New music highlights from Dancing Astronaut’s Artists to Watch in 2025
Kesha – Take It Off (ALLEYCVT Flip)
Rising powerhouse ALLEYCVT — who was named a Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025 — puts her own spin on Kesha’s iconic song “Take It Off,” flipping the pop anthem into a hard-hitting bass remix that’s available now on SoundCloud. Built on sharp drops, distorted vocals, and the bold, chaotic energy she’s become known for, the fierce rework cements her place as one of dubstep’s most exciting new artists. – Liana Stern
Adam Sellouk – Dance Machine
Adam Sellouk leans further into his tech-house side with his new single “Dance Machine,” out now via Insomniac Records. The rising producer is closing the year on a red-hot run, following up both “Carnage” and “Girls MIA,” his September collaboration with Anyma. “Dance Machine” pushes Sellouk’s momentum even further, blending high-voltage grooves with the sleek, futuristic edge that’s helped make him into one of 2025’s most-in demand artists. – Zach Salafia
anamē – Hopes & Fears [Companion EP]
anamē — the melodic duo comprised of Marcus Schossow and Thomas Sagstad — return with a new single titled “Malibu” as part of the companion EP to their album Hopes & Fears that released earlier this year on Anjunabeats. The new record features a darker, driving edge alongside their signature melodic side, showing off the duo’s versatility. – Zach Salafia
Arcando, KANINE & HEIGHTS – Lost Tonight
A breakout year for Arcando — one that’s seen him drop seven tracks, including both a remix for and an original with Martin Garrix — comes to a head with what he understandably describes as one of his most-requested releases. That moment arrives with “Lost Tonight,” a collaboration with fellow drum ’n’ bass force KANINE and vocalist HEIGHTS, delivering yet another scintillating entry from one of Dancing Astronaut’s Artists to Watch in 2025. – Ross Goldenberg
Riordan & A+ – Party’s Out
Everything Riordan has touched in 2025 seems to turn to gold, and his sixth musical offering of the year is no exception. Another heavily sought-after ID from his sets, “Party’s Out” lands with an undeniably catchy sample from A+’s ’90s classic, a technique Riordan has arguably perfected better than anyone in recent memory and one that blends seamlessly into his house sound. – Ross Goldenberg
Aaron Hibell – nocturnal
At long last, Aaron Hibell’s debut album officially has a release date. And to pair with the reveal that a project six years in the making will finally arrive on March 6, Hibell marks the occasion with “nocturnal,” the album’s second single. It’s a perfectly fitting choice, with Hibell diving into his expansive, cinematic production style for a release that puts a likely final, triumphant touch on his Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025 campaign. – Ross Goldenberg
SOREN & Nino Lucarelli – INSIDE YOUR ECHO
“Touch me through the static of your shadow / Show me how to breathe inside your echo,” Nino Lucarelli entreats on SOREN’s “INSIDE YOUR ECHO.” By song’s end, listeners will need a breathing lesson of their own — particularly after its final drop unleashes with metallic fury. The Dirty Workz signee’s latest single plays like a choose-your-own adventure that takes several thunderous turns, each executed with stadium-sized sound strong enough to blow out your speakers (and certainly worthy of doing so). “INSIDE YOUR ECHO” injects a burst of ebullience into SOREN’s dark, melodic signature, with Lucarelli’s vocal cutting it a heady punk/rock edge. It’s only a matter of time until this one detonates at Ultra Miami, where SOREN returns next March for Dirty Workz’s 20th-anniversary stage takeover. — Rachel Narozniak
TH;EN & SLVR – Gangs
TH;EN and SLVR have unleashed “Gangs,” a single that has quickly become one of the most in-demand club weapons of the year. Supported by Anyma, MORTEN, Mathame, and Korolova, the track has surged across the global circuit with standout moments at Tomorrowland’s Mainstage and ARTBAT’s UPPERGROUND showcase in Buenos Aires. – Alex Lambeau
Last Heroes & Years Of War – Say Goodbye
Two Dancing Astronaut favorites have come together on a former Dancing Astronaut Label of the Year. Last Heroes and Years Of War — a Dancing Astronaut Artists to Watch alumni — team up on Ophelia Records for the ultimate meeting of minds in melodic bass with “Say Goodbye.” And the release is followed by the announcement of Last Heroes’ biggest headlining tour to date. – Ross Goldenberg
Marco Strous – Monkey Swag
Marco Strous returns to Black Book Records with “Monkey Swag,” a tech house weapon that lands right as the Bristol-based producer continues his explosive rise across the US. Leaning into the groove-heavy style he has become known for, the new single drops amid a breakout run marked by white-hot IDs, sold-out shows, and high-impact sets from Red Rocks to Brooklyn Storehouse. Strous has become a favorite among some of the biggest names in house music, including Michael Bibi, Disclosure, Mau P, and Beltran. “Monkey Swag” captures the precision and personality behind Strous’ productions, adding a fresh statement to his growing body of work. – Danielle Carty
Disclosure – Deeper (feat. Leon Thomas)
Disclosure unveil their soulful new single, “Deeper,” featuring Grammy-winning artist Leon Thomas. The sibling pair crafts a vibrant backdrop for Thomas’s dynamic vocals, using their signature blend of deep house rhythms and intricate production. “Deeper” is a smooth, seamless fusion of classic house and R&B, designed for both the dancefloor and the perfect unwind. – Liana Stern
