TL;DR

September 25 brings new releases across techno, trance, house, and bass music. Charlotte de Witte's The Resistance EP donates all proceeds to The Nighttime Foundation, while Kaskade releases his 12-track ORIGIN // album featuring collaborations with Layton Giordani, Crankdat, Wooli, and others. Armin van Buuren delivers Take Me Home with a Rising Star trance remix, and EAZYBAKED teams with Distinct Motive on a Deadbeats release.

Charlotte de Witte Donates Resistance EP Proceeds to Club Culture

Charlotte de Witte releases The Resistance, a four-track EP on KNTXT tied to her audiovisual show of the same name. The project features Theo Nasa on the title track and intro version, XSALT on See Through The Lies, and Charlotte de Witte's own vocals on Another Place, a track she says has been in the making for over a decade.

The EP follows the summer tour of The Resistance audiovisual show, including its world premiere at UNVRS Ibiza and an XXL version at Rock Werchter in Belgium. At the center of the release is the message "Protect Club Culture," with all EP proceeds being donated to The Nighttime Foundation.

Armin van Buuren Returns to Trance Roots with Rising Star Remix

Armin van Buuren releases Take Me Home (incl. Rising Star Remix), giving the single both its original version and a remix under his Rising Star alias. The release keeps Armin van Buuren close to his trance side, with the Rising Star version adding a more uplifting direction to the package. It continues his recent run of releases that connect his main artist name with the sound longtime A State of Trance listeners know him for.

Kaskade Unveils Full ORIGIN // Album

Kaskade releases ORIGIN //, a 12-track album that brings together melodic house, progressive electronic music, and bass-driven production. The project includes recent singles such as Meet Again with Layton Giordani and Natalie Jane, Comes Back Around with BUNT., A Little Bit with Crankdat, Runaway with GLOCKENBACH and Kaitlin Aragon, and Hear Me Now with Wooli and MAXINE.

ORIGIN // was first revealed during Kaskade's 2026 return to Coachella, where he debuted nine unreleased tracks and introduced the live concept tied to the album. The project connects to his limited ORIGIN // Tour, which brings the production to select shows in New York, Santa Monica, Miami, and Austin.

Bass Collaborations from EAZYBAKED, Distinct Motive, and Tape B

EAZYBAKED and Distinct Motive release What's the motive? through Deadbeats, turning their 2026 run of shared stages into an official collaboration. The track follows their B2B at the 2025 Deadbeats Miami Music Week showcase and a multi-date co-headline run that has included sold-out shows in Phoenix, Austin, and Boise.

Tape B releases When I Saw You Again, the final single from his upcoming debut album Ghost in the Static. The track shows a slower and more emotional side of his sound, with spacious production shaped through months of revisions after starting as a short drop idea in December 2025. It follows recent album singles including Signature Sound with Zaytoven, I'll Never Know with Effin, and Underneath Your Skin with Dani King.

House and Dubstep Entries from Max White and COSTA

Max White releases Priorities, a deep and sensual house track centered on seductive vocals, warm basslines, and hypnotic late-night production. The track turns a story of sex, money, and drugs into something more intimate, with the vocal shifting from indulgence toward a need for real connection.

COSTA makes his Deadbeats debut with Dimension, bringing together laser-cut arpeggiators, soaring synth lines, wonky bass, and heavy low-end drops. It follows years of momentum built through flips and remixes of tracks by Timbaland, Tove Lo, and Selena Gomez, along with support from Excision, Subtronics, Crankdat, Levity, ALLEYCVT, and Zeds Dead.

Ghost in the Static arrives October 2. Additional releases this week include To The Front from AFROJACK and Bradeazy.
