Kygo Honors Avicii's Legacy with Dan Tyminski

Kygo teams up with Dan Tyminski on Heaven On Your Mind, a release that connects directly to Avicii's influence on modern electronic music. Tyminski is best known in EDM for his vocal performance on Avicii's Hey Brother, making his appearance here feel intentional, especially as early previews framed the track around Kygo's tribute to Avicii. Kygo has spoken many times about Avicii's role in inspiring his own move into electronic music, and that connection also appeared in 2020 when he completed and released Forever Yours with Sandro Cavazza after Avicii's passing. With Tyminski's folk-rooted vocal tone placed over Kygo's melodic production, Heaven On Your Mind delivers one of the week's most meaningful crossover releases.

Trance Meets Hard Dance on Armin's Latest

Armin van Buuren, Hannah Laing, and Wippenberg release U Got 2 Know, a collaboration that brings trance, hard dance, and classic Eurodance influence into the mix. The track takes its title from Cappella's early 1990s dance record, connecting the release to a recognizable club-era reference while placing it in a current dance music setting. With Armin van Buuren representing one of trance's biggest names, Hannah Laing bringing her harder club sound, and Wippenberg adding his long-running link to trance and electronic music, U Got 2 Know stands as one of the strongest entries in this week's new music.

HUGEL Previews Debut Album with Ultra Naté

HUGEL returns with Imael Angel and Ultra Naté on Movin' To The Sun, the first single from his upcoming debut album Twenty One. Released through HUGEL's Make The Girls Dance imprint, the track pairs Ultra Naté's house vocal background with Imael Angel's songwriting and HUGEL's Latin house production. The release follows HUGEL's Coachella debut, his return to Hï Ibiza, and new Las Vegas dates at XS Las Vegas, Encore Beach Club, and EBC at Night.

Bass and Techno-Trap Round Out the Week

Pauline Herr returns to bitbird with HIGHONYOU, a techno-trap release inspired by the early intensity of a new relationship. Written after Pauline Herr met her now-boyfriend in Tokyo, the track channels that feeling through emotional vocals, glitchy FX, soft piano chords, and 808-led production. Pauline Herr also points to old Virtual Self songs and video game textures as part of the track's influence, giving HIGHONYOU a sound that moves between late-night techno pressure and trap structure.

HEYZ flips Word Scramble by Zeds Dead, Subtronics, and Tape B, turning the 2026 dubstep collaboration into a heavier bass edit. The new version keeps the attitude of the original while pushing it further into HEYZ's own bass production style, with sharper drops and a sound made for live sets. The release follows HEYZ's EDC Las Vegas debut and his sold-out hometown LASER CAGE show at Denver's Ogden Theatre.

BrokinPaper releases Damage, the first single from his upcoming album set for September. The track introduces a darker direction for the New York City electronic artist, pulling from UK bass and UK garage while keeping the production bass-heavy, distorted, and minimal in structure. BrokinPaper said the track started as something deliberately bass-heavy for FUNCTION OVER FORM, with the lead synth added before the drop to give the bassline more context.

Additional releases this week include tracks from CamelPhat, Fatboy Slim, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Quintino, Robin Schulz, and Westend. All tracks are available now on streaming platforms.
