New music highlights from Dancing Astronaut’s Artists to Watch in 2025:
Henri Bergmann & Tobak – Drip
Henri Bergmann — the first of six Dancing Astronaut Artists To Watch in 2025 releasing this week — has returned to her Automatik imprint for the first time in 2025 for a collaboration with Hungarian producer, TOBAK. Following standout sets at Space Miami and Coachella, “Drip” now arrives with early support from names like Adriatique, Layla Benitez, and 19:26, positioning it as a key moment in Automatik’s evolving trajectory. And as the label heads into the second half of the year, “Drip” signals Bergmann’s continued commitment to pushing boundaries on her own terms.
GENESI – Hyper EP
GENESI has returned to Solomun’s iconic Diynamic imprint with a sophomore EP that marks a full-circle moment in his artistic journey. Once inspired by the label’s early laid-back, low-BPM sound, GENESI has now found himself embraced by the very universe that first shaped his vision. The release follows a major career milestone, with the EP’s title track making its debut on the Ultra Mainstage during a back-to-back set from Anyma and Solomun, a defining moment that signals just how far GENESI’s sound has come.
Adam Sellouk & Doriann – Nocturnal / Adam Sellouk & Glowal – Twisted
Adam Sellouk is back on Experts Only with a double delivery of collaborations: “Nocturnal” with Doriann and “Twisted” with Glowal. While further solidifying his momentum as one of Dancing Astronaut’s Artists to Watch in 2025, the release follows a standout moment at Buenos Aires’ Elements club, where Sellouk debuted “Twisted” to a rapturous crowd, reinforcing his growing presence on the global stage. With Doriann and Glowal each bringing their own creative signatures to Sellouk’s project, both tracks highlight the collaborative spirit and genre-defying sound that have positioned Sellouk at the forefront of dance music’s next wave.
Oklou & Bladee – take me by the hand (Aaron Hibell Remix)
It’s been a big week for Aaron Hibell, who not only released a beautiful remix of Oklou and Bladee’s “take me by my hand,” but also announced his debut shows in the United States. The remix shows off Hibell’s range as a producer; it’s a thoughtful reimagining of the original that perfectly combines house music elements with his signature cinematic soundscapes. The newly announced show dates are a part of his ‘Synchronicity Tour‘ — his first-ever fully live headline shows — with dates in Los Angeles and New York serving as his debut performances stateside.
LUSU – Drums Of The Night
Arriving via HI-LO’s HILOMATIK imprint, “Drum Of The Night” serves as LUSU‘s latest foray into their futuristic take on techno. The drum-heavy record was just one of many IDs played out during the duo’s (Mike Cervello and Wiwek) Parookaville set last July. Fast forward exactly a year later and it has now it received a formal streaming release.
PACS & DAMEN – Sippin
Two of the hottest up-and-coming names in the melodic techno space have joined forces. And that is PACS — the sixth and final Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025 appearing this week — and DAMEN who unite on The Infrastructure 3.0, a compilation via Massano’s Simulate label. Landing as a high-octane collaboration, “Sippin” is a perfectly equal combination of their signature sounds and adds to their ever-growing discographies which already include standouts like PACS’ “Hyperdrive” and DAMEN’s “Flex My Ice” with SCRIPT.
