Skrillex Teases SOMA With 13-Song Tracklist
Skrillex Teases SOMA With 13-Song Tracklist after sharing it on Instagram Stories as possible new album speculation grows
Skrillex may be preparing another major release after sharing a 13-song SOMA tracklist on his Instagram Stories. The post lists the project at 42 minutes and includes recent singles such as Thistle, Smoke, and Duro, alongside unreleased titles including Tranki, Noche Without You, Chini, Anybody, and Diwali. No release date has been shared yet, and Skrillex has not confirmed whether SOMA is officially a new album, but the tracklist is the clearest sign so far after months of speculation. With Skrillex releasing Quest for Fire, Don’t Get Too Close, FCK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT!! <3*, the Hit Me Where It Hurts X EP, the Kora EP, and several recent singles within a short span, SOMA could continue one of the busiest release periods of his career.
The Instagram Story That Put SOMA Back in Focus
The latest SOMA speculation did not come from a random leak or an edited fan post. Skrillex shared the tracklist himself on Instagram Stories, showing 13 songs with a total runtime of 42 minutes. The screenshot includes already released names such as Thistle, Smoke, and Duro, while unreleased titles like Tranki, Noche Without You, Chini, Anybody, and Diwali make the post feel closer to a project preview than a casual playlist share. There is still no release date attached, and Skrillex has not confirmed SOMA as a new album, but the story gives the speculation a much firmer starting point.
Why the SOMA Tracklist Points to More Than a Loose Teaser
The most important detail is not only that Skrillex posted a tracklist, but that the list connects several recent releases under one title. Thistle, Smoke, and Duro are already part of his current output, and all three now appear inside SOMA instead of standing apart as separate singles. That gives the Instagram Story more weight because it suggests these releases may have been leading toward a larger project. It also makes the unreleased names around them feel less random, since songs such as Tranki, Noche Without You, Chini, Anybody, and Diwali now appear in a full 13-song sequence.
Skrillex has also been putting out music at a much faster rate than usual, which makes the SOMA tracklist land at an interesting point in his current run. Duro followed his work with Young Miko, while Smoke brought together Skrillex, ISOxo, Cristale, and TeeZandos after being known for years as a live ID. Thistle added another layer to the rollout, with Randomer, Blawan, and MC Dricka on a song that had reportedly been circulating since 2022 before its official release. Around the same period, Skrillex also launched CONTRA in Berlin with a large multi-artist event at Kraftwerk, which made the timing of the new music feel more connected to a wider creative push. SOMA does not read like a random folder of songs. It looks more like Skrillex gathering different parts of his recent output into one possible new album, even if he has not confirmed the format or release date yet.
What Skrillex Has Not Confirmed About SOMA Yet
With the tracklist now public through Skrillex’s own Instagram Stories, the question around SOMA has shifted from whether the project exists to how it will actually be released. The story gives the project a full sequence and places recent singles inside it, but it stops short of the details that would make this an official album announcement. There is no confirmed release date, artwork rollout, label statement, or streaming link yet, which means SOMA should still be treated as a possible new album instead of a confirmed one.
That matters because Skrillex has not followed a standard rollout pattern in recent years. Quest for Fire and Don’t Get Too Close arrived within a day of each other in 2023, while FCK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT!! <3* arrived in 2025 with a different release approach. Since then, he has kept the pace going through EPs, singles, and club-focused collaborations, which makes SOMA feel less like a sudden tease and more like the next possible step in an active release cycle. If the project arrives in full, it could give his recent singles a clearer home while introducing the unreleased tracks shown in the story. If Skrillex chooses another format, the tracklist still points to a larger release plan that has not been fully explained yet.
Mazay and HIGH’S COOL release ‘Weekend’ via Fankee, a euphoric house and french touch single channelling the carefree energy of early 2000s club culture.
Community-driven label Fankee is proud to announce the release of “Weekend”, the new collaborative single by Mazay and HIGH’S COOL.
Born spontaneously during a phone call between Mazay and Federico “Fede” Secondomè of HIGH’S COOL, “Weekend” captures the chemistry of two artistic worlds reconnecting after years of shared creative evolution. The result is a track that channels the carefree instinct and euphoric energy of the early 2000s while sounding unmistakably contemporary.
Built around infectious house grooves, french touch textures and retro-inspired brit-pop vocal melodies, “Weekend” is designed as a soundtrack for collective escape, a song that transforms every weekend into a ritual of freedom, movement and connection.
