Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Jamie xx, Alesso & Martin Garrix & More

This week in dance music: A woman died after attending the first weekend of Tomorrowland 2025, and Metallica loaned out parts to the festival’s organizers as they rebuilt the event’s mainstage after the original burned down. The festival’s co-founder Michiel Beers and Insomniac Events’ co-founder Pasquale Rotella gave us some insight into the UNITY show the two companies are co-producing next month at Sphere Las Vegas, Martin Solveig announced his retirement from touring and Timmy Trumpet hurt himself and had to cancel some upcoming shows.

Los Angeles-based streetwear brand Pleasures dropped a new collection featuring classic Daft Punk imagery, and Bicep worked on the soundtrack for a new immersive audiovisual project about how climate change is affecting artists and community in the Arctic region.

We also talked to Diplo about writing BLACKPINK’s newest song “Jump,” which was originally written for his own group Major Lazer. (And speaking of K-pop, David Guetta remixed “Golden” from the Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack.) We also spoke with producer Bambii, our dance Rookie of the Month for July, about her rise and her excellent new Infinity Club II EP.

And b–ch, its Madonna: Ahead of the release of her Ray of Light remix album Veronica Electronica we shared photos of the queen in her Ray of Light era, broke down seven ways she changed dance music and ranked every track on the new project.

And to wrap it up and round it out, these are the best new dance tracks of the week.
