Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Fisher, Above & Beyond, DJ Holographic & More

This week in dance music: Beatport cited a 25% revenue increase in Mexico over the past year, along with plans to expand in the country, Zeds Dead, David Guetta and GT_Ofice made moves on the dance charts, The Dare tried to crowdsurf at a gig in Bristol and it did not go well, FKA told the story of how North West ended up making a cameo on Eusexua and we caught up with Flying Lotus on the occasion of his new film and the score he made for it.

And these, of course, are the best new dance tracks of the week.

Fisher, “Stay”

The Australian star drops his first release of 2025 with “Stay,” a bright, warm gospel house/meets tech house singalong apt for these first few days of spring. The track samples Exile’s 1978 classic “Kiss You All Over” (a song that fans of Happy Gilmore will quickly recognize) and bumps along brightly before an abrupt end. Fans of the Fish can get more all summer long, with the producer playing fests including EDC Las Vegas and Electric Forest along with his residency at the new club [UNVRS] in Ibiza. His own event, Fisher’s Out 2 Lunch, happens for the second time this May in his native Gold Coast of Australia.

Above & Beyond with Zoe Johnston, “Quicksand (Don’t Go)”

The gentlemen of Above & Beyond, along with frequent and longtime collaborator Zoe Johnston, have always specialized in a style of music that makes you dance as it also makes you cry. Their latest “Quicksand (Don’t Go)” is more of the same in the best way, with the gently propulsive, highly emotive anthem and slowly building anthem contemplating concepts of love, loss and longing over nearly six minutes. The song is the lead single from A&B’s newly announced sixth studio album Bigger Than All of Us, coming July 18 on their own Anjunabeats label. Ahead of that, the trio will play major festivals including Ultra in Miami next week and Coachella next month.

DK Holographic, “Aries”

Detroit’s DJ Holographic drops her debut album House In the Dark, with each of the 12 songs named for each of the 12 zodiac signs. Given that Aries season starts today, it’s apt that “Aries” opens the album, with the song encapsulating a driving and kaleidoscopic electro production that the producer occasionally strips down to just the kick drum and a glowing bells before building it all back up. “Through healing practices like shadow work, astrology, and more, I’ve found a profound sense of arrival while writing House in the Dark,” the producer says in a statement. “I’ve stepped into who I’ve always wanted to be as a creative and so much more.” Whatever your sign, there’s something for you on this dazzling LP.

Loco Dice & The Martinez Brothers, “Juice”

It’s a meeting of the minds on “Juice,” with Loco Dice partnering with fellow club kings The Martinez Brothers for the tight, hypnotic and predictably cool tech house track. The collaboration, from Dice’s forthcoming album Purple Jam, is one of myriad upcoming get-togethers for producers, with the three guys closing out Space together at the tail end of Miami Music Week on March 27 and then going b2b at Coachella next month as part of the festival’s freshly announced Quasar Stage lineup.

Dom Dolla feat. Daya, “Dreamin (Anyma Remix)”

Dom Dolla’s slinky February release “Dreamin” gets the Anyma treatment via a new remix from the latter producer. Under his watch, the song becomes bigger, darker and tougher, with the producer’s melodic techno fingerprints all over the edit and the approach altogether creating an eerie juxtaposition against the “sunny days/ it’s such a pretty place/ I see your smiling face” lyrics.

Booka Shade, “Broken Glass”

German mainstays Booka Shade release the latest in the duo’s long list of studio albums today, with For Real opening with the sumptuous “Broken Glass.” Containing none of the harshness its title might indicate, the track is laden with bongos, strings and bird calls, altogether falling squarely into the deep, vibey and contemplative realm where so much Booka Shade music has existed for more than 20 years now.