Mazay, DJ and producer with a strong electronic identity, first emerged internationally as one half of the iconic duo Pink Is Punk, a project that helped define a generation of EDM and electro club culture. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with influential artists and producers including Drillionaire and Benny Benassi, contributing to multiple platinum-certified productions.
Alongside his studio work, Mazay has performed special DJ sets for AC Milan at San Siro, shared stages with Jovanotti during the Jova Beach Party and continues to tour Italy’s leading clubs with a sound that blends house, tech house and high-energy club sensibility. At the same time, he maintains deep roots in the underground electronic scene, with productions regularly supported by internationally respected DJs across the global club circuit.
HIGH’S COOL is an Italian electronic duo formed by Federico Secondomè and Keith Rich, combining early-2000s french touch energy with psychedelic pop influences reminiscent of Tame Impala, the glossy electronic aesthetic of Empire Of The Sun and the brit-pop attitude of Pulp. In a short time, the project has evolved into a wider creative movement spanning music, fashion and nightlife culture.
As producers, Secondomè and Keith Rich have also contributed to major international releases, including VULTURES 1 and VULTURES 2 by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign. Their artistic identity merges playful irreverence, refined sound design and a vivid visual language, positioning HIGH’S COOL among the most compelling emerging acts within Italy’s independent music landscape.
The release also reflects the vision behind Fankee, the revolutionary community-driven label redefining the relationship between artists and audiences. In an era dominated by algorithms, fleeting virality and platform gatekeepers, Fankee gives power back to fans, transforming them from passive listeners into active collaborators in an artist’s growth.
Through its innovative model, fans become instrumental in discovering artists, promoting releases, activating communities and helping shape cultural momentum. Meanwhile, artists retain their independence while gaining access to a collaborative ecosystem built around community participation, shared growth and direct engagement.
With “Weekend”, Mazay, HIGH’S COOL and Fankee come together to deliver more than just a single: they introduce a shared experience rooted in nostalgia, dancefloor culture and the collective energy of modern independent music.
New EDM Friday June 12 brings new music from Kaskade, BUNT., HUGEL, DJ Snake, R3HAB, and more.
New EDM Friday June 12 brings together new singles, remixes, and EP releases covering melodic house, bass music, trap, tech house, and crossover electronic music. From Kaskade and BUNT. with Comes Back Around to HUGEL, Big Sean, and Scott Storch with Body Drop, ISOxo getting a DJ Snake remix on FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP, and Rova releasing the Undisputed EP, these are the tracks you should not miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.
Kaskade & BUNT. – Comes Back Around
Kaskade and BUNT. release Comes Back Around, a collaboration first played live during Kaskade’s solo return to Coachella earlier this year. The single continues Kaskade’s ORIGIN // era, following Meet Again with Natalie Jane and Layton Giordani, the official EDC Las Vegas 2026 anthem, and lands during a busy run that includes Electric Forest, X Games Sacramento, Beyond Wonderland at The Gorge, Tokyo, Las Vegas, and more. For BUNT., Comes Back Around adds to a breakout stretch that has already included Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, a Wynn Las Vegas residency, and recent official remix work for Taylor Swift and Zedd. With Kaskade coming off one of his biggest creative resets and BUNT. entering 2026 as one of dance music’s fastest-rising names, Comes Back Around gives this week’s New EDM Friday a collaboration that connects Kaskade’s ORIGIN // chapter with BUNT.’s current rise.
HUGEL, Big Sean & Scott Storch – Body Drop
HUGEL continues the rollout of his debut album Twenty One with Body Drop, a collaboration with Big Sean and Scott Storch that brings the project further into dance and hip-hop crossover territory. The single follows Movin’ To The Sun with Ultra Naté and Imael Angel, along with Ron Y Coco featuring Flagrant Drvms and Barbara Doza, building on an album rollout rooted in house music, Afro, Latin, and crossover influences. For HUGEL, Body Drop arrives after his Coachella debut, the launch of his Make The Girls Dance residency at Hï Ibiza, and a 2025 run that passed 1 billion annual streams. With Big Sean on the vocal side and Scott Storch bringing his long production history across hip-hop and pop, Body Drop gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its strongest dance and rap collaborations.
