals, outdoor production, and unreleased music. With Wax Motif continuing to connect house, hip-hop, R&B, and bass house through his own releases and Divided Souls, Naked Girls gives New EDM Friday August 14 another house entry with a rowdier edge.