ISOxo – FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP (DJ Snake Remix)
DJ Snake puts his own spin on ISOxo’s FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP, with the remix marking the first release from ISOxo’s upcoming remix EP. The hard dance and bass-heavy version had already been circulating through DJ Snake’s recent festival sets, including Ultra Music Festival Miami, EDC Las Vegas, and his Coachella back-to-back with Knock2, where ISOxo also made a special appearance. Built around distorted basslines and the vocal drop at the center of the original, the remix pushes the record further into festival and hard dance territory. With DJ Snake bringing it into some of the year’s biggest stages and ISOxo continuing his rise through bass music, trap, and the wider electronic scene, FUCK THE SPEAKERZ UP (DJ Snake Remix) gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its heaviest releases.
Rova – Undisputed EP
New Zealand drum & bass producer Rova releases his six-track Undisputed EP, a boxing-inspired project that follows support from BBC Radio 1, UKF, George FM, and major names across bass music. The EP opens with previously released tracks OCTANE, SEE U WORK, and LOW DOWN with A Little Sound, before moving into newer cuts like THINK I AM, ONETWENTYFIVE, and ENDOFTIME. Across the project, Rova uses each track like a different round, moving between hard-hitting drum & bass, hip-hop influence, UK rap vocals, and a more emotional closing moment. With upcoming dates at Drumsheds, Creamfields, and Worship Festival, plus past support from Chase & Status, K Motionz, and Sub Focus, Undisputed gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its strongest drum & bass releases.
R3HAB x Izzy Bizu – If I could stop time…
R3HAB links with Izzy Bizu on If I could stop time…, a new collaboration that brings his dance-pop production together with Izzy Bizu’s soulful vocal style. The single also appears on R3HAB’s upcoming album Dream inside a dream…, placing it within a wider project rollout from the Dutch-Moroccan producer. For Izzy Bizu, the release follows her continued presence in dance music after collaborations including All Night Long with Kungs and David Guetta. The pairing makes sense for a record that connects electronic production with vocal-led pop songwriting, giving it more of a crossover direction than a club-focused one. With R3HAB focusing on melody and Izzy Bizu carrying the emotional side of the song, If I could stop time… gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its softer crossover moments.
4B – What Is This
4B makes his Deadbeats debut with What Is This, a new single that brings his Jersey Club roots into heavier dubstep territory. The record keeps the sharp drum patterns and club switch-ups tied to 4B’s sound, while adding heavier basslines and a monologue-style breakdown about growth and adaptation. Its release also marks a full-circle moment for 4B, who said he has been a fan of Deadbeats since playing with Zeds Dead during the early Mad Decent days. After more than a decade of support from names like Skrillex, Diplo, Tiësto, Steve Aoki, and RL Grime, What Is This gives this week’s New EDM Friday a harder bass release from an artist still pushing his sound without losing the Jersey Club foundation that started it.
ONHELL & Horsey – I Love the Way It Feels
ONHELL releases I Love the Way It Feels featuring Horsey, bringing together heavy bass music, melodic wave influences, and pop-leaning songwriting. The single reflects the community-first approach behind ONHELL’s work, where music, parties, and touring are tied to connection, self-expression, and inclusive dancefloor spaces. His recent tour also pushed that further, with every stop run as a fundraiser and 100% of proceeds going to local nonprofit organizations in each city. With Horsey’s vocals worked into the center of the record and ONHELL using the release as part of the sound behind his wider album direction, I Love the Way It Feels gives this week’s New EDM Friday one of its more personal bass releases.
EAZYBAKED x Richard Finger – EAZY MF FINGER
EAZYBAKED and Richard Finger release EAZY MF FINGER, a long-awaited bass collaboration that has been circulating through live sets, online clips, and fan demand for more than a year. The track arrives exclusively on SoundCloud, keeping it close to the platform culture that helped both projects build their communities through unreleased IDs, direct fan engagement, and bass music discovery outside a traditional DSP rollout. For EAZYBAKED, the release comes during a strong touring run that includes Bonnaroo, Shambhala, Bass Canyon, Apocalypse Festival, Camp Alderwild, and their recent EDC Las Vegas debut. For Richard Finger, it marks the project’s first official collaboration, following major underground attention, support for Tape B at Red Rocks, and two sold-out nights at Denver’s Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom. With both acts playing Bonnaroo this month and EAZYBAKED scheduled directly after Richard Finger, EAZY MF FINGER gives this week’s New EDM Friday a bass release built from real fan demand, live-set history, and SoundCloud-first culture.
